Let's see...My son is 17 and he is a boy.  He likes Pink Floyd but I'm not sure whether a 14 year old girl would.  It is really hard to say what she would like, not knowing her.  I might suggest Creed or if she likes country, Big and Rich.

My 22 year old daughter likes Fergie...each person is so different.  My 4 year old likes Fergie too.

Well, like I said we are all different.  Creed's message is hopeful though sometimes maybe a little too melancholy.  Do you have any suggestions Lisa?

I would look into some groups called Leeland, some David Crowder Band, I like Salvador's "Black Flower" I think it's called, if she's at all into rap... I know an artists named Flame with Cross Movement his album "Our World Fallen" would be fitting, I think it's hard to not include my man Stevie Wonder... I could name so much... but those are my first thoughts

Leeland

David Crowder Band

Salvador : Into Motion: "Black Flower"

Flame : Our World Fallen

Stevie Wonder

 

If you want more or specifics let me know.

I'd try The Gladdest Thing by Deb Talan. You and I by Ingrid Michaelson. Fidelity by Regina Spektor. New Soul by yael Naim.

I like these, they are soft, upbeat and fun. I mean, uhhh  hhhemmmm, Some girls I know made me listen to these, they are pretty chill.

2, 6, 7, 8 and 12 are my favorites but I don't know if she would like them seeing as how she is only 14.

hey,  i heard brain inflammation and i automatically thought menengitis.

when i was 12, my 14 yr old, and only sister got menengitis.  it was bacterial, so luckily it was caught in time and she recovered.  she was in a coma for over 2 weeks.   honestly, if this is the case with your cousin, the best course is to collect the most familiar music to her, her favorites, her parents favorites, her friends favorites.  the best thing to do is stimulate the memories she may have lost because of the time spent comatose.  try to give her back what she has the potential to lose forever.   memory is fleeting and she's been through a lot.  it's comforting to be surrounded by what is most recent to her before she underwent this ordeal.  I'd talk to her friends and family, and let things take there natural course.  i'm not sure something new may be the best idea.

oh yeah, i've met creed, i went to school in tallahassee.  scott stapp is okay one on one, but otherwise he might be the most insecure posturing sycophant that i've ever met outside of politics.  don't examine the content of the music, examine what your cousin needs most.  this isn't billboard top 20 or top ten recovery songs of the new millenium, her rehabilitation is what's most important.  what other people think will help is not nearly as important as what she thinks will help.

By the way, if there are any Led zeppelin fans reading this thread, I just created a tournament dedicated to this great band. You can find it at the following link:

Well bro...i dont know if you will believe me or not, but miracles do happen in times we dont seem to see it. And as a singing brother...Try some of Don Moen..."Let Your Glory Fall" or try if you can if you can search for Gary Valenciano, he is our local singer who is currently suffering from Diabetes he sings both pop blended with christian songs in his albums like "Shout for joy",very very inspirational talent. Hope she reaches full recovery.Wink

Avatar of qu33nsgambit

why not throw in some Don Moen music, as suggested by my fellow Filipino. Even Catholics like me love them and they're so uplifting that even American Idol used Shout to the Lord in American Idol Gives back...

Hey man, you can go to my myspace and choose any song you like and I email it to you. It would be my gift to her.. there are no words or singing, just instrumentals. But she may like them.. 

Avatar of Rael

I want to thank everyone for their suggestions. I'm visiting her tomorrow night, actually, and have to finalize my playlist by tomorrow afternoon to burn it all in time.

I plan to post the finalized playlist - unfortunately my mother thinks that in this instance less is more, so she's leaning on me to make it thin, and this isn't the only place I've come to for opinions.

It does mean a lot to me that you all weighed in. I'll update you.
