Uplifting songs?

gracer · Aug 8, 2016

Hmm... There are actually a lot of uplifting songs that I get some inspiration from. I guess my most uplifting song right now is a religious song called "Warrior Is A Child". Other songs on my mind are: Greatest Love of All by Whitney Houston, Through the Rain and Hero by Mariah Carey, Wind Beneath my Wings by Bette Midler, I Believe I Can Fly by R Kelly. There are still a lot more on my list but my mind seems to be blank right now.

Listening to songs that can uplift and inspire can be a good way of helping me relax even after a very stressful day.

I like to listen to a lot of music when I'm down. Sometimes I want music that matches my mood, so I'll listen to something depressing until I find myself crying. Other times I'll listen to some uplifting music. I like to listen to pop music a lot when I'm down. Little Mix is one for example. I also like to listen to Fall Out Boy and Panic at The Disco.

For me, Christian Rock is my go-to music when I am down. It helps me out to listen to music that is religious, but that doesn't focus on the "happy" side of religion. Even devoutly religious people have issues in life and life isn't always good. Bands like Red, Disciple, Ashes Remain, and Skillet help to carry me through. Best song choices for me: Ashes Remain - On My Own, Skillet - Monster, Disciple - Dear X, You don't own me.

When I'm feeling down I always listen to the following songs: Stronger - Kelly Clarkson, Bad Day - Daniel Pewter, Let It Go (From Frozen - The Animation), Fast Car - Tracy Chapman, Heal The World - Michael Jackson, Dream On - Aerosmith. Those are my favorites but since I'm a Christian I also listen to "old" Christian music (the hymns) and if you are a Christian you should try listening to the hymns, I'm sure they'll make you feel better.

I might sound like an idiot but who cares... I listen to Taylor Swift when I'm down. I downloaded her Red album as well as 1989 and I play them in the car before work to get my blood pumping. I also listen to her when I'm alone at home and I feel like dancing and being crazy. Taylor Swift is my guilty pleasure.

I have certain playlists when I need a boost and they usually some old classics or movie theme tunes. I like Frank Sinatra's 'My Way' The Righteous Brothers and 'Unchained Melody' and Bette Midler "Wind beneath my wings' and some classic pop songs such as Bon Jovi "Livin' on a Prayer'. Familiar songs can always give you a lift if not to calm you down.

Great gracer thanks for responding.

I will have a listen to those tonight.

I'm happy to be able to share with you.

I hope they would also somehow inspire you when you're feeling down. These songs also have an empowering ability in them that can uplift a very lowly soul.

Here's a good one. I usually tear up after listening to this one. Tears of revelation. Not the depressing kind that most of you were thinking. But yes, great song. Give it a try.

"Float On" by Modest Mouse never fails to put me in a good mood. The song is just so cheerful! I also think that many rap songs are super uplifting because they give off that feel-good party vibe. The Graduation album by Kanye West makes me feel like I can do just about anything. Queen's also a great band to listen to when I'm feeling down. Even their sad songs amp me up!

I have been suffering from anxiety for over 7 years now and I have found that the more I play around with my playlist on Spotify the more excited I feel to tackle every single day regardless of the amount of activities I have to perform. I'm really liking katy Perry's new song Rise. There are some singers like Enya and lisa Gerrard that half the capacity to uplift my spirit through their voices. It's quite an amazing feeling you should look up now we are free by Lisa Gerrard it's by far my favorite song in the whole world.

I often listen to a lot of music, in fact it's probably the main thing that I turn to when I'm feeling down or stressed and there's nothing better for me than putting my headphones on and shutting the rest of the world out. I have a very varied taste in music and I listen to anything from Hip Hop and Rap such as Eminem, Dr. Dre and 2Pac, all the way through to bands like the Foo Fighters and so depending on what kind of mood I'm in, I can listen to just about anything and it will tend to cheer me up. for a person to be uplifted by a song, doesn't always mean that the song itself as to be uplifting. It's just the way that a particular song makes you feel that's important more than anything, no matter what specific genre it's classed as.

This is my go to song to. I find this song really empowers me. I could listen to it over and over again and never get tired of it. It is so inspiring and such a feel good song for me. I also tear up every time I listen to this song but it makes me feel good. They are good tears. I would highly recommend this song to anybody who is looking to be uplifted. It is great! Actually I am going to listen to it now. I am here at work and I think that it is exactly what I need for the kind of day that i am having.

Nothing to feel embarassed by! I love a few of her songs as well.

My go-to band would be The Lighthouse Family - Ocean Drive, Lifted: they've got a load of sweet, soft, upbeat songs. They were pretty big in the UK in the early 00s I think, I don't know if they're well known any more. Morcheeba's Rome Wasn't Built in a Day is similar for me, nice relaxing songs that take me back to my childhood.

When I'm down, there is nothing that lifts me up than Broadway Musical tunes. I believe stage is place when you can be more than what you even believe, so it transports me into a situation where I'd rather be. Lately, my favorite are the tunes of Legally Blond the Musical. It´s such a fun show, about being yourself!

Also, my 90´s nostalgia is kicking, so I´ve been particularly happy the days I´ve heard some old Britney or N´Sync tune. I cannot get them out of my head tho.

Sometimes I pick music that suits my current mood but if I am down and really need to give myself a boost, I go with things that make me smile - either because the video is amusing or the song itself is funny/happy. Some of my favorites: Jonathan Coulton (especially "I feel fantastic" the video is great and the song is really fast-paced.), Garfunkel and Oates, Taryn Southern, "You are a pirate" by Alestorm, Merry Wives of Windsor, and "Good Bondage" by Natural Wood (the song just makes me smile). My music tastes are...somewhat eclectic.

Disciple - "Dear X, You Don't Own Me" is one that I love to listen to as well! It's a great song for making me feel better, especially given that the music has quite an upbeat sound to it.

Some songs that I like to listen to that I find more inspirational and uplifting more because of the fast beat of the song are:

Pvris - "Fire"

Rise Against - "Kotov Syndrome"

Finger Eleven - "Paralyzer"

And if you're not bothered by if it's all in English or not, I also quite like One OK Rock's "Clock Strikes". It's partly in Japanese though.

Greaco · Aug 16, 2016

For me it's anything very pop-y or catchy, Taylor Swift, Kesha, something with a fun beat I can focus on and get up and dance to. Or fun upbeat remixes and mashups, I listened to one (you can probably search on youtube) called "Taylor Swifts perfect Fight song" which mixed some Pink and Ellie Goulding with a few others really well. For me it comes down to the distraction, If it's really a rough time I tend to hyper focus on other tasks, if it's not work maybe it's looking up new music and remixes, trying to find my next jam for the week, any little pick me up really.

I listen to Bruce Springsteen. Even when his songs are about sad times, there is always an aspect of hope.
