My All-Time Favorite Underrated Song!

Me Like Good Music - Source for Underrated Indie and Non-Mainstream Music Like most, I made many resolutions last year. Some of them I kept, many I didn’t. This year, I’m going at it again…making a plan and doing my best to achieve it. However, this time I’ll try to stick to the K.I.S.S. method. You know…KEEP IT SIMPLE, STUPID. Each week, I’ll take a moment where I ask myself three questions: (1) What did I do to improve my life? (2) What did I do to improve my community? (3) What did I do to improve the world? As time passes, I intend to have those moments more frequently. To start, I’ll continue my efforts from last year: (1) for myself, continuing my “healthy living” efforts (may even run another marathon); (2) for my community, more volunteering; and (3) for the world, increasing my “smaller footprint” efforts -- REDUCE, REUSE, RECYCLE!

As for you, my goal in 2010 is to continue to bring you GOOD MUSIC because ME LIKE it. Of course, that will involve introductions to more and more unfamiliar good music … new, old, international, bizarre, unsigned, whatever. In 2010, we’re going to try it all.

How does this introspective moment connect to my favorite underrated song of all time? I have no idea but follow me anyway. I promise it won’t hurt. It’s probably because music has always been my mood-altering drug of choice. And no other song takes me to a “calm place” like this one. It put me in a beautiful state the first time I heard it and continues to have a soothing effect on me each I hear it. You may be surprised that my all-time favorite is from a superstar group. I guess it just proves you don’t have to be indie to make good music.

So, I’m returning to it today to jumpstart my reflective efforts. So while you listen, close your eyes and think about your planned contributions for 2010. Or ignore me completely and just enjoy the video for the song. Either way, here’s to a year filled with good music. HAPPY 2010 EVERYONE!
