tunes to get you through the bad news

[FiveInTheBed]

I'm gonna post this here, and in the news/current affairs section...

lyrics by one of my favs - Jack Johnson, is so simple and soothing that it can make the world a better place just for a minute or two....I also crank up Newton Faulkners, "people should smile more."

Would love to hear others comments, or ideas for dealing with the confusion and heartache that the news brings into our lives on a daily basis? xx

Jack Johnson The News lyrics

A billion people died on the news tonight
But not so many cried at the terrible sight
Well mama said
It's just make believe
You can't believe everything you see
So baby close your eyes to the lullabies
On the news tonight
Who's the one to decide that it would be alright
To put the music behind the news tonight
Well mama said
You can't believe everything you hear
The diagetic world is so unclear
So baby close your ears
On the news tonight
On the news tonight
The unobtrusive tones on the news tonight
And mama said
Mmm
Why don't the newscasters cry when they read about people who die
At least they could be decent enough to put just a tear in their eyes
Mama said
It's just make believe
You cant believe everything you see
So baby close your eyes to the lullabies
On the news tonight

Just about any song by Ben Lee would be good. Can't help but feel happy hearing his music.
