I am looking for a beautiful (but not depressing) song. It’s to use as a soundtrack for a presentation. I don’t really like music so thought I’d ask the ladies of Mumsnet.

Hope it’s OK to ask. Thanks.

Depends on the presentation! Lots of beautiful songs are about love which might not suit a professional type of presentation?

Sunshine on Leith - The Proclaimers, not sure if it would fit with your presentation though.

Do you want something upbeat? Fun?

Three Little Birds by Bob Marley and the Wailers

Is this something that will be playing to the general public? Do you need to be concerned about performing rights/royalties/licence?

Thanks

No it’s an internal presentation. It’s about looking after our elders.

A lyrical lovely song is Songbird by Eva Cassidy (very popular with that generation too) One of the lines is: 'I feel that when I'm with you, it's alright, I know it's right' which is fitting for caring for older people.

Another one right for that generation is 'A Little Help from my Friends' by The Beatles
