A rare mix of literature, wit, history and high adventure, the Aubrey/Maturin novels (better known for "Master and Commander", the first novel and the name of the 2003 movie adaptation) has been by far one of my favourite reading experience and a consistent way to lift my (occasionally) sagging spirits.
This upbeat and catchy britpop song from their 1995 album I Should Cocois one best ode to youth that has ever been composed. Watching the music video, it is hard not to get infected by its rambunctious mirth and energy. This is indeed a musical prescription if you ever need to feel alright !
