Hi,

"Listening to good music can ____ your soul."

What verb would you insert in here?


Thank you!
 
The first word that comes to mind is soothe.

(Right Dave:))?

It is so common as to be a cliche. A less common contender might be heal.
 
Does "solace" work?
 
"Solace" is almost always used as a noun, very rarely as a verb. I would be very surprised if anyone used "solace your soul". It's not grammatically incorrect but it's so rare that most people would assume it was an error.
 
elevate, inspire, enthuse, magnify, (re-)invigorate ...
 
How about "animate"?

Works for me!
