经典歌曲：Dido - Thank You （感谢生活，笑对人生）
有时候，人会觉得一切都完了，阳光不再灿烂，绿树不再青葱，花儿不再美丽，歌声不再悦耳，顿觉我生何趣，万念俱灰。这时候，人最迫切需要的是一种单独的信念，即---不要紧，没关系，只当生活刚刚开始，不回头，朝前望，一切都还来得及。欣赏这首MV，看如何在挫折何失败面前仍然微笑生活。
Dido - Thank You
my tea's gone cold,
i'm wondering why i ① got out of bed at all
the morning rain ② clouds up my window
and i can't see at all
and even if i could it'd all be grey,
but your picture on my wall
it ③ reminds me that it's not so bad
it's not so bad
i drank too much last night,
got bills to pay
my head just feels ④ in pain
i missed the bus and there'll be hell today
i'm late for work again
and even if i'm there,
they'll all imply that i might not last the day
and then you call me and it's not so bad
it's not so bad and
i want to thank you
for giving me the best day of my life
oh just to be with you
is having the best day of my life
push the door,
i'm home at last
and i'm ⑤ soaking through and through
then you handed me a towel
and all i see is you
and even if my house⑥ falls down now
i wouldn't have a clue
because you're near me and
i want to thank you
for giving me the best day of my life
oh just to be with you
is having the best day of my life
