Let me throw a question out to the masses here...….

If you could pick one song that you know for certain will lift you out of any funk you're in, what would it be and why?

Your friend,

Brian :)

"The Heart Of Rock 'n' Roll" by Huey Lewis & The News

New York, New York, is everything they say

And no place that I'd rather be

Where else can you do a half a million things

All at a quarter to three

When they play their music, ooh that modern music

They like it with a lot of style

But it's still that same old back beat rhythm

That really, really drives 'em wild

They say the heart of rock and roll is still beating

And from what I've seen I believe 'em

Now the old boy may be barely breathing

But the heart of rock and roll, heart of rock and roll is still beating

LA, Hollywood, and the Sunset Strip

Is something everyone should see

Neon lights and the pretty pretty girls

All dressed so scantily

When they play their music

That hard rock music

They like it with a lot of flash

But it's still that same old back beat rhythm

That really, really kicks 'em in the

They say the heart of rock and roll is still beating

And from what I've seen I believe 'em

Now the old boy may be barely breathing

But the heart of rock and roll, heart of rock and roll is still beating

Johnny, aw

DC, San Antone and the Liberty Town, Boston and Baton Rouge

Tulsa, Austin, Oklahoma City, Seattle, San Francisco, too

Everywhere there's music, real live music, bands with a million styles

But It's still that some old rock and roll music

That really, really drives 'em wild

They say the heart of rock and roll is still beating

And from what I've seen I believe 'em

Now the old boy may be barely breathing

But the heart of rock and roll, heart of rock and roll is still beating, yeah

In Cleveland

Detroit

Uh, heart of rock and roll

I'm sorry for taking so long to reply.

This is tough. One song is near impossible.

I'm going to choose a song from the first band I started to listen to when I was a kid. The middle of the 70s, maybe a tick earlier. The band had broken up already.

The Beatles.

The song is Get Back. I still have the original 45!

It may not be what a therapist would recommend but when I'm feeling low I tend to get nostalgic and want to hear music that I remember listening to when I was young, innocent, and happy.
