“High Hopes” is one of my go to’s when I’m down.

Megapanda profile image
Megapanda in reply to Isinatra

Is that one by panic at the disco ?.

Isinatra profile image
Isinatra in reply to Megapanda

Sorry I raised your hopes(pun intended). No, it’s an oooollld song by Frank Sinatra. 😎🎅🏻

Megapanda profile image
Megapanda in reply to Isinatra

Great pun ☺️. Oh okay I never really liked him . Swing and jazz style music isn't really my tea but I am glad it helps you .

Thanks. Also a friend from the UK turned me on to some songs by Eric Idle. They always put a smile on my face. 😁

😁I’m a person who likes the same song that you like. Don’t hesitate to mention a song because someone else already has. A lot of people like the same songs and music. But it was a great surprise to me that anybody else would like “High Hopes”. I was afraid someone would think I was weird. 😂But, HEY! We’re having fun, right?

Great choice that is such a classic song

Shnookie profile image
Shnookie in reply to blueheart23

Check out Sting and Tony Bennett ‘s duet version. Actually when I hear this song it brings up fond memories for me. My beloved mommy was from the East Bronx NY and Italian-American crooners like Mario Lanza and Tony Bennett were very popular. She and my dad introduced me to this kind of music and it was fabulous when some of the singers sang in Italian usually for Romantic love songs

Roxylox profile image
Roxylox in reply to Shnookie

Oooh, I do like Mario Lanza

Shnookie profile image
Shnookie in reply to Roxylox

I Love 💕 Lanza. Actually during one of the 3 tenors concerts, Luciano Pavarotti, Placido Domingo and Jose Carreras, Carreras sang Because You’re Mine because he was influenced by Lanza

blueheart23 profile image
blueheart23 in reply to Shnookie

Wow, such a beautiful duet. I’m surprised I have never heard this song. I consider myself dare I say a mogul in the music industry but clearly I am mistaken. Thanks for sharing it has now been downloaded to my playlist😊

blueheart23 profile image
blueheart23 in reply to blueheart23

That’s Life by Frank Sinatra is another classic I enjoy.

Shnookie profile image
Shnookie in reply to blueheart23

Happy 😃 that it’s in your playlist. Sting is a one of a time singer/entertainer. I’m not always fond of who was picked to sing with Bennett, but Sting was an excellent choice. Please also check out the incomparable Amy Winehouse had a duet with

Bennett on Body and Soul. Sheer genius

blueheart23 profile image
blueheart23 in reply to Shnookie

I definitely will, music has such an influence on a person’s soul.

Shnookie profile image
Shnookie in reply to blueheart23

U R so correct. Excellent choice on picking that’s life by Sinatra.

Thanks for sharing , glad you feel that you haven't needed it in a while . Sometimes I like to listen to songs I associate with depression or similar even when I am in a good mood as it has a different feel to it .

I'm going to be greedy here,🤣 how about Freddie Mercury and Barcelona, and Whitney Houston, One moment in time. Pure power ballads, sadly no longer with us, truly divine voices, heaven has gained a pair of angels 🙏

Yes there are definitely some classics out there . One of my favourite classic songs is total eclipse of the heart

Loved Whitney RIP. Her up tempo songs like I just want to dance with somebody great to dance 💃🏼 to. Please also check out on You Tube her version of

Star Spangled Banner sung live. Best version ever !

Cb1963 profile image
Cb1963 in reply to Shnookie

Yep, I've seen that already, boy, she certainly has a pair of lungs in her, now , they said it wasn't sang live, but it was dubbed over, what's your opinion? They reckon she wouldn't have been able to hear the music being played because of all the background noise, but it certainly gave me goosebumps 😊

Shnookie profile image
Shnookie in reply to Cb1963

Now I think 🤔 I remember that. Either way, a great version of the song and Whitney was the ultimate entertainertragic that she died so young but I have wonderful memories of listening and dancing 💃🏼 to her music

Cb1963 profile image
Cb1963 in reply to Shnookie

Yep, definitely, my FAVOURITE all time female singer, a talented lady, stunning, and ' didn't we have it all ' as one of her songs gave us, the ultimate, and blessed lady left the planet way to early, a sad loss 😢

Shnookie in reply to Cb1963

U R correct. We lost her much tooSoon. The only consolation is that we all have our favorites like I will always Love U to listen and treasure

I like to listen to Jhene Aiko music. The songs I listen to most would be LOVE, Speak, and Spotless mind. Most of her music is for healing and joy.

