Thought I'd share a song I've had stuck in my head and been listening to a lot lately, since it's also a nice jolt of positive feelings. "Get Up" by Kings Daughters, produced by Brian May (he and his wife Anita both appear in the video).

I feel like I'm the only one who has posted in this thread in a very long time, so maybe nobody is interested but me, so please tell me to stop posting in this one if I'm posting too much.
But anyway, I am Canadian and don't follow Eurovision, and I know I'm late to the party on this song, but lately I've been obsessed with the song "Think About Things" by the Icelandic musician Daði Freyr, ever since I saw a video where someone mentioned it. It's so catchy and fun, I can't get it out of my head. I really like that it's...I don't know if "innocent" is the right word, and "wholesome" is overused on the Internet, but while obviously there's a place for the raunchy and suggestive, I like that this just isn't either of those things, a song anybody can enjoy with lyrics about a dad's love for his daughter.

Missing Eurovision this year! Have you seen Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga on Netflix? I really enjoyed and thought the songs were great!

No, I haven't watched it yet, but I saw that Pierce Brosnan is in it and the movie looks like silly fun! I probably will watch it eventually. I watched the movie Game Night last year and Rachel McAdams is funny in that, so I'm sure she's good in the Eurovision movie, too. I've read that lot of people think Iceland would have won this year, so it's funny that the movie also is about Iceland at Eurovision.
Daði Freyr has actually covered a couple of songs from the movie and there's also a video where he talks about what the lyrics in the song in Icelandic mean.

Oh, I will look up his covers of the songs! Yes, Rachel McAdams is really good! Dan Stevens is standout! I really enjoyed it, it's also "wholesome", and the music is pretty good. I think that most people who like Eurovision would like it, especially the cameos from previous contestants. Just a lovely upbeat treat in the middle of the pandemic.
Edited because I had to go and look up one of my favourite Eurovision songs, so this is what I'm listening to now. Still so good! (Not the Eurovision performance, but I really love this later one).

Pretty good song and good voice! Definitely a power ballad! Her costume is cool, too. And the audience is definitely into the song!

It used to my favourite gym workout song - really uplifting and motivating!
