Royal Song of the Day: Interactive Version

Today, Susanna, Duchess of Peace, needed to hear one of those songs that proclaims, “It’s alright”. So, The Royal Song of the Day is “Revolution” by the Beatles. Not simply for the thought of a nonviolent shift in the universe, though, also for the refrain, “You know it’s gonna be alright”.

Can you think of a comfort song? Please send us an e-mail, or put in the comments, your favorite song that expresses the sentiment “Everything’s going to be alright”. We will choose one or more for future Royal Songs of the Day.

Duchess Susanna had it in her mind that there are a whole bunch of songs that chant “It’s gonna be alright”. Though, on contemplation, some of the songs she was thinking about actually said it in a different way than with the word “alright”.

So, here are some other songs Duchess Susanna found on an internet/soul search for comfort songs…

Duchess Susanna’s List of Royal Comfort Songs:

“It’s alright” by Kim Wilde. A 2011 video: here.

“…We are the seed of the new breed / we will succeed our time has come / we are the new…it’s alright… it’s alright / it’s alright… it’s really alright…  -Kim Wilde

“It’s Gonna Be Alright” by Gerry & The Pacemakers. 1964 Video: here.

“It’s Alright To Cry”, from Free To Be, performed by Rosey Grier: here

“Rocket Man” by Elton John. A youtube video: here.

The words of comfort in Rocket Man are actually “And I think it’s gonna be a long, long time”. The Duchess used to listen to these words when she was in predicaments such as college, where she needed to suffer through, and see the light at the end of a long tunnel…

  1. You got a friend “Winter Spring Summer or Fall’

    When you’re down and troubled
    and you need a helping hand
    and nothing, whoa nothing is going right.
    Close your eyes and think of me
    and soon I will be there
    to brighten up even your darkest nights.

    You just call out my name,
    and you know wherever I am
    I’ll come running, oh yeah baby
    to see you again.
    Winter, spring, summer, or fall,
    all you have to do is call
    and I’ll be there, yeah, yeah, yeah.
    You’ve got a friend
