I loved your responses to “How to Beat the Blues”. A few of you mentioned listening to music as a way to lift your spirits, and I agree! I’ve always got some tunes in my ears to help me navigate through the day.

It got me thinking about happy songs and which ones help you feel empowered. Here’s one of mine. It’s “You Gotta Be” by Des’ree. This song came out when I was in high school and it was such a ray of sunshine during that dark time.

So what you’re happy song? What kind of music boosts your mood?
