Feeling Good

Feeling 'buked and scorned? Need a little goose to get yourself loose? Care to turn up the happy on an already fine day? Well, look no further than Feeling Good, our set of sonic smiles designed to engage your ears and endorphins. It's easy to get off on the good foot with U2's rock forecast "Beautiful Day," then elevate your outlook with the mile-high hip-hop of Kanye West & Lupe Fiasco's "Touch the Sky." And if a dark cloud passes over, let the summer-soaked "Good Vibrations" of the Beach Boys get you through the rain, and Willie Nelson will be right there waiting with the beloved Muppets heart-warmer "The Rainbow Connection."

More musical mood elevators await, in Next Steps.

From wine-drinking bullfrogs to the fishes in the deep blue sea, just about everyone is Feeling Good in Three Dog Night's classic-rock pep pill "Joy to the World." And that's the idea: We just want you to be happy, like the love-drunk country lass of Martina McBride's "Happy Girl," or the cool-cat high achiever of Smash Mouth's "All Star." If the hand claps and heart-and-soul piano of Herman's Hermits' "I'm Into Something Good" don't lift your spirits, don't despair — we've got everything from Gwen Stefani's dance-pop vacay "The Sweet Escape (feat. Akon)" to Dire Straits' party-rock jump-starter "Walk of Life" to get you where you want to be.

Don't let the feeling end — hit Deep Cuts for more!

Colbie Caillat is feeling good from her toes to her crinkled nose on "Bubbly," while the Blackbyrds are getting straight to the tickled-pink point with some funky soul "Happy Music." Chumbawamba gets knocked down, but you know they get back up again with an alt-rock "Tubthumping" boost. And while David Cook sounds like he just won a huge, nationwide contest or something on the big-hearted ballad "The Time of My Life," Corinne Bailey Rae is content simply to have you all "Put Your Records On" (or downloads, if you will) and mellow out with some fine Feeling Good tunes.

"What a Wonderful World," sings Louis Armstrong, and when we hear the rumble-throated jazz legend get all enthusiastic about skies of blue and trees of green, we just can't help but agree. Fact is, nothing puts a song in your heart like mirth-making music, which is why we've come up with Feeling Good, a long-playing set of virtual uplift designed with happy in mind. So, turn up the volume on Katrina & The Waves and let their bright-eyed power pop get you "Walking On Sunshine." Heed the wise words of Bob Marley, who knows just from listening to the "Three Little Birds" on his doorstep that every little thing gonna be alright. Just go with it as Bobby McFerrin lets loose with the irresistible a cappella corn of "Don't Worry, Be Happy." It's a win-win — you'll be glad you did, and we'll be happy to have helped.
