Mr President - the best is yet to come
it's such and uplifting melody and the lyrics are positive. the percussion is driving in a curtis mayfield style ... possibly a modern northern-soul banger not that i'm a northern soul fan .... plus the video is fabulously stylised to the music
take a peek....

Like these lyrics especially...
"gimme some time
Show me the foothold from which I can climb
Yeah, when I feel low
You show me a signpost for where I should go" |

Macklemore - Glorious.
I've rediscovered it recently and it brings me so much joy. The perfect song for sunny road trips through beautiful countryside.
Oh and Nina Simon's Feeling Good - it's dramatic. Beautiful. Sexy. That dirty jazzy riff intro, the descending tentrachord, the delightful ornamentation of the piano's triplets...
It's joy. Freedom. That sort of euphoric rush of how beautiful the world can be. It always makes me feel good.  |

now that we found love ..... no, not you and me. we've only just met and i hardly know you .... no, the awesomely uplifting disco-reggae song by Third Worldthat smashed the dancehalls in the mid 80's.
again, fabulous lyrics, brilliant musicianship and top notch production.

Yes! It's so good isn't it? I found out the Downtown part was a sort of sample after I kept singing it at the fiancé. 
The lyrics to it always make me smile ridiculously. |

Very nice, was half expecting a cover of the Robin s song which should totally be on this list. Pretty much had every woman of a certain age singing into her hairbrush |

Romeo And Juliet, Dire Straits.
Stunningly beautiful and cleverly put together song, about one of our most enduring cultural touchstones, with the line "You and me babe, how about it?".
Have you any idea how much ground all that covers?
Mind-boggling.
Shit vid though, but here you go:

There's something about Dire straits that thinks they should have been one of Patrick Batemans music monologues in American Psycho. |
