What song or singer do you like to listen to that makes you feel good?
At the moment I like listening to Alan Parsons and a song by Pharrell called Just a cloud away. Also have a massive playlist of faves.

    Good morning Mary. I will have a listen to those. In the last week or so I have heard In the Living World by Mike and the Mechanics - an oldy but a goodie. I just love this song. I have hopped onto You Tube to get a few extra doses. I often hope onto You Tube to listen to Andrea Bocelli singing The Prayer.

      Do you know a song his son did- i think its called Too late for Goodbyes. Not profound like Imagine but still good.

      Have you played Curtis Mayfield?- love Move on Up- and interestingly i just saw he played it with The Impressions- who i hadn't heard of til you commented ! My husband (tetraplegic) compiles amazing playlists and i discovered Curtis and many many others on his playlists. We also love Blues and our special fellow BB King- what a talent and awesome musician.

      Interesting! Your husband must have a "great" playlist! Curtis Mayfield used to be with the Impressions - before he went solo! I am not into "country" and/or "blues" - both bring back painful memories for me. My favorite generic type of music is - Jazz. BB King sings a song called "The Thrill is Gone" (1970) - the song is - at youtube.com

      My favourite song today is "what a waste" by Ian Dury..it is probably his best song....I used to play Ian Dury to Americans when he first started to record...and found their confused faces hysterical...they just didn't understand ANY of it..."You Limeys are crazy"...which being fair to them, we probably were.....

        "I get knocked down...but I get up again...you're never going to keep me down!...I get knocked down...." if I'm feeling down that is the one to play at full volume.. ..and "strange days indeed"...by John Lennon

          that sounds like a good song to play directly to the freakish constantly mutating corona virus. and strange days too in fact. just watched Spitting image episode last night- didn't realize it was still a thing. GoodGod they do great work- Boris and Putin are amazing images..and there was a skit about the corona virus riding in the limo with Trump and spreading around everywhere with him. Dark and funny at same time..as is the case when things are awful you sometimes have to laugh. Forgot to say- Biden was also brilliant- constant giant grin.

          Humour is a really vital component...the Brits laughed at hitler...the Ukraine laugh at putin now...contempt and humour are a part of your defence

          Wow- i like all those songs too..and KC n Sunshine band- Get down tonight, and Earth wind n Fire- September. Anything Bruno sings and with Anderson Paak makes me wanna daaance. I always think KC sing Lovely day- not Bil Withers- such a good song.
