I know I am not the only person who from time to time feels despondent from the madness that seems all around us. Sometimes the world feels like a runaway train and I feel helpless to change the course. Suddenly this wonderful song came into my head and I remembered that we can always sing something. Small things can make all the difference sometimes. 
This isn't a delusional and overtly cheery song about forcing blind and toxic optimism. No one understands comedy more than someone who understands pain and Charlie Chaplin knew both in equal measure. It’s really about surviving in the face of adversity and, as hard as it is, to keep seeing the best in others and in ourselves.
