Speaking of Peanuts - I love this theme song, by the Vince Guaraldi Trio. It's an odd outlier in my music collection.
I love it because it's like an early morning tonic while I'm ironing my clothes and getting ready for the day.
Something about the melody...it's not too heavy when I'm still feeling sleepy, but has a zing to it that gets me motivated and optimistic.
I first heard it when I was a kid, and I liked it then too.
Thought I'd post this one before I start work. I like the song, and the video is startling too.
The guy in the music video - is he having a nervous breakdown? Is it the hallucinations of a dying man? Is he having an Near Death Experience (NDE's are a fascinating and well documented phenomenon. I've read many books about it).
I've recently been listening to the band Poliça (from Minneapolis) quite a bit on Spotify.
Very chilled out tunes. The sound seems almost minimalistic, as does this video of theirs.
