Cheer Up

[FPSHOT]

When you are a bit down, which is, or are, the Harrisong(s) that will always cheer you up, any time of day

For me there are a few which will always turn my mood to the right one again... first I think of George's wise words of Beware Of Darkness.. and then I play one or more of the following;

Blow Away
This Is Love
Heading For The Light
You
That Which I Have Lost
Inside Out (the video)

"Cheer down" actually has the reverse effect on me... I can't help but focuss on the fact that he's dealing with someone who needs to be "cheered up", in the first place.

One that does always works, for me, is "This is love"... apart from the music and the , oh, so positive lyrics...

... at the base of it... there's sooooooooo much "joy" in George's voice on that one !

A bit like Paul on "Getting better", you can actually "hear" George smilling when you play that song...

Anyroad always cheers me up. As does Heading For The Light and This Is Love.

[Harbidge]

'This Song' always makes me smile, especially Eric Idles cameo appearence!

[beatlebangs1964]

Good grief, where do I start?

Any Road
Awaiting on You All
Blow Away
Dark Sweet Lady
Faster (that's a fun song)
Heading for the Light
Hear Me Lord
Here Comes the Sun (100% rate - I've studied this)
If I Needed Someone
It's All Too Much
I Need You
I Want to Tell You
Soft Hearted Hana
Taxman
You Know What to Do

[darkhorse]

Good grief, where do I start?
Hear Me Lord

Forgive me Lord, for all those years that I've ignored you?

I must be sick, I see that song as being very reflexive, but not very uplifting, really. It's one of my faves off ATMP, but I wouldn't put it in the same group as, say, "This Is Love", "Blow Away", "If Not For You", "Crackerbox Palace" or "Soft-Hearted Hana". :smile1:

[beatlebangs1964]

I find it uplifting because it is the voice of one who is coming to God, one who is seeking God. True, it can be interpreted as reflexive and no doubt it is, but there is a powerfully uplifting element in it. Asking for God's help is to me a very empowering thing one can do and acknowledging that need; showing that humility and acknowledging the Lord are things I deeply respect.

That's quite a list :smile1:

[beatlelover45223]

Here Comes The Sun, & If Not For You, always lift my mood, espcially Here Comes!

[Sally]

Devil and the deep blue sea.

[Siobhan]

Blow Away
Miss O'Dell
Here Comes the Sun
I Dig Love
Any Road

Nearly forgot... Got My Mind Set on You

[Paolo Meccano]

I think pretty much everyone's agreed on 'Blow Away' - me included. :smile1:

[darkhorse]

I find it uplifting because it is the voice of one who is coming to God, one who is seeking God.

Ah, I see now, thanks for explaining. :smile1:

[Bexy_Starkey]

I just love 'I Need You'

[Roxy Starkey]

This is Love!!

[Beatlelover]

One song of George's that really cheers me up is Teardrops, from Somewhere In England. That's a really cheerful, happy, bouncy, fun song. It's one of my favorites of George's. Also Blow Away is another and Crackerbox Palace. Plus a lot more

[luvsthebeatles]

Here Comes The Sun, & If Not For You, always lift my mood, espcially Here Comes!
Those two, and Blow Away especially. :smile1:

[bearkat77]

"Blow Away"
"It's All Too Much"
"What Is Life"
"You"

[DizzymissLizzy909]

I've had to think about this one for a while. I admit 'If Not For You' has always made me a little teary instead of cheering me up. It's an incredibly great song, but to me it sounds so sad at the same time.
Some of the songs that put a smile on my face are: "What Is Life", "Anyroad", "Taxman", "Apple Scruffs", and "Blow Away". :smile1:

[Hari's Chick]

Mother Divine cheers me up a lot

[beatlebangs1964]

That's another good choice, Hari's Chick.

I also really love "Love Comes To Everyone" and I find that a very inspiring and optimistic song indeed.

[lennonluvr9]

Wah Wah is a good one that cheers me up! It's just fun!

[beatlebangs1964]

"Here Comes the Sun" is sure to brighten many a day. That one works for me!

[Fluxus]

"I Really Love You" on Gone Troppo. How can you NOT smile?

[Beatle_4]

Here Comes The Sun (Brighter days ahead)
When We Was Fab (Reminds me of a simpler time, carefree, uplifting...just my opinion)

[beatlebangs1964]

I'm in the mood for "Here Comes the Sun."
