“Ain’t No Sunshine” – Bill Withers

“You’ve Got a Friend” – Rene Froger

This is one of those songs that is just awesome the first time you hear it but gets better and better each time you play it.

You’ll find it hard to resist singing along to every word.

“I Wonder” – The Gants

You might think that a song about thinking too much is a bad way to go, but you see, this song isn’t really about that kind of thinking at all. It’s more about being a little too laid back and nonchalant when you should be excited and ready for things to get done and to move forward with your life.

It’s a bit of advice for people who are always thinking “what if,” instead of just getting on with things, which can be good because you never know what could happen if you just start living your life.

“Girl, You’ll Be a Woman Soon” – Urge Overkill

This is the kind of song that makes you want to get out some beads and other hippie gear and go crazy. It doesn’t talk about your soul or your spirit or anything like that, just the fact that girls who stay single will eventually start listening to their biological clocks and eagerness for the good things in life. You might find yourself singing along to this one without even realizing it.

“Lucky Man” – Emerson Lake & Palmer

Here’s a song about being humble and telling yourself that when you do something well, it’s just because you’re lucky, for no other reason than dumb luck. It’s a song that’s more about being confident than it is about actually believing in anything at all, but it can do you some good when you want to relax and not stress over things.

---

“Lord of the Thighs” – Aerosmith

Aerosmith has written a song that’s all about being superstitious, which may make her one of the most superstitious artists of all time. It doesn’t have anything to do with any spirit or even any religion, though, just the way that people who get together on purpose can create something special and magical for each other, bringing good luck into their lives for no other reason than the fact that they want it.

“(Wish I Could Fly Like) Superman” – The Kinks

This is a great song about how strange it is that people would believe that some things are true even though they can’t possibly be true. It’s the reason why you can get yourself all worked up and convinced of something, even when you know the truth and you know that it’s probably all just a bunch of superstition and nonsense. This one isn’t likely to change your mind at all, but it’s worth listening to for the way it presents one of the toughest challenges in life: believing in things that you know aren’t true.

Conclusion

It’s hard to be superstitious, especially if you don’t believe in the supernatural, but if you listen to these songs and others like them, you’ll have a much easier time. The best part is that they aren’t just great songs; they are also catchy tunes and fun to sing along with. You’ll be able to lose yourself in the music and forget that you’re scared of things that you can’t even think of a name for. Now that’s something worth listening to!
