Times can be tough. Real tough. Your woman leaves you, your dog runs away, and the plumbing breaks open and your house floats away. What's a guy to do?
Get a drink? Find a buddy to talk to? Well, used to be, you could take some solace in turning on the radio and letting the soothing sounds sooth your tired soul. But alas, no more. You get more whiny, lame, emo punks telling you how much life sucks. Linkin Park, Bullet for my Valentine, and all those other bands that even their name is depressing. Sheese.
Hey buddy, if I wanted to hear about how crappy life is, I'll listen to myself talk. I'm trying to escape here!
Where are those uplifting, positive, songs of yore? The ones that lifted you up and that you couldn't sing without cracking a smile.
Here, for your listening pleasure, are a few of my favorites. I don't know about you but I could use a little positivity for my mind.
Bill Withers, soothe my soiled soul.
Some songs were like church back in the day. You didn't go to hear what you wanted to hear, you went to be convicted. To be inspired to change and be a better person.
Preach it to em, Brother Sly.
And then, there are songs to just lift you up. Hey ya'll, it's not going to be like this forever. Someday, things will get brighter! I promise! Not to mention, it's got soul!
Peace, Love, and Soooooooooul Train!
Rev.
