Calling all people cooler about music than I am

[darkemeralds]

I'm looking for a song. I don't know which one, so I need your help. I'm looking for a non-religious song with lyrics having to do with redemption, someone saving someone emotionally, helping, offering a hand and a heart, letting the other person know s/he's going to be okay and isn't alone, lifting someone up, giving someone hope for the future.

That sort of thing.

It's for my Podbang entry. The author specified song lyrics for 11 out of 12 chapters but told me she drew a blank on the one, and said "go for it". I've been googling my little heart out, but popular music, she is very very big.

Suggestions? Moodier is better, but upbeat is possible too. Country, rock, pop, soul, blues, folksy--I welcome any ideas.

TIA flist-o-mine!

The one that immediately comes to mind is I Will Hold On (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7A4Tx2Xlohw) by Moxy Fruvous. Dunno if the mood is right, but the sentiment seems to be mostly what you're looking for.

I can upload the song for reals if you/author want it.

That's really good! And the mood is right. I like it! See? I knew I'd find out about some good music. I just...wouldn't have known to google Moxy Fruvous, you know?

Thank you!

Woo! I know pretty much no music but I always liked that song and thought it could make a good vid for the right fandom/characters.

You're good with the lyrics? Or would you like the song if you're doing some sort of fanmix thing where people can dl the songs that go with each chapter?

I'll get the song--I'm all about paying the big $1.29 at iTunes or amazon.com. The story itself uses a stanza or so as each chapter header, and for the podfic, I'm fading up into each of the actual songs as the bridge from chapter to chapter.

It's a really good story and I can't wait to get it out there so I can talk about it!
