Melting songs

There are some songs on my playlist, where the moment they come on, my arms drop to my side and I get this rush of emotion that I cannot quite explain.  It's like the whole world melts around me and I am completely entranced by the song. Does anybody else have those?  If you do, I would love to hear what they are.  These are five of my most mind-melting songs:

Birthdays

Clearly we missed a couple of birthdays on here.  Jeff, Stephani, feel the love.

Recommendation - Zombies!

Are you looking for a happy movie that will make you feel good about the world? Look no further than Warm Bodies. … Really? “Feel good about the world” in a zombie movie? Yes, it’s true. Read on, friends!

Premise: R is a zombie whose monotonous life consists of wandering around an airport with fellow zombies, and occasionally going hunting for food (i.e. living humans). But when he encounters Julie, a human survivor, he notices that he is starting to change, experiencing phenomena that are usually reserved only for humans, not the undead. Is there still hope for this lifeless human-devourer to return to his former self? As Mike would say: “Ba na NA!”

(A quick interjection in the interest of full disclosure. There is some mild language in Warm Bodies. Mild in the sense that the words are not used in a vulgar way or as substance words – nouns, verbs, etc. – but as expletives, much in the same way as you or I would exclaim, “Shoot!”, “Darn!” or “Holy Hannah!” in fear, surprise, or frustration. The difference being, of course, that the characters in this film choose different sounds to express these emotions. But if you are uncomfortable with that, then maybe disregard this recommendation.)

Why I Liked It: Despite the fact that Warm Bodies probably falls into the teen supernatural romance genre, I enjoyed it for its deeper themes (and this is where the “feel good about the world” stuff comes in). It is unapologetically earnest in a culture that eschews earnestness in favor of snark and cynicism, but has just enough humor that it’s not sappy (this is also a good description of Modern Family, which I enjoy for the same reason). It touches on themes of the spectrum of human experience, and at its heart, it’s about the redemptive and transformational power of love. And isn’t that really what life itself is all about?
