Soundtrack of Your Life Entry #19 Keep Your Head Up

Day 19 of "The Soundtrack of Your Life"  challenge.

Our next song up is...

Keep Your Head Up by Andy Grammer

This is a really feel good song. I find myself listening to it a lot. I think what I really love about it is the encouraging lyrics. In a similar fashion to my Day four song ("S.O.Y.L. Entry #4 There's Nothing Holding Me Back" ) it reassures you telling you that everything will be all right. Your just need to keep your head up high. It is like a less tongue in cheek version of Bobby McFerrin's Don't Worry Be Happy but the song seems a little bit more genuine. It makes a listener feel better after hearing it. Besides the catchy refrain there are some beautiful lyrics in this song. I love this verse:

"The glow that the sun gives
Right around sunset
Helps me realize
This is just a journey
Drop your worries
You are going to turn out fine
Oh you'll turn out fine..."

It paints a powerful visual image. Added onto that the song has a great beat as well.
