If we could pin the link to this music special to the top of our page where everyone in the world could listen to it every day, there's no question the world would be a better place. There are so many great lyrics, so much great advice, so much to contemplate. One could argue that some songs are not as meaningful as others or that there should be other songs in their place, but one cannot argue that these songs can help change the word.
While to listen to each of these songs everyday might be overwhelming, we have made certain that the videos are all current so that, if you missed it back in 2011, you can listen to it now, and if you heard it, you'll want to hear it again!
