This is a song I downloaded from an Amazon sampler: Superchunk 'learned to surf'
I love this song because it's about overcoming obstacles and taking charge of you're own life (at least this is how I interpret it).

Kings in Castles
I heard this song the other day. -- Michael Tolcher, kings in castles
This song is definitely optimistic. It shows there is a bright future out there for all of us.
There isn't a good version of this on youtube. What's here is a link to someone recording a live show. I recommend this album. "I Am".

why I need this blog
Having just got back from the LSA conference, which can be depressing for anyone trying to find a job in academia, I thought that there needs to be more good thoughts put out into the world. I want to help by sharing what helps me think positively- music. So whenever I hear a song that makes me feel good, optimistic, or just have more faith in humanity, I will post it here.
I was listening to music when I thought about it, and this was the song:
Michael Franti- Hey Hey Hey

I hope you enjoy the songs, and that they help you. What's your favorite song to feel good about life?
