Let the Music Move You

Post-A-Day 2011When you’re feeling down, what music cheers you up?

I like this question for a lot of reasons.  Music plays an integral role in all our lives, more than we realize most of the time.  I don’t know that I could pick one specific genre or song that lightens my mood because there are so many of them.  When I find myself in a sour mood or unhappy, I search for songs that have an upbeat tempo and fun lyrics.

I like old time r0ck – ABBA, Aerosmith, Three Dog Night, etc., but what I really like is rocker chicks with an attitude.  Pink is one of my favorite artists, and I haven’t found a song of hers that I don’t like.

This is one of  my favorites right now:

So what music moves you, or lightens your mood?
