Sometimes, you just need a song that makes you feel hopeful. Sometimes, you just need a song that makes you feel like someone's looking out for you. And sometimes, you just need a song with an intro that sounds like it's straight from the original Super Mario Brothers game for Nintendo 8.
Here you go - The Postal Service's "Brand New Colony".
A tasty lick of this song goes a little something like this:
"I want to take you far from the cynics in this town
and kiss you on the mouth
we'll cut our bodies free from the tethers of this scene,
start a brand new colony
where everything will change
we'll give ourselves new names (identities erased)
the sun will heat the grounds,
under our bare feet in this brand new colony,
everything will change"
