...my go to song at present is Paloma Faith ‘Better Than This’A refocus perhaps. What is your go to song? x

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J9JOut9yh5gI think the song, Give a Little Bit, by Supertramp from way back in the day when I was young and free, encapsulates what this forum means to me, and it still gives this cranky old cow a bit of a lift when I hear it.

Haven’t played it but keep singing it in my head.... “Shake it Off!” Taylor Swift.

Cake's cover of I Will Survive. Much grittier and grungier than Gloria Gaynor's so suits my "eff everything" kinda vibe at the moment ;)

I love the Mamas & the Papas, @Tasia & @Cath62 - I live in a real time warp ..... I don't really like anything much after the early 80s ...I left SO MANY of my records in NZ when we moved back to Aussie in 1999 .... I've always regretted it. But I kept all my SKY records (I LOVE their stuff & saw them live x 2, too). AMAZING group - each member is considered the 'best in the world' at their instrument - yet there are no egos in the group & they played amazing music - some with a terrific sense of humour!And these days, there are SO MANY LPs put onto Youtube - you can download an app & then save them to your computer as an MP3 etc ..... you can even change the pitch of the song, so that you can play along with it, in the key you prefer (guitar or uke!) ;) Some time ago, I bought a Turntable with the purpose of digitising them .... but still haven't gotten around to it .....

@Romla That’s one of the few records I remember my parents having! Played on a ‘utility furniture’ radiogram. Thanks for the link!

Music: what song you are listening to...invites and answers the question ‘how are you’

@poodlejules - a happy song to lift spirits :-)
Doof doof is well outside my zone of comfort. My children leave the room when I play Loreena Mckennitt - not everyoneʻs cup of tea.
Cindy Lauper, Womack & Womack , Phil Collins - my 80s days.
Yep, love the latino vibrancy - have lost my mojo :-( Bones ache from the pegfilgrastim injections. Best I can perform is gentle mindfulness qi gong (at home).

"True" by Concrete Blonde is always a go to when I'm feeling punchy (or wanting to).

Qi Gong is the best! I tune in to the older guy Don? on youtube when I'm feeling a bit slow and the Yoqi lady when I have a bit more oomph, feel so much better afterwards . Hope you're feeling a lot better soon!

We played Ed Sheerans Supermarket Flowers at my mums funeral, not sure I could listen to it without tearing up now. 😥

I donʻt know him, is he an instructor? When you have a moment would you please guide me his way? x

@Jwrenn - the power music and lyrics hold, they can transfer you to deeply moving places x

@Tasia I only know him through Youtube too. I searched for local groups near me but couldn't find any so I stick with him and Yoqi on Youtube

Dear Music Lovers,
I have just spent a lovely 10 minutes reading all the posts on this thread - what a range of songs! Got me smiling, humming and bobbing up and down while sitting at the computer.
For fans of 1960's rock - look on Youtube for ' Mix - Small Faces - Tin Soldier (good quality) ' - tell me what you think!
