"Live" by Lenny Kravitz!!! When the sunlight strikes raindrops in the air, they act as a prism and form a rainbow. The rainbow is a division of white light into many beautiful colors. Regardless of the day, I'm glad you were born. | |

Hiya! Sorry to hear about this curveball life has thrown you..
I compile CD's for a living, would you believe, for background music for restaurants etc. I did a CD last summer for a bar who wanted positive, "outdoors in the sun with a cold beer" music. Here's what was on it, may be a few good ones for you: 1. Boo Radleys - Wake Up Boo 2. Dodgy - Good Enough 3. Bill Withers - Lovely Day 4. Commodores - Easy 5. Johnny Nash - I Can See Clearly Now 6. Finley Quaye - Even After All 7. U2 - Beautiful Day 8. Stereophonics - Have A Nice Day 9. Sundays - Summertime 10. Zoe - Sunshine On A Rainy Day 11. Katrina & Waves - Walking On Sunshine 12. Bob Marley - Sun Is Shining 13. Shanice - I Love Your Smile 14. KC & Sunshine Band - That's The Way I Like It 15. Sheryl Crow - All I Wanna Do 16. Bobby McFerrin - Don't Worry Be Happy Plus there's things like Let's Face The Music And Dance (Nat King Cole) Moving On Up - M People ("nothing can stop me") I Will Survive - maybe a little too literal, but a very strong, personal "you can do anything you wanna do, don't let anything stpo you" kinda song. Paid My Dues - Anastacia (and a good role model too, she beat cancer to come back fighting) Good lyrics like "you can't stop me now". James Brown - I Feel Good | |

I've been going through the Rolodex of songs in my head trying to pick them out. Quite a task.

I get knocked down But I get up again You’re never going to Keep me down Pissing the night away Pissing the night away He drinks a whisky drink He drinks a vodka drink He drinks a lager drink He drinks a cider drink He sings the songs that Remind him Of the good times He sings the songs that Remind him Of the better times: Don’t cry for me Next door neighbour... I get knocked down But I get up again You’re never going to Keep me down We’ll be singing When we’re winning We’ll be singing [Edited 1/13/05 15:53pm] | |

Depends what sort of positive. Ballads can really uplist you (ie michael bolton).
anyway "put your mouth on me" by Eddie Murphy.....it always boosts my confidense and cracks me up. | |
