Music to lighten the mood - please add your own choices

I keep changing my mind. Which one was it?

Groove in G. :grin: thanks for putting it back

And now just played the Stevie Wonder - stunning! Haven’t heard that in centuries - very apposite given what’s going on in the world right now.

OK :partying_face:
I post and then later delete some, I don’t want to take up so much of the space.
I wish more people were posting, and more often. And more women. I really like the Melody Gardot song. I had never heard her before. Thanks :smiley_cat:

Thank you for noticing Peter. For me, sometimes, this thread feels a bit “blokish” and much of the music is not to my taste. So I’ve realised the way I can contribute is as I did with Melody, if I’m playing something on Spotify and I think others might enjoy it, I find it on Youtube and paste across. And if something catches my eye (like Chris’s did - and I’m glad I did) then I’ll try it.

I commend Melody to you. Hers is an interesting story. I saw her in Bordeaux in the submarine pens (would you believe) they’ve turned these world war II concrete “bunkers” into a dramatic concert venue.

Here’s another of hers:

My current favourite French song and this live version is absolutely stunning.

That’s another nice one. Just read a bit about her. Her story helps to explain the soothing quality in her singing.

I understand Stella’s original intent “to lighten the mood”, but I am also guilty of posting music (after seeing others do so) (still, no excuse) that I wouldn’t consider achieving that goal. I’ll also apologize for any of my future postings that fail to do so.
I wish there was another thread, maybe “Music to darken the mood” for the more archetypal “male music” that I think many women wouldn’t care for. Until then, I hope more women will start posting music on here, and just ignore the more “blokish” listings.
I’m glad you introduced me to Melody Gardot. :relaxed:

Thing is that a lot of things that some might feel darkens the mood would lighten my mood. We are all different. A couple of things I was going to post would probably be considered music for the Suicidal…:wink:
