High fives for having some songs from Spirit on here! That's one of my favorite movies. I listen to the soundtrack religiously. Here is a video with the song "Brother Under the Sun." I noticed you didn't have a link for that one, so I thought I might rectify the situation.

(EDIT: I've removed the links and kept the titles, just for the sake of removing clutter. There are notes on the artists/albums of the songs, however.)
