Day 270 - Music

I'm not a huge music fan. Ask me "Who sings that song?" and I won't know. Invite me to a concert and nine times out of ten I will show no interest in going. Oddly enough though, I am stuck on Colbie Caillat's most recent album, "All Of You".

There are certain songs and albums that, I'm sure for you too, mark a certain time in your life. I remember the reggae songs of UB40 in High School, Savage Garden's pop music in college, and various break up songs all along the way. We all have those songs that transcend time, and take us back to another time and place. I'm sure this album will do that for me some day as well.

Colbie's songs cheer me on and up with upbeat pop sounds, and reminds me to stay positive. One of my favorite songs (lyrically) from her album is "Think Good Thoughts", I've included the lyrics below. What song takes you back to a different time and place?

Think Good Thoughts

I'm just gonna say it
There's no use in delaying
I'm tired of the angry hanging out inside me
So I'll quiet down the devil
I'm gonna knock him with a shovel
And I'll bury all my trouble underneath the revel
When I'm alone in a dark, dark room I have to tell myself to

Think good thoughts, think good thoughts
Imagine what the world would be if we will, we just
Think good thoughts, stop the bad from feeding
Oh won't let the negativity turn me into my enemy
Promise to myself that I won't let it get the best of me
That's how I want to be

Na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na [x2]

I'm not saying that it's easy
Especially when I'm moody
I might be cursing like a sailor
Til I remind myself I'm better
Cause words can be like weapons
Oh when you use them you will get them
Oh oh but I'm not gonna let them take away my heaven
And when I start feeling blue I remember to tell myself to

Whoa whoa whoa
Think good thoughts, think good thoughts
Imagine what the world would be if we will, we just
Think good thoughts, stop the bad from feeding
Oh won't let the negativity turn me into my enemy
Promise to myself that I won't let it get the best of me
That's how I want to be

I just think of rain on summer nights
Stars filling up the sky
Sun shining on my face
Making a secret wish
Finding my happiness
That always makes me hold my head up high
I wanna hold my head up high

Oh I wanna think good thoughts
Oh imagine what the world would be if we will, we just
(Think good thoughts)
Wouldn't that be something
Oh won't let the negativity turn me into my enemy
Promise to myself that I won't let it get the best of me
That's how I want to be

Na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na [x6]
