We could sure use some of those songs, with words you could sing along with and feel like you were not alone during those times of feeling overwhelmed. Simple songs of encouragement and fairness and peace. Often surrounded by songs of great sadness and those to pump you up to fight the madness.

I like this song. I will check him out when I have time to listen. Thanks.
