Happy Songs

"Look at me so free
Nothings holding me down
Look at me so free
Can’t keep my feet on the ground
1-2-3 Like a bird I sing
Cause you've given me the most beautiful set of wings"


Simple, yet effective, non?

Sitting here, in a humble little college on the edge of Clacton town, on the top floor, listening to the girls around me bitch and whine in their screeching voices and the tutor talking in the plain politocally correct monotone voice that all taught teachers and tutors talk in, it's easy to feel a bit... well, pissed off!

Which is why, when i come in through that door in the early hours of the morn, I plug my ears into one of the only music channels the college will allow us to listen to, most likely because they dont know about it, and my day is set to beat. A drum beat, that is :)

And whilst listening to this heaven sent music channel, a cheerful baritone enters my ears in the guise of a modern country singer by the name of Tim Mcgraw. Unfazed, i carried on with my musings and work, and when the song finished it's merry tune, something made me turn the song back and listen again, this time closer.

It was called The Last Dollar, and was a song about freedom, happiness, retribution, and the simple satisfactions in life. It sang about laughing in the face of the bad things that may have happened in your past, and even if you have nothing, theres still a smile. Because, at the end of the day, theres the future, and you can make that happen.

And to think, the only way I found this remarkable song was by being a bored college student surfing songs on Yahoo Music for some form of sanity.

Now I can't stop listening to it :D
