good music on youtube

Some girl in the bin was always singing one song or another. She was trying to remember a song and I don't know if it was this one, but it's what she put me in mind of.

I remember clearly listening to it/singing along with my grandma. Maybe she had the radio on or maybe she had the record and played it on her big old console stereo. (I would've been about 8 years old, and we visited grandma a lot)

When I finally remembered sort of how the song went, I couldn't come up with who sang it. When I got home I googled it. And wow! I remember it so well now. Hurricane Smith was Norman Smith, who was an engineer then producer for EMI records for the Beatles.

It was cool to hear it again...one of those songs you never hear anymore so it was fun to rediscover it in such an odd way. Yeah, it's very 1972, but I love it.

So.

Watched "Flight" last night. You know it's amazing what music can do. It can take you higher than you imagined was possible, for a piece of music, and, it can dump you lower than a snake's belly.

For three days, I've been in the foulest funk that I can function in. Just ill, pissed off and everything/everybody seemed to make everything worse.

The first appearance of this song in the movie (if you've seen it, you know what I mean) found me as pissed off as I've been for this particular period of shittiness, and by the time the scene was over I was singing along, verily dancing in my chair.

And I was smiling. I woke up at 6:30 this a.m., fresh as a daisy, feeling good for the first time this week...

...And I was singing "Feelin Alright" by Joe Cocker.
