"it's just a ride, it's just a ride. no need to run, no need to hide.'

i was having one of those days - you know things are just not going right - and i heard this song by jem. it's called "just a ride" and it immediately transformed my mood and outlook.

music has a way of doing that. what songs lift your mood? if you haven't already, put together a list of those songs and play them regularly. tempo and lyrics are equally important when compiling the list. it's not helpful if the songs have a great tempo but the lyrics are about loss and sadness.

here are two songs from my personal playlist (both from the same artist - coincidently):
