Weekend SmallChange: Listen to Deliriously Happy Music
SmallChange is a weekly feature at Never the Same River Twice. This category features quick and easy activities you can do on a lazy Sunday morning to learn a new skill and feel better. If you have any suggestions for this series, tell us your idea in the comments.
Have you ever heard a song that just plain makes you happy? For some people it’s Beethoven’s appropriately named Ode to Joy. For others it’s the choir-ific stylings of the Polyphonic Spree. No matter what your taste in music, there’s got to be something that puts a smile on your face and a bounce in your step.
The next time you’re at home or in the car by yourself, turn on your iPod or pop in a CD and listen to your favorite happy music. You don’t have to dance or sing but, if you picked the right music, you may not be able to stop yourself!
Yours in singing at the top of your lungs,
Maria
P.S. I need to give a shout out to Gretchen at the Happiness Project for reminding me of my love for Fatboy Slim.

The song that gets me every time is Louis Armstrong singing “What A Wonderful World.”
Here are the words, in case you have forgotten them.
I see trees of green, red roses too
I see them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself what a wonderful world.
I see skies of blue and clouds of white
The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night
And I think to myself what a wonderful world.
The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people going by
I see friends shaking hands saying how do you do
They’re really saying I love you.
I hear babies cry, I watch them grow
They’ll learn much more than I’ll never know
And I think to myself what a wonderful world
Yes I think to myself what a wonderful world.
That’s a great one, Corinne! Thanks for sharing.
