Some inspirational musical snippets I've been playing non-stop lately. For anyone who's feeling lost, lonely, sad or stressed-out - or if you just need a boost - I promise these beauties will do the trick.

First is Enya's version of How Can I keep From Singing, which I'd never heard. I'm not religious, but this is spiritually uplifting & joyful... makes you want to weep, but in a good way.

Pour some wine, turn it up loud and close your eyes.

Second is this amazing mash-up of Dover Beach by Matthew Arnold (c.1850) with drum & bass & electronic jiggery-pokery, with thanks to Nick Breakell and his soundcloud. (Why don't I have a soundcloud?!)

Again, LISTEN LOUD
