After a truly awful week, today is a really hard day. It's just one of those days where you don't want to get out of bed. To cheer myself up, I've been listening to the Beautiful People soundtrack. The act of listening to the soundtrack is sort of bittersweet itself because Beautiful People will always have some strange associations for me now. Nonetheless, the soundtrack fits my musical sensibilities perfectly and is mostly peppy and upbeat. Thus, it is good for cheering up.
One of the songs on the soundtrack is Things Can Only Get Better by D:Ream. It was a #1 hit in 1994 and rose to prominence again after being used by Tony Blair and Labour during their 1997 campaigns.
To be honest, I can't make heads or tales of the lyrics, but the chorus is just a belter and it's great to sing along to. Following it on the album are Don't Cry Out Loud and Confide In Me. It's like a three track sequence programmed for specially for a depressed Europop fan. Which I am. So it totally works.
