What song makes you feel like you're in love with the world?

The first song that my Mum heard on the radio after I was born. She described it me later as "feeling like she was finally connected to the world", which isn't the kind of sentiment my Mum used often.

"There is wonder in most every thing I see, Not a cloud in the sky, got the sun in my eyes"

Listening to the track always reminds me of how close and connected we are to nature, and how amazing it is. We spend a lot of our time outdoors with my son, and the simple pleasure of walking through a forest, listening to the trees talk in the wind, and letting all the troubles float away, never fails to soothe me.

The world we live in is a magical place if you look at it the right way. Slow down, look up and let the clouds scroll above your head, look down and wait for the myriad indications of life to show themselves. We are just dots on this landscape, and whilst we don't treat it very well, it remains available for us to adore.

How can you NOT love the world?
