AC-CENT-TCHU-ATE THE POSITIVE

Can music change our outlook, mood, & have an influence on our actions?  I think so. I frequently use music to help lift my spirit & encourage me.  Sometimes music can really express what I am feeling or experiencing.  I really love all kinds of music.

When I hear music I not only focus on the sound, but also the words. Last year, I heard a catchy tune on an office radio.  It really had me kinda beep-bopping to the catchy sound. When I could not really hear what they were singing about, I looked up the lyrics.  I was shocked!!  "Pumped Up Kicks" by Foster the People

I don't know what the motive behind writing or singing a song like this.  With all the violence in the media these days, I wonder if this is the kind of music I want to listen to.

I like this one better!  "Accentuate the Positive"  by The Andrews Sisters & Bing Crosby
