Trying to make a birthing CD, any ideas about songs that keep you feeling strong?

Well strong or relaxed. I like stuff like portishead, sigur ros, ben harper, some new agey stuff, trip hop, classic like 70s and earlier, does anyone have any ideas about songs that would be great to add to my CD? I have to get it done real soon as i have passed the 37th week now. Thank you

If you like Portishead you might like Mazzy Star

Those two are my fav relax music

Whenever I listen to music now, I'm always thinking which songs would be great for a birthing CD! Here's some on my list... not all of it is your style but take what you like? I also wanted to start writing these down b/c I can tell right off the bat I can't remember half of the ones I've thought of lately...

Rosey's "Cozy" and "What a Beautiful Woman Should Be" She started I think classified as trip hop.
KT Tunstall's "Universe & U"
DMB's "Crush"
Stuff from Jack Johnson.. don't know any song titles since my big sis ripped me the CD
REM's "You and Me" and "Great Beyond" and maybe some others
Kimya Dawson's "I love you sweet baby" and some others
Nikka Costa's first CD has some good soft kind of growing songs
India Arie's "Video"
Dixie Chicks' "Lullaby"
Ani's "32 Flavors" and "Present/Infant"

Yes, i do love mazzy star. Ironic that you posted this particular song, it almost became my bride and groom dance song at my wedding. It is special or rather was special to my husband and I. We are in limbo, not living together. I do love this song tho, you have me pegged.
