Guest guest Posted May 6, 2001 Report Share Posted May 6, 2001 Linda: There was a bit in Thursday's Boston Globe about a guy who is writing a novel about this idea, that an indigent novelist comes up with some fallacious but catchy " newagesque " idea and suddenly is thrust into the spotlight as a pop guru. Stranger things have happened ;-) My favorite current 'feel good' song is " Dance " by Lee Ann Womack; another would be the readover version of the graduation speech, " Wear Sunscreen " by Baz Luhrman (by the way, the lyrics are *not* by Kurt Vonnegut, but by Mary Schmich, a columnist for the Chicago Sun Times) There's an mp3 of it here: http://www.powerup.com.au/~songhurs/every.htm I love the Smash Mouth tune " All Star " and still get stuck on Simon and Garfunkel's " Feelin' Groovy " . Do you remember Right Said Fred's " I'm Too Sexy " ? <LOL> That was such a manifesto. Maybe we should be singing that into the mirror, eh?

Guest guest Posted May 8, 2001 Report Share Posted May 8, 2001 " Walk Unafraid " by REM (on " Up " ) http://www.cdnow.com/cgi-bin/mserver/SID=1379855857/pagename=/RP/CDN/FIND/a lbum.html/artistid=R.E.M./itemid=620749 As the sun comes up, as the moon goes down These heavy notions creep around It makes me think, long ago I was brought into this life a little lamb A little lamb Courageous, stumbling Fearless was my middle name. But somewhere there I lost my way Everyone walks the same Expecting me to step The narrow path they've laid They claim to Walk unafraid I'll be clumsy instead Hold my love or leave me high. Say " keep within the boundaries if you want to play. " Say " contradiction only makes it harder. " How can I be What I want to be? When all I want to do is strip away These stilled constraints And crush this charade Shred this sad masquerade I don't need no persuading I'll trip, fall, pick myself up and Walk unafraid I'll be clumsy instead Hold my love or leave me high. If I have a bag of rocks to carry as I go I just want to hold my head up high I don't care what I have to step over I'm prepared to look you in the eye Look me in the eye And if you see familiarity Then celebrate the contradiction Help me when I fall to Walk unafraid I'll be clumsy instead Hold my love or leave me high. Walk unafraid I'll be clumsy instead Hold my love or leave me high.

Guest guest Posted May 9, 2001 Report Share Posted May 9, 2001 A couple of my favourite feel good songs at the moment are " Shine " and " Power " by Vanessa Amorosi.
