Song Ideas?

Tue 15 Nov, 2011 9:21 am

Hi there everyone! Hope all well!

For my Creative writing Class, our last assignment is a photo story. I want to do one with my bushwalking photos and need a song that's about getting out there and enjoying life! living life to the fullest, really positive stuff! You know?
Any Ideas would be wonderful!

Thanks Guys,

Molly. :D

Well it's all a matter of personal taste really. I tend to listen to alternative, modern releases. Some suggestions for the Creative Writing Class to enjoy while they watch your excellent slides:

Up temp stuff:
- 'In your light' by Gotye
- 'It's nice to be alive' by Ball Park Music
- 'Set me Free' by Xavier Rudd
- 'Time to Wander' by Gypsy & the Cat
- 'Addicted' by Bliss N Esso (language warning)

Low key / moody stuff:
- 'A Forest' by Nouvelle Vague
- 'The Suburbs' by Mr Little Jeans
- 'Campfire' by Angus & Julia Stone

I sometimes annoy my youngest son by singing this when we occasionally walk together...well, attempting to sing :lol:. I usually save it for the more difficult sections when he is grumbling and I pretend to be doing it easy :wink:.

I had plenty of ideas until I read that you wanted 'positive' music. Unfortunately that rules out 85% of my music :)

We used to sing that with the nuns in primary school...memories
check out the following link, it's the most inspiring thing I've seen for...gawd I don't know. I put it on when I need a smile. The song doesn't have particularly inspiring lyrics, but the music is so 'uplifting' and his smile at the end - wow, you can feel the exhilaration! I can't help but laugh along with him

Check out Samskeyti (or Untitled 3) by Sigur Ros - if I were to use any song for a creative clip using wilderness shots, this is it. In fact any song by Sigur Ros would suit. Also a band called Hammock have some cool dramatic instumental type stuff. For something a bit more lyrical, Natural Disaster or Fitz and the Dizzyspells by Andrew Bird.
