Songs that help achieve self-realization

We all have that simple on/off switch in our heads that makes us creative. With the help of music that switch can go on and allow us do things we never thought possible. Although there are many different genres people listen to, I believe the ones with as little words as possible are the best to concentrate and achieve ones inner creative thoughts. Still, there are a few that are able to attain ones attention with words while not losing oneself in the singers words.
