Brave & Happy

February 17, 2014 by Emily Hill 8 Comments

I know, I know. I posted a music video just a few days ago, but after my friend Molly shared these two videos with me over the weekend, I had to pass them along ASAP. Yes, I’m familiar with—and LOVE—Sara Bareilles Brave but I’d never seen the video.

It makes me happy.

…
Sara Bareilles — “Brave”

…

And speaking of happy, Pharrell Williams Happy makes me that and then some. I’d never heard this song before (apparently I’ve been living under a rock) but it’s now my new favorite…right up there with the KONGOS Come With Me Now.

…
Pharrell Williams — “Happy”

…

What songs make you feel the happiest?

    You have to spread the word when there are songs that promote JOY!

    Love the Pharrell song! I also love John Legend’s new song “All of Me” and “Counting Stars” by One Republic always get me in a good mood!

      We are huge fans of One Republic. We’ll be going to their concert this summer out our outdoor amphitheater. :)

    So we were out on a walk yesterday, and my 5-year old was dancing and being crazy, and I could only think that I wish that we didn’t lose that as we got older. I love Sara Bareilles but had never seen that video. LOVED it – especially they guy in the library. I think I need to break out in random dance moves in public now. :)

      I think we should act like our carefree children more often (minus the tantrums). ;)
