Optimism in Music.

I'm not a big fan of those "worst of threads." I like to concentrate more on the positive. That brings to mind a couple of songs that just make me feel good with their lyrics and melody. First is Bob Dylan's song New Morning. The lyrics sing of just that. It's a great song that never fials to put a smile on my face. Another of my favorites is a song by Cameo called I like the World. The words are truly inspiring. I must play that at least four or five times a week. Any songs come to mind that just make you feel good or that you play when you need to just feel good?

Hey great thread indeed! Boa2 good call on "Caravan"! Actually I dig all of the above responses. It's early this morning so like Zaikesman, I won't stretch my brain too much either:

"Twist and Shout" The Beatles
"I'm Wonderin' Where The Lions Are" Bruce Cockburn
"My Ever Changing Moods" Style Council
"Whatever Get's You Through The Night" John Lennon
"Hallelujah" Ryan Adams
and my favorite uplifting song is...

"40" by U2 (great lyrics and message, hmmmm, I wonder where they came from? :))

Anything by Nick Cave.
That's a good one bday0000!

The Beatles - "Here Comes The Sun." Not only a wonderfully uplifting song, but it leads off the best album side of all time, IMHO.
