With spring finally peeking it\u2019s head, we can\u2019t help but think longingly of the group activities and team building events that would normally be in full swing as we remain quarantined. Since we can\u2019t physically go outside into our communities, we\u2019re bringing the sense of community indoors!<\/p>\n

Here are 5 songs that capture a warm, open and inviting feel, perfect for stories centered around community.<\/p>\n

1. “Lilyana<\/a>” by\u00a0Fever Fever<\/a><\/h2>\n

On this optimistic song, energetic and airy oohs & ahhs kick flutter over a deep, steady bass with big bursts of drums. A floating, atmospheric guitar riff kicks in, building on drums until the encouraging group vocals resume. This instrumental is an epic journey that reaches a comforting end.<\/p>\n

Genres: Ambient, Rock<\/strong><\/p>\n

Much like a locomotion picking up speed, “Train Tracks” begins with simple, repetitive\u00a0piano\u00a0and\u00a0energetic\u00a0drums, the track ramps up around\u00a00:41\u00a0and releases \u00a0a cheery burst of optimistic strings and percussion.

4. “Rainbow Colors<\/a>” by Wonderful<\/a><\/h2>\n

Venturing into the pop world, this song exudes a joyful and positive vibe. A quirky synth melody starts things off, quickly backed by loud, powerful group vocals around 0:22.
