The Healing Power of Music

[autographedcat]

Music is a constant in my life. It's a rare day that I go through without listening to or making music in one form or another.

And it occured to me on the way back from lunch with kitanzi this afternoon, as I cranked up a particular song, that there are some tunes that just never fail to make me happy.

Here are five of those songs, in no particular order:

Love Shack, B-52s
Sledgehammer, Peter Gabriel
Every Day I Write The Book, Elvis Costello
Got To Get You Into My Life, The Beatles
Linus and Lucy, Vince Guaraldi Trio

What are some songs that always leave you more cheerful than before? That make you dance in your seat? When you're down, what music do you turn to to pick yourself up? What songs make you instinctively reach for the volume control to crank it up?

I LOVE Thunder Road. I totally forgot that one.
