SONGS THAT MAKE ME HAPPY

There is nothing like music to change your mood.  Music makes you scream, shout and dance!  Music is inspiring and can change your mood thereby changing your health.  Moving and dancing to music gets the blood flowing and helps to reduce fat – possibly creating a physical change.  It can also be calming and thought-provoking providing bringing balance to your emotional state.

Here is a list of songs that make I love singing  aloud to and make me really happy (in no particular order):

LOVE IS EVERYTHING – THANK YOU LADY KIER!

Here is a classic vibe from the amazing and talented dance trio – Deee-Lite from 1992.  The song is hauntingly beautiful and ahead of the game – after 20 years it still is relevant and ‘chillout’ before chill was cool.  Deee-Lite released 3 studion albums in the 90’s – The fabulouslness of World Clique (1990), Infinity Within (1992) and Dewdrops in the Garden (1994).  Dewdrops was completely ground-breaking and has completely stood the test of time (along with their other 2 releases).  Each time I revisit the music of Deee-Lite and the fantastic vocal talents of Lady Kier, I keep asking myself:  “what happened to the good old days of dance music, real dance music – not what the pop artists of today are calling it.  Where artists had a message – whether it was social or politically and injected their message with a beat, a postive vibe and made it fun?”  Deee-Lite was pivotal in infusing their political and social message into their extra funky and housey vibes. 

Lady Kier continues to tour and belts out Deee-Lites past hits and continues to inspire us with her own original and current hits “Bullet Proof” being her latest and absolutely fantastic house vibe.  I look forward to seeing Lady Kier in the future doing both gigs as performer and dj (hopefully she joins us in Toronto again for Gay Pride 2013 – she was fantastic last year!)

In the meantime – enjoy this classic vibe and escape to a time of innocence love and where ‘real’ dance music ruled!

LOVE IS EVERYTHING

I woke in the middle of the night
Just to see how you look when you’re sleeping
I don’t need a conversation
I just want to feel your vibration
I know your dreaming
And I hope it’s about me

Real…
Sometimes you talk too much
No words only melodies
And there’s nothing else to say
Nothing else to say
The words just get in the way
I’ve got to find our melody

Bring it back to me
Bring it back to me
Cause I know that you can feel it when it’s real
There’s a smile on your face
And it reminds me
How much I like my place
Right next to you

Real…
Follow your dreams
No matter how far they seem
Searching for the reason
The mystery
We can only dream
