As I posited yesterday (well, the day before, as I was busy last night so this is a day late), when I'm happy and when I'm sad I probably listen to the same sort of stuff. Either maintaining the good mood or trying to get back to it.
Most of the things I get sad about are fairly #middleclassproblems. My well-paid job is not 100% exciting. The bus back home to my nice house is full. I've run out of wheat beer. That sort of thing. This is a song which does a great job of cheerily reminding you that your lot is much better than many people's, without being patronising. I can think of quite a few people who probably need to read the lyrics once in a while ...
It's also a belter of a tune. 'Generator', by The Holloways:
And all the better that I'm posting this on an absolutely glorious day in Oxford, where the weather is perfect, the birds are singing and I've just had an ice-cream. Sad? Nah.