You'd think that as a musician I would have an answer, but I don't do that. If I did, it would not be a classical piece; it would be "Walkin on Sunshine".

That is such a fun upbeat song

There have been a number of times where I felt anxious and I listened to a couple of songs- Laura Shigihara's 'Everything's Alright" and Lauren Aquilina's "King". They are both very calm, softer songs that are encouraging.

Megapanda profile image
Megapanda in reply to EndUser13

I used to listen to Lauren before but stopped for some reason. I did enjoy the song from Laura , such beautiful and peaceful lyrics . Great suggestion

I got a stone cold winner for you: Pat Metheny, "Always and Forever". You can get it on youtube and all other such places.

Megapanda profile image
Megapanda in reply to Zhangliqun

That song gave me beach vibes for some reason can just imagine sitting by the sea and having that has background music ☺️

Zhangliqun profile image
Zhangliqun in reply to Megapanda

He does a lot of Brazilian jazz too, you can see the palm trees and smell the tropical air. So you might also like:

* Minuano 6/8

* Have You Heard

* 5-5-7 (so named because the main riff has two 5-beat measures followed by a 7- but don't be fooled by that, it's very catchy)

* Third Wind

* Slip Away

He also does a lot of traditional jazz, experimental, bop, he's really hard to put in a category.

For something on a day when you're feeling extremely frustrated, a total change of pace, Zeppelin's When The Levee Breaks works for me.

Listen to music like the blues with classic artists like BBKing,Susan Tedesky,rock and roll like Bonnie Raite,Los Lobos,NRBQ, Al Anderson... Sometimes I like to begin to dance or sing along. Try it. It will help.Personally I spend my day listening to music everyday. It helps my mood.

Megapanda in reply to Iamanartist1

Awesome . I never really listend blues music until I went on a cruise and they had an awesome band who done some blues numbers . They really good and changed my mind about that genre

Shnookie in reply to Iamanartist1

I love artists like B.B., Bobby Blue Bland and Etta James. I was lucky enough to see B.B., Bobby, Etta and Ray Charles in concerts. Los Lobos does a great version of the classic Spanish language song played at many weddings Sabor a mi

High Hopes sung by Frank Sinatra?

The music that brings me the most happiness is whatever I happen to be working out -- either on music paper or with the setup you see below. I was a studio musician for most of my life and nothing else gives me that intense feeling of connection and meaning. Writing music and fiction has saved me more than once.

Thanks for the kind words, Megapanda.

I shouldn't reveal which albums I've worked on at a forum like this one, since we're all anonymous, but I can PM you privately when I put out a bit of music under a pseudonym, if you like. I won't be able to focus entirely on music until after next October, so I probably won't release anything before then because I'm a perfectionist.

About the drum machine on the top right in my photo: lots of my old studio friends told me it was a mistake to pick one up -- it's an Analog RYTM MkII by the Swedish company Elektron -- because the workflow was too difficult and involved. I told them I live for musical challenges and that's the truth: I have *loved* working with that machine for the past few years.

My go to song list is long and varied. Some of my favorites are I will Survive by Gloria Gaynor, and I'm Still Standing by Elton John. They make me feel strong and defiant. When I am sad I try to put on anything upbeat that makes me feel like dancing.

Megapanda profile image
Megapanda in reply to Mrspjsmom

They are two classic songs . I will survive is such a great song to shout out of the top of your lungs to annoy the neighbors with 😂 My parents are massive Elton John fans . My favourite EJ song is candle in the wind

I will share a few1) Honest mistake by Max Embers

2) Gone by Blake Rose

3) Let this go by Joe Kirk

4) Silhouette by Jacob Lee
