Not everybody will be happy these days. The pandemic, loss of beloved ones or your job, not able (allowed) to socialize the way we want… numerous reasons the cause of being unhappy. Personally not a fan of the so called positive psychology, however, music can absolutely Boost Your Soul.
Happiness is a choice
Denying life can be harsh is in my opinion not a healthy way to go through life. We all will have to deal with frustration, anger, grief and other emotions at some point in our life. At the same time, staying too long in such state of mind is not healthy either. There are many ways to Boost Your Soul. As I wrote in my article about that, there are quick mood-boosters and ways to become happier for a longer period of time.
Happiness is a choice and so is the decision of what music you want to listen to. Sometimes, a sad song will be more suitable to you. Other times, an uplifting one will be a good choice. This week, I started a new item, because personally I am done talking and more than ready to start doing. Taking responsibility for my own thoughts which lead to my emotions and subsequently my behavior is something only I can do.
Hence the reason for the choice of music for this Soul Music’s post. Spring arrived, the Sun is shining more frequently, the temperatures are increasing and despite the lockdown (plus other worrisome matters on our world), it’s up to me to choose happiness. Maybe, just like Pharrell, I sound crazy ; -)
Just because I am, doesn’t mean you have to be. How are you? Really?
Happy - Pharrell Williams
Lyrics
Let me tell you now
Here we go
It might seem crazy what I’m about to say
Sunshine she’s here, you can take a break
I’m a hot air balloon that can go to space
With the air, like I don’t care baby by the way (come on)
Because I’m happy
Clap along if you feel like a room without a roof
Because I’m happy
Clap along if you feel like happiness is the truth
Because I’m happy
Clap along if you know what happiness is to you
Because I’m happy
Clap along if you feel like that’s what you wanna do (hey)
Here come bad news talking this and that (yeah)
Well, give me all you got, and don’t hold it back (yeah)
Well, I should probably warn you, you’ll be just fine (yeah)
No offense to you, don’t waste your time
(Here’s why)
Because I’m happy
Clap along if you feel like a room without a roof
Because I’m happy
Clap along if you feel like happiness is the truth
Because I’m happy
Clap along if you know what happiness is to you
Because I’m happy
Clap along if you feel like that’s what you wanna do
Here go
(Happy)
Bring me down
Can’t nothing (happy)
Bring me down
My level’s too high (happy)
To bring me down
To bring me
(Let me tell you now)
Bring me down
Can’t nothing
Bring me down
His level’s too high
To bring me down
To bring me down
Because I’m happy
Clap along if you feel like a room without a roof
Because I’m happy
Clap along if you feel like happiness is the truth
Because I’m happy
Clap along if you know what happiness is to you
Because I’m happy
Clap along if you feel like that’s what you wanna do
Because I’m happy
Clap along if you feel like a room without a roof
Because I’m happy
Clap along if you feel like happiness is the truth
Because I’m happy
Clap along if you know what happiness is to you
Because I’m happy
Clap along if you feel like that’s what you wanna do

Soul Connection
There are many ways to Boost Your Soul and music is a fantastic one. There are a variety of genres you can listen to, even Soul Music is a genre in itself. To me, music is also a way to Connect with your Soul. A tool to help you go through emotions and acknowledge them. Depending on your mood, there will be always a piece of art that goes along with it. What I love most about music is how it can Connect people.

Hi Joyce! Thanks for stopping by and adding your perspectives. Did I tell you, I started to practice Qi-Gong? I found a Shaolin Master here in Germany and he provides free online classes 🙂
Patty, I forget where you are in the world. How close are you to Croatia?
Hi Katherin! I’m in Germany near to the border of The Netherlands. One of my neighbor is from Croatia. I think it’s about a 10 hour drive by car. XxX
That may be too far 🙁 But I’ll be nearby beginning in April 😉
Is that even possible, with the lockdown in Europe? If it is, have fun! XxX
It is possible.
Yes, I read the options on the official site of Croatia. Possible indeed and I assume you only go for necessity reasons 😉
“Necessity” is relative, but we’re taking all precautions to ensure safety of ourselves and others.
what a cheery reminder of a great song!
Thanks da-AL! So happy you are visiting again; missed you! XxX
