This guy was more up my street. Sadly he didn't make it to the international scene and died young(ish).

Here's hoping his music gets some international exposure through the good offices of this forum.

I didn't either Aug 13

I didn't either, but that song was a hit in Portugal and stuck in my ear.

I value the unknown artists more:

I think we all have a few pieces of music that immediately lift our spirits.
For me, the first one that comes to mind is Down under by Men at Work, the unofficial Australian national anthem: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XfR9iY5y94s
And yours?


My favorite uplifting song is Whitney Houston's "I Wanna Dance With Somebody." Seriously, pop this on and you all will be dancing in no time...

Those were good times for music, the 80's 🤩

What makes a song uplifting? Oct 24

It seems that uplifting songs tend to be in a major chord (apart from rhythm, pitch and lyrics).

There's a music theory that tries to systematise the emotions people associate with certain chords: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theory_of_musical_equilibration

One striking thing is that love songs are more often in minor than in major chord... 🤔

RIP Paul Di'Anno Oct 24

This used to put me in a good mood as a kid. Always liked him better than Dickinson.
