Singing a different song

Songs and music can inspire us to sing a different song ourselves.  Here's a selection of posts from the archive that are inspired by some great songs:

Sunshine on a rainy day: 'Shine' is a blogging favourite to chase the blues away.  Check out the video here - guaranteed to bring you some inner sunshine!

Slow down you move too fast: Do you ever feel like you're hurtling through life?  Tune into these lyrics from Simon & Garfunkel and you'll find yourself slowing down (and yes, feeling groovy)

Search for the hero: my choice of songs that make your heart sing

I'm gonna do it all:

It was one of those songs that made you sing out loud.  Made you feel fired up and passionate and angry.  Made me think of people I knew who had that fire in their belly to do it all.  People who'd got set back, knocked back by fate, by ill health, by circumstance.  Who were still fighting, struggling, demanding with every breath to do it all.

Sunshine on a rainy day

It's been a long, grey, cool summer in Edinburgh... so thank heavens for songs that make our heart sing.  We need all the inner sunshine that we can get...

So it's a big thanks to Hilda Carroll for her amazing effort to compile the ultimate "feel good" playlist.  With uplifting songs from some great blog writers and positive thinking experts this list is guaranteed to blast through the gloom.

She hasn't done a top 10 but I'm pretty sure the first song on the list, and Hilda's own first choice, would be on it.  The song is Shine by Take That - and while I'd normally shy away from calling myself a Take That fan this is an amazing song to lift your spirits, and chase away the blues.

Enjoy!
