I just started listening to these songs and I gotta say, **Move On Up** by Curtis Mayfield is giving me all the feels lol 😭... like, I totally relate to that message right now. And omg, I had no idea **Solsbury Hill** was about leaving a toxic relationship 🤯... I'm definitely gonna have this song on repeat while I'm cleaning out my closet (like literally). Also, can someone explain to me what's the deal with **Public Image Limited** and John Lydon? like, why did he leave his own band 😂...
 
I'm totally stoked to see these amazing tunes making the list! 🎵 I mean, who doesn't love an uplifting anthem like Curtis Mayfield's "Move On Up" or Fleetwood Mac's "Don't Stop"? 💖 Those songs are like a breath of fresh air, reminding us that it's never too late to start again. And can we talk about Peter Gabriel's "Solsbury Hill"? 🌳 That song is like the ultimate breakup banger – but in a good way! 😂 It's all about embracing change and finding your inner peace.

I also love how these songs showcase different genres and eras, from disco to post-punk. It just goes to show that music has always been about new beginnings and pushing boundaries. 💥 And let's not forget the iconic "Here Comes the Sun" – what a masterpiece! 🌞 The way George Harrison's guitar work comes in at the end is like the ultimate symbol of hope and renewal.

It's totally inspiring to see these songs making the list, especially during times when we need a little pick-me-up. So let's get dancing, singing along, and embracing those new beginnings! 💃🏽💖
 
🎶 I think it's kinda cool how these songs can be like a soundtrack for people going through changes in their lives, you know? Like, Curtis Mayfield's "Move On Up" is all about bettering yourself, which is so inspiring... 🌟 And I love how David Bowie's "A New Career in a New Town" marks a new beginning for him, even if it was just musically. It's like, music can be this powerful tool to help us navigate life's transitions.

And have you noticed how some of these songs are super empowering? Like Gloria Gaynor's "I Will Survive" is iconic because it's all about overcoming heartbreak and coming out stronger on the other side. 🙌 It's amazing how music can bring people together and offer a sense of hope and renewal.

But what I think I like most about this list is that it's so diverse - you've got disco, rock, pop, soul... each song brings its own unique energy to the table! 😊
 
You know I was thinkin' about my own life when I heard this list... it got me thotful about all the times I had to start over 🤔. Like when I lost my job and had to find a new one, or when I went through a breakup and had to learn how to be single again. It's scary, but also kinda liberatin'. These songs remind us that we're not stuck, we can always move forward and try somethin' new. And some of 'em are just so darn uplifting, like "I Will Survive" - that one still gets me pumped up! 🎉
 
Ugh, can't believe they're still pushing Spotify's Discover Weekly playlist 🤯. Every year it's just the same thing - 10 overplayed tracks that I already knew about 😒. And why do they always have to include that one song by some obscure artist? Like, who even remembers Public Image Limited? 🙄

And don't even get me started on how they picked these songs. "Feeling Good" is a classic, but it's not exactly a new beginning for Nina Simone's career - she was already established as a jazz legend when that song came out! 😂 I mean, can't they choose some actual new music? 🎶
 
🎵 I love how these songs span different genres and eras! You know what's wild? Like, have you ever noticed how many of these songs were written by women? 🙌 Nina Simone, Gloria Gaynor, Diana Ross... they're all total legends in their own right. And can we talk about Christine McVie's songwriting skills for a sec? "Don't Stop" is such an iconic anthem and it's so cool that she wrote it for her husband after they got divorced.

But what I think is really interesting is how many of these songs are about overcoming adversity or finding confidence. Like, Curtis Mayfield's "Move On Up" is all about striving to be better, and Gloria Gaynor's "I Will Survive" is like the ultimate anthem for anyone who's ever felt empowered to move on from a tough situation.

And, of course, we can't forget The Beatles' "Here Comes the Sun". It's like, this song just makes you want to bask in all the sunshine and positivity. All in all, I think these songs are total gems and they definitely deserve their spot as some of the most memorable new beginnings in music history 🎶
 
OMG 🤩 these tracks are like the ultimate mood boosters for when you're feeling stuck or wanting to change up your life! You know what's crazy? How each song is still so relevant even though it came out decades ago - just listen to "I Will Survive" and you'll be screaming along with Gloria Gaynor in no time 💃. I love how they've got a mix of genres too, like that awesome post-punk vibe from Public Image Limited 🤘. And can we talk about the emotional depth of Peter Gabriel's "Solsbury Hill"? It's like he's singing directly to your soul 🌈.
