In these very uncertain times we are living there is NO doubt we could all use some sunshine. Take the day off and smile. Hey, look around, everything’s better now. And here we are and we’re gettin along fine. For this edition of Feel-Good Friday I share with you a song from one of my all-time favorite musical groups – Queensryche – titled “Doin’ Fine.”
I realize music is SO very personal and anytime I see someone post their most favorite, bestest song on Facebook or wherever 80% of their friends don’t see the post and the other 20% are mostly indifferent to it. Even so, for this edition of Feel-Good Friday I happened to be listening to Spotify on my computer while working and a song by Queensryche titled “Doin’ Fine” began playing. It had been years since I’d heard this song but Queensryche is one of my all-time favorite groups and the lyrics really stood out to me. I realize the risk of the 80:20 issue for posting a song and its lyrics but I’m throwing caution to the wind (ha) and doing it anyway!
Doin’ Fine – Queensryche
Have you noticed The way people seem today?
Look in their eyes, you can feel their uncertainty.
Working hard for what they fear others would think.
Empty hearts are afraid to break away: don’t be afraid.
We could all use a little sunshine
Take the day off : outside.
Hey look around, everything’s better now
And here we are and we’re doin’ fine.
Ya, we’re doin just fine.
If we look inside, breath deep, and count to ten.
We’ll find what we need to see us through
All the way to the end.
We’ll know all the answers
Once we stop this judgment game
And realize deep down we’re all the same.
Ya, we’re the same…
We could all use some sunshine
Take the day off and smile.
Hey look around, everything’s better now
And here we are and we’re gettin along just fine.
Next time we could try a little harder
And quickly put out the fire,
By working out our differences
and Finding truth we can all believe in.
We’re looking at life from a different side.
We’re looking at like from a different side.
And I know
I know we’ll all be fine.
Ya I know
I know all be fine.
All be fine
If we can get to the other side
Then I know, I know
We’ll all be fine
