I am looking for mellow or relatively lively positive songs about the wonders and benefits of living in the United States of America. This would be for YouTube and Apple Music playlists.
I'm just looking for positivity, no sarcasm or politics. A good example is "America" from "West Side Story".
Thanks,
I'm looking for mellow or moderately lively positive message songs that would appeal to adults about how amazing it "would be"/is to live in a country or be part of an organization where every citizen gets an equal vote, every citizen's vote gets counted and they are all summed up to decide important things like policy and/or elections.
I frequently have problems getting back to sleep in the middle of the night and I use meditation to help me. There's one that I frequently use that has a section where the listener tenses their fists, shoulders and stomach briefly that really help me to become more present to my body. I'd like to find a meditation that has more of those kinds of activities without it being as strident as the Wim Hof ones are.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
There are some albums that David Benoit made with producer Jeffrey Weber that are quite exquisite musical compositions, performances and audiophile recordings IMO. The songs that I really, really love are called Saturdays and "Painted Desert" off of the album "Every Step of the Way" made around 1988. I would love to find more songs like them and I've been looking for a long time. Any recommendations are greatly appreciated. I think part of what makes them great songs besides the recording quality and the composition is that there's not too much jazz freneticism.
BTW, here's my audiophile playlist on Apple Music that has mostly contemporary jazz and rock.
Also here's a great example of a song from a Denver band Images that is a great composition, performance and recording but unfortunately their music never made it to the streaming world.
Also here's a great example of a song called "On The Road" from keyboardist Dan Siegal which I consider a great composition, and great performance but not exactly an audiophile recording. Also this song never made it into the streaming world.
Thanks for your recommendations.
For years I’ve been working on YouTube and Apple Music playlists of songs about the wonder and beauty of our planet. So far I’ve only found 80 songs that fit my criteria and I’m looking for suggestions for more songs to add to my list. I readily admit that the song has to have some amount of musical appeal to me to be added to the list. Musically I tend to lean towards contemporary folk/Americana. I want to add songs that have a realistically hopeful view of our future as well as a simple reminder of the beauty and wonder of our planet.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
BTW, here's the link for the Apple Music version of the playlist:
