"The good life"

What are the best songs (and especially song lyrics) about how to live a good life? Art, work, love, luck - the meaning of life?

"Try what you saw, and try what you knew
It was never always true
Your life’s work teasing you
Like a statue: so dignified, so blind"
weather station, "life's work"

i can't really think of any but thanks for reminding me to listen to weather station

pretty good life/art advice in the jimmy eat world single that came out this year, even though it's technically about relationships:

"It's gonna feel so hard
Until you want the work more than the reward
Until you stop asking "Oh, what is it all for?"
Do you want the work more than the reward?"

If I had an orchard, I'd work till I'm raw
If I had an orchard, I'd work till I'm sore
And you would wait tables and soon run the store
Gold hair in the sunlight, my light in the dawn
If I had an orchard, I'd work till I'm sore
If I had an orchard, I'd work till I'm sore
Someday I'll be like the man on the screen
