Music helps lift up our spirits on when the world is crashing down on us. It reminds us we’re not alone and speaks to our souls. Warning: don’t listen to depressing music if you’re upset. Listen to these uplifting songs instead when you’re feeling blue.
1) “So don’t be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors are beautiful
Like a rainbow.
Show me a smile then
Don’t be unhappy, can’t remember
When I last saw you laughing
If this world makes you crazy
And you’ve taken all you can bear
You call me up
Because you know I’ll be there”
True Colors – Anne Kendrick & Justin Timberlake
2) “It’s time to get the chains out
Is your tongue tied up?
‘Cause this is my ground
And I’m dangerous
And you can get out
But it’s all about me tonight
So you say I’m complicated
That I must be outta my mind
But you had me underrated
Rated, rated
What’s wrong with being, what’s wrong with being
What’s wrong with being confident?”
3) “Like the air you can
Rise from the rubble with your mind, you can hover
You can rise like the tide, like the heat it in the summer
Yes, I know there are those who will wanna bring you down
But you can rise with your mind and make your higher power proud
You can rise
Like the air you can
Rise”
4) “See the line where the sky meets the sea? It calls me
And no one knows, how far it goes
If the wind in my sail on the sea stays behind me
One day I’ll know, if I go there’s just no telling how far I’ll go”
How far I’ll go – Moana (Auli’i Cravalho)
5) “There’s always gonna be another mountain
I’m always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be an uphill battle
Sometimes I’m gonna have to lose
Ain’t about how fast I get there
Ain’t about what’s waiting on the other side
It’s the climb
Keep on moving
Keep climbing
Keep the faith baby
It’s all about
It’s all about
The climb
Keep the faith”
6) “When the sun shines, we shine together
Told you I’ll be here forever
Said I’ll always be your friend
Took an oath that I’m a stick it out till the end
Now that it’s raining more than ever
Know that we still have each other
You can stand under my umbrella
You can stand under my umbrella, ella, ella, eh, eh, eh”
7) “Can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky are like shootin’ stars
I could really use a wish right now, wish right now, wish right now
Can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky are like shootin’ stars
I could really use a wish right now, wish right now, wish right now”
Airplanes – B.O.B ft Hayley Williams
8) “When I see your face
There’s not a thing that I would change ’cause you’re amazing
Just the way you are
And when you smile
The whole world stops and stares for a while
‘Cause girl you’re amazing
Just the way you are
Yeah”
Just The Way You Are – Bruno Mars
9) “I’m still getting to the good part
The breaking down
Learning how to write my story
And I’m in the middle of the madness
The live and lose
Finding who I’m gonna be
From the start till the end
I’m still learning the road between
I’m gonna need to borrow patience
A shot of courage for letting go
Rent a little wisdom
Until I can afford my own”
10) “Walking around
My little rain cloud
Hanging over my head
And it ain’t coming down
Where do I go?
Gimme some sort of sign
You hit me with lightning!
Maybe I’ll come alive”
