Uplifting Songs

Well, one song that both uplifts and empowers me is "Uprising" by Muse. Love the band, love the song. They're very influential once you begin to understand what a majority of their songs are really about. Seriously, if anyone ever feels like they're in a defeated state, give one of Muse's songs a listen, e.g. Uprising:

Whenever I'm feeling down, I go sit in the car with my awesome subwoofers, crank the bass level up, and play Mombasa by Hans Zimmer. Every beat on the drums feels invigorating, and I leave about three minutes later feeling like I'm ready to tackle any challenge in my way.

Technically, this isn't a "song" per se, but it is a piece of music that is just so uplifting

This song is one of the most motivating that I listen to. Listening to any music helps me calm down and relax.

Usually, listening to music tracks I've had before that I particularly enjoy (i.e. those typically very high on my favorites list) will help to boost my mood when necessary. I do this because usually a negative mood is caused by pent-up frustration, and listening to a song helps me vent it by 'rocking out'.

I don't really have a list as my personal playlist is almost at 400 tracks, but of those, on average about 10% (so, 40) have the potential to dispel a rotten disposition, and half of those are near certain to do so.

@[member="DracoFeathers"] i love that movie omggggggg

Though the lyrics aren't exactly uplifting, one of the songs I listen to to cheer myself up is Riptide by Vance Joy.

I also listen to Sail by AWOLNATION.

 

My favorite inspirational song is Backbone by Gojira. The lyrics motivate me to get back up and do what I'm doing because I will overcome this obstacle.

"Inexhaustible: the strength of fire is swirling through me!
Spine like a beam of light, what mortal could ever break this force?
Unconstrained, I see, at last, my backbone straighten.
Thy serpent made of bones finally arising from the ground awakened!
Put both feet on the ground now, go!"

Whenever I go running, I re-start my playlist on this song when I get back after my first breather.
