Thanks for that. I don’t believe I’ve heard but have heard of it. Will give it a listen soon.

After that earthquake, maybe we need calm soothing music now.
At least I do.

Ride the Night Away - another from the Springsteen family: Southside Johnny / Little Steven, the combination of rock and soul with soaring girl chorus, great when heading for the city lights (or away from them, whatever, as an escape…)

Summer of 1978, it was 40C in the shade, and I had approximately 10kg of organic chemistry texts in my arms that I would spend the following ten weeks (i.e., the whole summer break) digesting, dawn to way past dusk every day of the week. I was looking out the glass door at a shadeless walk of some 600m to my dorm room, it was humid as fuck, I was wishing that both Our Friend Mr. Carbon and I were dead and this came on the cafeteria sound system. Been a go-to ever since. Don’t judge.

For about a decade throughout my twenties I would wake up, usually at 3 or 4am, with some song playing in my head. A lot of the time I didn’t get back to sleep, and they became an obsession. None of them were upbeat, apart from this one.
A notable second would be this one, but I’m convinced the video is a mind-virus and the singer has probably been brutally murdered at 18 years of age for being too old or being in a relationship, because Korea. Also, fucking terrible rap bridge.

Hands down “I will survive” for all heart-broken people.
At first I was afraid, I was petrified
Thinking I could live without you by my side
And after spending nights
Thinking how you did me wrong
I grew strong
And I learned how to get along
Now you’re back
From outer space
And I find you here
With that sad look upon your face
I should’ve changed that stupid lock
Or made you leave your key
If I’d’ve known for a second
You’d be back to bother me
Go on, go, walk out the door
Turn around now
You’re not welcome anymore
You’re the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye
Think I’d crumble?
You think I’d lay down and die?
No, not I, I will survive
Long as I know how to love, I know I’ll stay alive
I’ve got my life to live
And all my love to give and
I will survive
I, I, I will survive
It took all my strength not to fall apart
Trying with all my might to mend my broken heart
I spent so many nights feeling sorry for myself
How I cried
But now I hold my head up high
And you see me, somebody new
I’m not that lonely little person
Still in love with you
Now you come droppin’ in
Expectin’ me to be free
Now I’m saving my lovin’
For someone who’s loving me
Go on and go, walk out the door
Turn around now
You’re not welcome anymore
You’re the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye
Thinkin’ I’d crumble
Did you think I’d lay down and die?
No, not I, I will survive
Long as I know how to love, I know I’ll stay alive
I’ve got my life to live, and all my love to give
And I will survive
I, I will survive
Go on, go, walk out the door
Turn around now
You’re not welcome anymore
You’re the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye
Think I’d crumble?
You think I’d lay down and die?
No, not I, I will survive
Long as I know how to love
I know I’ll stay alive
I’ve got my life to live
And all my love to give and
I will survive
I, I, I will survive

ELO’s Mr Blue Sky always puts me in a good mood

Judging in a good way🙂
I find it’s typically a memorable personal experience which puts a song on to my “uplift” playlist
Many girls (both young and not so) sing along with that. An enduring one!
Another classic, almost as old, and perhaps a bit cheesy because of overuse, but beautifully produced and it can put a spring in my step:
