I threw out to AI a song challenge. I've had Bob Marley's Three Little Birds stuck in my head for the last day, so I put it to ChatGPT.
"Can you give me five songs that provide optimism along the lines of Bob Marley's Three Little Birds."
1. "Here Comes the Sun" – The Beatles
“It’s been a long, cold, lonely winter… Here comes the sun, and I say it’s all right.”
A classic that gently lifts your spirits and suggests brighter days are always on the horizon.
2. "What a Wonderful World" – Louis Armstrong
“I see trees of green, red roses too…”
A warm, soulful reminder to notice the beauty in everyday life — it’s mellow, hopeful, and deeply comforting.
3. "Don't Worry, Be Happy" – Bobby McFerrin
“In every life we have some trouble, but when you worry you make it double…”
Lighthearted and catchy, this song channels the same easygoing energy as Bob Marley.
4. "Lovely Day" – Bill Withers
“Just one look at you and I know it’s gonna be a lovely day…”
This song's smooth groove and affirming lyrics create a mood of calm confidence and inner peace.
5. "One Day" – Matisyahu
“One day this all will change, treat people the same…”
More modern and slightly more anthemic, but it carries the same hope for peace and reassurance that things will get better.
The last one I've never heard of.
If I was compiling this list, I'd probably go a little edgier and a bit more eighties focused. Songs like:
- Katrina and the Waves Walking on Sunshine
- U2's Beautiful Day
- Madness' One Step Beyond (that just makes me smile)
- Elton John's I'm Still Standing
- Blondie's Atomic (Boxing song - still like working out to Blondie)
- Smashmouth's All Star
- Ben Lee's Catch My Disease
- Talking Head's This Must Be The Place
I have to say, I find AIs taste in music a little pedestrian.
Never to mind, I'm sure I could refine it more.
