Feel Good Music List

Somero today. Minus seven degrees. Wind. And worst of all....MORE snow. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

You can deal with snow in November because it's the start of winter and it's pretty. Snow in December is fine because it's Christmas. You can't escape snow in January because it's still the middle of winter so that's ok. Snow in February means skiing competitions and enjoying winter sports so we can forgive it.

Good music makes you feel like this...
But snow in March is NOT ok. Snow in March means that this is the fifth month of it. And just as we get our hopes up and it starts melting and falling off the rooves then it starts all over again. That is not ok. It is too much snow and it is time to stop.

So. We need some music to being some warmth to this never-ending winter. My lovely friend Eve Mantu posted today on Facebook that she was listening to Abba to make her feel better, and I would love to hear your suggestions for other music you play when you need some inspiration, or you want to simply forget the weather outside.

My current feelgood favourite is "Yo Vengo de Cuba" (Salsa version) By FClan Band.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lMAk3HgjjvE

So tell me, what's yours? Let's create a feelgood music list to fight the winter blues away....

Saskia! You stole my song! xD

Just gotta say that you're better prepare yourself for at least one month more, because it's not unusual that there's still snow on Easter and April... It's gonna take a while. Snow is okay, I just wish it wasn't all slushy and slippery!

Anyway, Moondance by Nightwish always cheers me up and makes me smile! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7BJxZd5JUOE

Snowstorm in March is very normal. One of the best things duoring march are sunny days and cold nights.
It is getting warmer and top layer of snow melts at day time and forzen at nights. After some days there is skier or even walker supporting snow blanket.
One do not need ski tracks or paths, but can walk or ski where ever one wants on top of snow. What a feeling of freedom!!
