Bono said he wrote this song about a man who has lost his job, his family, his house and his money and still was able to see the wonders of that beautiful day. Quite a song about being present in the moment! "It's a beautiful day / Don't let it get away."
(I agree with Tinydancer that Bono is awesome. He's always spoken to my heart.)
Anything by the B52s is fun, too!
I clean my house to the greatest hits of The Monkees. That always gets me moving!

ooooh, I know exactly what you mean. There's a song of course the name and performer ESCAPES my feeble memory at the moment about saying goodbye to your father without reconciliation ("Say it loud, say it strong...") whatever.
That song makes me cry as I think of my dead dad. Not because of not having made my peace with him - we had that settled a long time ago - but because none of my siblings could do it.
Isn't it amazing how songs have such a powerful effect on our emotions?

The Living Years by Mike and the Mechanics is what you're looking for.

Thanks, flb! I knew I would find a living jukebox somewhere in here! Darn these cognitive lapses.

... in a place called Google. "Distributed cognition." Closest thing there is to a brain transplant these days.
Before I googled those lyrics, I thought it was Mr. Mister (yikes!) I went through the **horror** of downloading Mr. Mister samples from iTunes before I realized my mistake.

I love that song. I also like Bad Day by REM because of the peppy melody.

Pure silliness. Great for distraction and a chuckle. Gotta love it.
Also, "Your Teet's Too Big" as performed by Leon Redbone. Again, pure silliness.
Also, "Drive" by Incubus
"Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there, with open arms and open eyes" Not a bad sentiment.

I cringe in embarrassment.

...one hit wonders, I believe...
A sample to jog memory (the rest just looks too stooopid in writing...):
All I wanna do is to thank you
even though I don't know who you are
You let me change lanes
while I was driving in my car. . .Whoever you are
I wanna thank you who...Now all I wanna do is to exit
So I go to where I can get off
On a curve through the shoulder
There's no parking in that trough
So I drive around all day
Causing atmospheric haze
Till I wanna get on again
Then all I have to say isAll I wanna do is to thank you
Even though I don't know who you are
You let me change lanes
While I was driving in my carWhoever you are
I wanna thank you who...

I also love that song. It just fills me with peace and happiness. I don't know what it is about it. I can see how it could be a bit melancholy though, its just has so much emotion in it.
There are a couple of songs that my Dad had records of and played all the time that will make me cry at the drop of a hat.

Excellent song! Makes me want to dance and sing, too. And act like I come from out of this world!
Thanks for the reminder.

"It's your thing
do what you wanna do
I can't tell ya
Who ta sock it to"-- how can you argue with that?

It *is* a wonderful song.
Some of my fondest memories (BMD - Before Major Depression) are wrapped up in her music.
I gave 'Lone Star State of Mind' and 'The MCA Years' to my dearest friend, who lives in the UK. His kiddos gave me the Antie Mel monikor, and when we would go out on a 'Mel adventure' the kids would demand the radio song over and over.
My daughter and I would blare 'From a Distance' and 'Ford Econoline' in the car on the way to soccer practice. And the first time I took her to the UK with me she was delighted to fine a Woolworths near my friend's house.
Even today when I listen, I get a feeling of peace.
This is the end of the thread.
