A good question May 15

That is to say, I am thinking about it, and I really still don't know. There are so many.

It depends on my mood, time of day, weather, job on hand, etc.... My range is from Bach to ZZ-TOP. Talking about the last one, 'every girl likes a sharp dressed man' (or something like that), did you ever have a good look at those guys? But that aside.

Maybe my 'good mood song' is played (at least in spring) at about 5-6 am by the birds, who wake me up with their greeting serenade

Two of them... Jun 7

But then there are so many.
But mostly Hotel California (Eagles) and Since I've been loving you (Led Zeppelin) and Comfortably Numb (Pink Floyd) and White Rabbit (Jefferson Starship)

Adding to the good-mood list:

As for Beethoven, would he have liked this rocking 'tribute'? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o3CAAcndhlM

They can be a right nuisance for those who go to bed at that hour...

Good morning, people! Jun 11

What better way to start the day than Händel's 'Ouverture' from his immense Messiah

And here's Quincy Jones's take on it:

A celebration indeed.

And in the words of the late James Brown, 'Wow! I feel good!'

Listening to... Jul 2

For a taste of it, here's the 'Prelude' (Ulster Orchestra),

And from there, still by Philip Glass, to the soundtrack for The Hours,

Mesmerising music for a beautiful, beautiful movie.

Yes, I know these are not songs strictly speaking, but I thought I'd share them with you because of the quality of the music, and of the composer.
After all, mood-boosting cannot be limited to the words accompanying a melody, right?
There are times when a string of well-organised notes and their interpretation can immediately evoke feelings and emotions.
As a result, and a natural sign of appreciation, lips may stretch into a private smile and eyes may become brighter or tear up, irrespective of the mood.
That's the beauty of music.

I thought 'Major Tom' was all the craze in Germany right now?

Personally, I'm not impressed by it. I think you should play this song before every match, I'm sure the opposition will shit themselves at the sound of it (and therefore it will put you in a good mood):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qWR3D0r4YZI

Speaking of stadium songs, why don't they play this anymore? Is it not woke enough?

I better... Jul 3

...should have chosen the Carmina Barana or something more distinguished as a "good mood song" to successfully draw the attention of one or another PM on my post, right, Baran?
