Hi.

I'd rather not go into too much detail but I'd be very grateful if some of you could give some thought to the songs /tracks that cheer you up or feel alive .

I'm thinking melody-wise not wordy songs , words are irrelevant in this instance .

For starters I will go with - At the Top of the World by Imagine Dragons ...

Flatline - MKS

Walking on Sunshine - Katrina and the Waves

Break These Chains - Clare Maguire
Run Free - Rebecca Ferguson

These always make me feel happy I dont know why

One Way of Life - Levellers

Moving On Up-M People
I Wanna Dance With Somebody- Whitney Houston
Shake You Up- Leona Lewis

Generals and Majors - XTC. It's the guitar riffs and the general bounciness of it that do it for me more than anything.

We're the Young - McFly
Star Girl - McFly
5 Colours in her Hair - McFly

I don't really have many happy and uplifting songs.

However, this music video starts out sad, but you can't help but be smiling and laughing by the end of it:

Bibio - À tout à l'heure

Not much of a contribution, but you already had my answer OP I just went through a breakup and On Top Of The World picks me right up again. It's amazing!

Also the beat of this song makes me happy, even though the words say a different story http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OUdOG5IWBE0

Radiohead - Exit Music.

My personal favourites:

Looking Up - Paramore
Still Into You - Paramore
This Charming Man - The Smiths
Friday I'm In Love - The Cure
Supersonic - Oasis
Cigarettes & Alcohol - Oasis
If It Makes You Happy - Sheryl Crow


I've been listening to McFly for the first time in ages lately. We're The Young is a great song.

'The Boiler' by The Specials is a really cheery track.
It's chilled and perfect for Summer.

I don't know if its supposed to be uplifting but 'Through The Rain' and 'Cant Take That Away' by Mariah Carey

Florence + The Machine- Shake It Out
Katy Perry- Teenage Dream
Ellie Goulding- Anything Could Happen

Thanks guys , keep them coming PLEASE !

Remember , nothing tomdomwith the words of meaning of songs , just the tracks that get you in a great mood .

Boogie Wonderland is another of my fave "uplifting " songs ...

At the moment, the Robin Thicke feat. Pharrell song, whenever it comes on, I can't help but start to jig about.
