I can see clearly now by Johnny Nash. Something about the
lyrics of that song or the upbeat tune, I don’t know for sure, always made me
feel a wee bit more positive and optimistic about my situation. No matter what circumstances
I was going through at the time.
It was my instant, pick-me-up, feel good song.
I would listen to the words, and just like that, my spirits
would be uplifted.
I will survive by Gloria Gaynor had her expressing her
determination not to give in to the overwhelming sadness of a devastatingly
hurtful breakup.
I was very young when I listened to this song. Even so, I
was struck by the fierce grit in her voice, as she insisted that she would
survive.
I have the single of 'I will Survive'. I can't tell you how many times I played that after my divorce. And survive I did.
ReplyDeleteVery cool songs, both of them. My go-to song for an immediate jolt of feel-good is Peter Gabriel's Solsbury Hill :)
