Spinoff from thread of words that make you happy

Do you have the same with a song - doesn't matter where you are or what you are doing but when you hear that song it invokes a feeling of well-being/happiness/peace?

I have 2 Mine
Sunshine on my shoulder by John Denver.
and
Morning has broken by Cat Stevens

I don't know what it is about those songs, but whenever I hear them, I get a great feeling of peace and well-being over me.

OK - this one has lyrics that are definitely not 'nice' but "Mack the Knife" by Bobby Darrin absolutely compels me to roll down the windows and sing out loud. Same with "Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen.

Anything from Elton John. His very voice does something to me inside. So bizarre how I've locked on to one voice like that.

It is literally all going to be ok if I can hear his voice.

LOL, No, I just love music.

Those who are my FB friends are subjected to this since I put a different video on my profile each day. There was a time when I actually considered becoming a radio DJ many years ago. Instead, I became a home health nurse and get to listen and sing along to the radio as I drive to and from patient's homes.

Yep, love this. It's kind of like yeah, life sucks, find you happy place and be mellow cause what other choice do you have.
