Let's suggest theme songs for the Harris campaign

Here is mine: Feeling Good

?si=GvXQVdNZDHFdxF-r

Birds flying high, you know how I feel
Sun in the sky, you know how I feel
Breeze driftin' on by, you know how I feel
It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life for me, yeah
It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life for me, ooh
And I'm feeling good
Fish in the sea, you know how I feel
River running free, you know how I feel
Blossom on the tree, you know how I feel
It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life for me
And I'm feeling good
Dragonfly out in the sun you know what I mean, don't you know?
Butterflies all havin' fun, you know what I mean
Sleep in peace when day is done, that's what I mean
And this old world, is a new world
And a bold world for me, yeah-yeah
Stars when you shine, you know how I feel
Scent of the pine, you know how I feel
Oh, freedom is mine
And I know how I feel
It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life for me
I'm feeling good

At the very least, I'd like to see Mavis Staples perform at the convention.

Anything Motown or Chitlin Circuit is usually upbeat and will work.

'....I want one moment in time
When I'm more than I thought I could be
When all of my dreams are a heartbeat away
And the answers are all up to me
Give me one moment in time
When I'm racing with destiny
Then in that one moment of time
I will feel
I will feel eternity....'

Tom Petty's "I Won't Back Down"

I also heard though that she had chosen the Beyonce song "Freedom" and that Beyonce has given her permission to use it.

Maybe they'll play some of these at campaign events in addition to Beyonce's song Freedom.

I can think of at least one grown man who's gonna cry about Kamala.
