I could do with a playlist of inspirational, motivational, happy, healing, uplifting music right now.

I'll take anything... rap, dance, pop, indie, classical, motown, rock n roll, musical numbers, you name it!

Post yours

Here's some of mine to kick things off:

Hey Jude - The Beatles
Wake Up - The Arcade Fire
Don't Stop Believing - Journey
Fighter - Christina Aguilera
Example - Watch The Sun Come Up
Florence and the Machine - The Dog Days Are Over

Heatwave by Martha and The Vandellas is one of my most uplifting songs ever. Love it so much.

Wake Up Boo by The Boo Radleys
Easy Lover by Phil Collins and Philip Bailey
Learn To Fly by The Foo Fighters
Hey Ya by Outkast

all lift me up immensely.

Yeah you should've stopped at We Are Scientists... was a great list until then I can't think of anything that would motivate me less than SFG!

In response to the thread in general, anything by Mika or the usual shit cheese

Looking up by Paramore
Stolen by Dashboard Confessional

And I agree with the OP about Wake Up by Arcade Fire, although it has been known to make me cry as well

I AM THE ONE AND ONLY!
Nobody I'd rather be.
I AM THE ONE AND ONLY!
You can't take that away from me.

It's impossible not to shout that chorus! God damn, I unashamedly love that song!

Sugar and Spice and Never Too Much - both by Luther Vandross are my happy songs - I can't listen to either of them without smiling.

The Original - I Luv You Baby

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ah_IJ5r1Oa0

N-Trance - Set You Free

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bcf5kzBCdy4

I don't know whether it's because of the songs, the fact I used to listen to them as a teenage clubber or a combination of the both.
