What is Positive music? It's music that is healthy and life-affirming. It can be healing, inspiring, enlightening or uplifting. It can be funny or soothing. It's music that creates a positive outcome by listening to it.
This kind of music appeals to the millions of people who watch Oprah, who read Self-Help and spiritual books by authors like Wayne Dyer, Deepak Chopra, and Marianne Williamson, who are part of the Lifestyles Of Health And Sustainability (LOHAS) Market, and the millions more from the Environmental and New Thought Movements.
Why $2.99 per song when the trend is 99 cents per download? Because these songs are worth it. They are hand-picked songs that can change your life. That's got to be worth much more than a $4 latte at Starbucks. It's time to transform the "starving artist" into the vital role he or she deserves in society as the troubadours of what's true and real in our lives. It's time to pay for what we truly value.
In 2004, I co-founded the Positive Music Association, a group of musicians from around the world who use music not only to entertain, but as a way to create positive change in people's lives. The new genre of Positive, or Poz, music has emerged from people's desire for more meaningful music, with lyrics that speak to what matters most to them. The Positive Music Group was created to make it easy for people to find and purchase this kind of music.
How can I use the music? This music is great to use when you're going through a transition, be it a change in careers, relationships or lifestyle. Perhaps a loved one has passed on and you want a song to comfort you. Maybe you want music to inspire and motivate you to get off your butt and do something worthwhile.
These songs are often used at personal and professional development workshops, by well-known speakers like Jack Canfield and Neale Donald Walsch, at New Thought churches, at women's retreats, by music therapists and counselors, and by fitness instructors. Use it as a theme song at your next conference. Give this music as gifts to friends, family and colleagues.
This site will surely grow and evolve over time. Plans include adding new categories, songs listed by musical styles (e.g. pop, folk, jazz), lyric sheets, instrumental-only tracks to perform to, and lots more great music. I welcome your suggestions and comments in an effort to make the Positive Music Group the best place on the Internet to buy great Positive music. Feel free to contact me at Scott@PositiveMusicGroup.com.
Enjoy the music!
