Nicki Minaj's Song "Fly" featuring Rihanna is a true Gem. Coming across a song on mainstream hip-hop radio that has the feeling of positive passion that this song has, is a rare find.  

The song glistens in its lyrics.
"We come alive in a time of fear." 
"I am levitation, I represent an entire generation." 

And soars through the chorus. 
"I cam to win, to fight, to conquer, to thrive. I came to win, to survive, to prosper, to rise. To fly." Knowing why you are here, why you were born on this earth and what you came here to do is crucial in these times or great change. This song captures what it is to know your purpose and gives a great motivation to let it fly!

Good Life

I recently heard the song "Good Life" from the band One Republic off of their album Waking Up, while flipping through stations in the car.

It's great to see such a simplistic yet powerful positive message come through the radio. 

I couldn't help but to look up the song and play it over and over again on youtube. The video below is the version I like to play continually. Not the official video as it is too busy for my eyes. Not the 'Live at Walmart' version either, though the lead singer does have a great opening message that I quoted below, his voice does this weird high pitch thing on the word "this" that I can't stand to hear. But the simple fan video does the trick. Enjoy.

 “Everyday when you wake up you get to choose how that day is going to be. It can either be terrible or it can be good. I have a theory that you can decide to make whatever day a good day. And as cheesy as that sounds, I believe it’s true.” – Ryan Tedder, Lead Singer.
