This week here in Austin, Texas is a festival referred to as
South by Southwest or SXSW for short. It’s
an amazing festival that has an interactive portion with
technology, a film portion with movie and television show premieres, but my
favorite portion is the music section of the festival and the musical artists that
come to town for SXSW. Because of this I’ve
decided to do something a little different with this week’s blog in honor of
the great music that’s here.
Music has always played a huge role in my life, even though
I’m not the most musically talented with an instrument or through singing. But if you know me you’ll know that I’m a
positive person. I tend to see the glass
not half full or half empty, I see it
as all the way full because it has liquid and air in it either way. I’ve been asked before on a few occasions how
I stay so positive, and to be completely honest I’ve never had a really good answer
for that. The most accurate answer would
be a blend of my life experiences and the people in my life have taught me that
every cloud has a silver lining, not that every silver lining has a cloud.
I digressed there for a moment to bring up the point that I believe
another really influential piece to explaining this puzzle of positivity for me
is music. I enjoy a very wide variety of
music, and whether it’s in my car, in my apartment, or anywhere else, I am
constantly listening to music. There’s
a song for almost every emotion, and I find that listening to great music can
make any day a little brighter.
In that regard, and as I’ve stated in honor of the music
portion of SXSW, I’d like to share just a few songs of positivity that you can
enjoy. These are just a few from a very
long list and some artists have more than one song but I had to narrow it down
so that this post didn’t end up being too long.
Since this is an abridged list of positive songs that I like, you might
have some songs or artists that are not on here, but that you would like to add
to the list, and I want you to please feel free to do so in the comment
section. It would be great to see some
other songs or artists I might be unfamiliar with and I can expand my musical
appreciation. This list in no particular order, but please click on the songs and it will link to a YouTube video of the song.
