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?

I play a fair amount of Contemporary Christian and Classical Music (not that I don't enjoy many other types). Both of these categories, however, abound with great affirming music; which to me is a lot of what this hobby is all about!
For me, I think of or play "The Children of Sanchez" by Chuck Mangione or "Street Life" by the Crusaders featuring Randi/y Crawford on vocals.
"Lovely Day" by Bill Withers

There are just so many for me, I don't even want to get my mind going too much.

I mean C'mon... Love Shack by The B-52's : )
What's so Funny About Peace Love and Understanding, by Elvis Costello, of course. Written by Nick Lowe, I think.
