When Happiness for Beginners started, my Mom asked me who sang the song that was playing when it began. That song sounded familiar, but I could not place it. I decided just to look at her and say, “I don’t know!”
I didn’t know this song but the song she was talking about was, “Safe and Sound” by Capital Cities. That song came out when I was in the middle of teaching middle school! My kids, loved that song! I think I even posted that song on my blog years ago. It came out as a single in 2011 and on the album I’m 2013.
I was teaching Reading then, so I had smaller class sizes and I paid more attention to pop culture back then. But now, I am homebound, so I don’t have any pop-culture references anymore. But, I just looked up what song was playing in the beginning of Happiness for Beginners:
And since I put that song in here, I’m going to put the Capital Cities song in as well so you can hear the similarity that me and my Mom heard! Great minds think alike!:
