A mood lifting playlist
- What goes around.../...comes around by Justin Timberlake - this has the bonus of sounding as if Justin is whispering sweet nothings in your ear, and the sentiment is rather zen and laid-back so perfect for diffusing work rage.
- Soul Bossa Nova by Quincy Jones - this is upbeat, uplifting and ever so slightly mad. It makes you want to dance along the street.
- Epoca by The Gotan Project - another song that makes you want to dance. Its a moody tango - satisfyingly aggressive.
- That's The Way I've Always Heard It Should Be by Carly Simon - this is a real piece of 70s vocal and guitar. Carly Simon has a beautiful, slightly melancholy voice.
- Older by George Michael - another melancholy song, but it didn't send me into a Monday depression as it is so well produced and a bit dreamy. Good for when there are seven minutes to wait until the next train and the platform is already full.
- If There's Any Justice by Lemar - just gorgeous. The song and Lemar.
- Its a Man's, Man's, Man's World by James Brown - after a day of being the only skirt in a roomful of suits this one really cheered me up. Great saxophone sounds too.
- Together by William Shatner and Lemonjelly - yes really. But it is fantastic. Weird but fantastic.
- Stan by Eminem - well, my day wasn't as bad as his.
The other thing that cheered me up was the sun finally breaking through the clouds and shining on my utterly lovely new pair of red shoes.
