Music Monday: Good Life

Good Morning loves!
After a long, wonderful weekend I am rearing and ready to go for the work week! So I wanted to start my day and yours with a bit of upbeat music (I know, against my slow, mellow, calming norm haha) that has been stuck in my head and I have no intention of forcing it out…I’m sure you’ve probably heard it as its been overplayed on the radio, but because I elect not to listen to the radio I am able to keep songs precious to me, rather than annoyed that I hear it repeating 1o times a day. Nonetheless, this song and this band has been on my radar and I have been a great appreciator of their music and this song is a great reminder for us all to live the ‘good life’.

So cheers to Monday, may yours fly by with ease!

Good Life
by OneRepublic

Woke up in London yesterday
Found myself in the city near Piccadilly
Don’t really know how I got here
I got some pictures on my phone

New names and numbers that I don’t know
Address to places like Abbey Road
Day turns to night, night turns to whatever we want
We’re young enough to say

Oh, this has gotta be the good life
This has gotta be the good life
This could really be a good life, good life

I say, “Oh, got this feeling that you can’t fight”
Like this city is on fire tonight
This could really be a good life, a good, good life

To my friends in New York, I say hello
My friends in L.A. they don’t know
Where I’ve been for the past few years or so
Paris to China to Colorado

Sometimes there’s airplanes I can’ t jump out
Sometimes there’s bullshit that don’t work now
We are God of stories, but please tell me
What there is to complain about?

When you’re happy like a fool, let it take you over
When everything is out you gotta take it in

Oh, this has gotta be the good life
This has gotta be the good life
This could really be a good life, good life

I say, oh, got this feeling that you can’t fight
Like this city is on fire tonight
This could really be a good life, a good, good life
Oh, a good, good life, yeah

Hopelessly
I feel like there might be something that I’ll miss
Hopelessly
I feel like the window closes oh so quick

Hopelessly
I’m taking a mental picture of you now
‘Cause hopelessly
The hope is we have so much to feel good about

Oh, this has gotta be the good life
This has gotta be the good life
This could really be a good life, good life

I say, “Oh, got this feeling that you can’t fight”
Like this city is on fire tonight
This could really be a good life, a good, good life
Oh yeah, good, good life, good life, oh, this is

To my friends in New York, I say hello
My friends in L.A. they don’t know
Where I’ve been for the past few years or so
Paris to China to Colorado

Sometimes there’s airplanes I can’ t jump out
Sometimes there’s bullshit that don’t work now
We are God of stories but please tell me
What there is to complain about?
