How Music Can Lift Your Spirits: A Morning Experience

A true story from this morning in verse form. Thank you to all the artists mentioned for making me feel better.

Waking up this morning
A bad mood hung about
For everything annoyed me
I was truly wrong side out

I was anxious, I was angry
And frustrated with my mind
What could I do to change things?
What might help me unwind?

I did some music challenges
I just went through the motions
Then the songs began to work
Upon my mood like lotions

It started with Marc Almond
Then Welsh firebrands The Alarm
Then Toni Basil Ringo Starr
Those songs worked like a charm

I rediscovered Karmaa
With her passion and her power
Then I shifted on to Cats in Space
My good mood starts to flower

There's magic in the music
It works upon your mind
It had its usual impact
I had left my mood behind

The next time you are feeling low
And you want an end to gloom
Give music therapy a go
You'll see your good mood bloom
