Keep On The Sunny Side by The Carter Family

There’s a dark and a troubled side of life
There’s a bright and a sunny side too
Though we meet with the darkness and strife
The sunny side we also may view

Keep on the sunny side always on the sunny side
Keep on the sunny side of life
It will help us every day it will brighten all our way
If we keep on the sunny side of life

There's More To Life Than This by Björk

Come on, girl
Let’s sneak out of this party
It’s getting boring
There’s more to life than this

It’s still early morning
We could go down to the harbor
And jump between the boats
And see the sun come up

There’s more to life than this

I could nick a boat
And sneak off to this island

I could bring my little ghetto blaster
There’s more to life than this

Luckenbach, Texas (Back to the Basics of Love) by Waylon Jennings

So baby let’s sell your diamond ring
Buy some boots and faded jeans and go away
This coat and tie is choking me
In your high society you cry all day

We’ve been so busy
Keepin’ up with the Jones
Four car garage and we’re still building on
Maybe it’s time we got
Back to the basics of love

Summertime Rolls by Jane's Addiction

Fell into
A sea of grass
And disappeared among
The shady blades...
Children all
Ran over me
Screaming tag!
You are the one!

He trips her as
Her sandals fail
She says stop!
I’m a girl...
Whose fingernails are made
Of mother’s pearl...

Yellow buttercup
Helicopters
Orange buttercat
Chasing after
The crazy bee
Mad about somebody...

Me and my girlfriend
Don’t wear no shoes
Her nose is painted pepper
Sunlight...
She loves me
I mean it’s serious
As serious can be...

She sings a song and
I listen to what it says:
If you want a friend
Feed any animal...
There was so much space
I cut me a piece
With some fine wine
It brought peace to my mind
In the summertime...
And it rolled

Summer.... oh...
Oh.... the summertime rolls

Once A Day by Michael Franti & Spearhead

You never know what the world’s gonna show you,
It ain’t up to you.
You always think it’s gonna happen to another person,
And it’s never ever gonna happen to you.
You got your friends, you got your money,
Got your family, got your honey,
You think you got a million days.
But then life comes along
And it knocks you right down to the ground and that’s why I say,

Everybody oughta hug somebody, at least once a day.
And everybody oughta kiss somebody, at least once a day.
Everybody’s gonna miss somebody, at least once a day.
And everybody gotta love somebody, every day...

Current Carry by Vetiver

How I’m lucky to call you mine
Oh I don’t forget
If I’m quiet I’m only thinking of
Just how good it gets
I think we’re on our way
Finally out to sea
Pulling all away, dream
When doubt starts mending now
Somehow, we’ll still pull through
I trust in us, have faith to hold on
Because I know we’re going to
Have faith put on our way
Finally out to sea
Coasting all away, dream
Don’t worry baby, we can’t go wrong
Feel how the currents come in strong
We’ll really carry overflow
I ain’t saying nothing you don’t know
We must be on our way
Finally out to sea,
Floating all away, free
Finally out to sea,
Waving back to shore, free

Fish And Whistle by John Prine

I been thinking lately about the people I meet
The carwash on the corner and the hole in the street
The way my ankles hurt with shoes on my feet
And I’m wondering if I’m gonna see tomorrow.

Father forgive us for what we must do
You forgive us, we’ll forgive you
We’ll forgive each other till we both turn blue
Then we’ll whistle and go fishing in heaven.
