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?

Jesus Jones - "Right Here Right Now"

BTW, I disagree with the suggestion of ELP's "I Believe in Father Christmas", which in my opinion is an indictment of the commercialization of Christmas among deeper meanings contained in the lyrics.
