Crossword 361: Odes

August 8, 2026 David Bywaters

Sophie Anderson, The Song


I met a woman on the street the other day, wearing sunglasses and a silly hairdo, and a blue-and-orange striped t-shirt, and pushing a stroller with dog in it, and she asked me why I always had to be so negative about everything.  And I couldn’t think of an answer.  Why indeed?  It’s time to stop complaining, to accentuate the positive, to brighten the corner where I am, to look for the silver lining and try to find the sunny side of life.  Up, up with people!  Everything is beautiful, in its own way!  So today’s puzzle features more than a dozen songs of praise, or anyway their titles—you can easily imagine the rest.
