Great mix!
Thatâs one of very few submissions on this thread with which I wholeheartedly agree. And when you consider the age of the artists at the time of recording, itâs just amazing.

A perceptive point, but also unusually for youthful hippie types; they had songs about aging, time passing and mortality eg.
Apropos the above, but thinking about looking back, this is a (canât think of an adequate adjective) song and the video is an interesting technical and social time capsule.
My point exactly.
Childhoodâs End touched on similar topics, and both Fairport Convention and Pink Floyd admit to being influenced by their association with Joe Boyd.

There was a Scots guy, Campbell Lockhart, on my Foundation course (Leeds 1971 Jeff Nuttall,
Josef Beuys et al) most his family seemed to play with the Incredible String Band - and in terms of thinking, Campbell was then maybe a decade ahead of the rest of us.
But I like to think Iâve caught up quite a bit since thenâŚ
It appeared on my YouTube channel recommendations, Iâd never heard it before and played it four times in a row before being interrupted. Thatâs something that rarely happens.

Music affects us in so many ways. One of the comments left below this piano piece -
âI used to listen to this amazing piano piece when I was suffering from severe clinical depression. It was the only sound my ears wanted to hear. It became my friendâŚit helped me to get over my depression. It still reminds me of that time and how it created heaven in my life when everything else burned me like hell. I came back to say thank you!â
Rather hauntingâŚand impressive. A beautiful production by the Danish National Symphony Orchestra, IMO.
Bonus: itâs played on a 1936 Epiphone Deluxe.

I suppose the song itself is not so cheerful but what is cause for celebration is that Eric Burden has clearly still âgot itâ at the age of 83!

Iâve had this as an earworm all day, so I thought Iâd share it with you. You probably wonât thank me! 
I donât like the video! Strange choice. But the song - just addictive.

Not sure that it âlightens the moodâ but is an amazing song:

Hadnât heard of Mumford & Sons until I heard them sing this at Kamalaâs Harrisâs latest rally in Wisconsin. A British rock group from LondonâŚ
Not this one though â my choice. Johnny Cashâs âHurtâ.
