Feel-Good Music and Songs
Written by: Tereza Lysakova
I like lists. Lists of great movies, good rom-coms or chick lit books and for sure, great songs. I sometimes find a useful source of inspiration there, however I often kind of disagree with the selections as these lists tend to be very subjective, depending on the source or the author.
And I often create lists. Lists of my favorite songs on YouTube, lists of ideas for my future blog posts, shopping lists and to-do lists. Concerning the to-do lists, when crossing out the task which is already done, it brings a great sense of accomplishment, right?
That is why I would like to share some of my personal favorite lists. I usually try to keep positive and optimistic mind. However, sometimes, when I feel a bit down or demotivated, I have a great solution. And, it is not a chocolate bar 😊 It's listening to my favorite music. When I hear a nice and positive song, I feel instantly better. Even more ideal combination is the connection of music and some sport activity.
There are plenty of songs which make me feel good. I will not share them all because I most probably don't remember them all. But the following songs has made me recently smile, brought me energy and a good feeling. Some of these are probably not the mainstream or big hits you would hear from the radio. Some songs were the background music of my favorite episodes, some of these are from my beloved singers and some I just found out randomly.
And let me know if any of these also make you smile 😊 or let me know your favorite feel-good songs.
My list of feel-good songs in alphabetical order:
- Cathy Heller - Heart of a Hero
Super positive song with great lyrics. Any other Younger series fan here? 😊 - Glen Hansard - Her Mercy
Glen Hansard is one of my most favorite singers ever. When Glen visits Prague or another city in the Czech Republic, I always try to visit the concert. But I will write a separate piece about my favorite singers, and Glen Hansard in particular, as it would take all the space here in this post. From the plentiful of Glen's songs, I chose Her Mercy for this list as it simply brings such a great and positive feeling. - Gossip - Move in the Right Direction
This song has a very catchy beat and emits positive vibes and feeling. - Jason Mraz - Have It All
A Positive and a beautiful feel-good song with great and meaningful lyrics. - Lost Frequencies ft. James Blunt - Melody
Beautiful voice of James Blunt and Lost Frequencies makes a perfect combination here. - Martin Harich - Rowing across the Ocean
I heard this song by chance from one Czech radio. I really wondered who the singer is, and I thought it would probably be some Irish singer. What a surprise when I found out the singer is a very talented Slovak singer Martin Harich. The song as well as the video are amazing. - Only Son - Magic
Anything can happen, if you really believe. This song is truly magical. I have heard this song during the concert of Regina Spector here in Prague, where Only Son was the guest singer. And I instantly liked it.
- Sea Girls - Damage Done
This song from a British indie band is super catchy. I heard it on the MTV and it really became my favorite feel-good song. - Snow Patrol - Run
This is my all-time classic. I love this song, the feeling, the lyrics and the hope I feel from it. - Taylor Swift - Runaway Car
My favorite song from a brilliant Taylor's album Reputation.
- The Vaccines - I Always Knew
I noticed this song when watching the episodes called New Girl. The song was very catchy and perfectly captured the atmosphere in the episode. And made it to my feel-good songs list. - Wizardz Of Oz - Million Dollar Life
Another gem from the Younger series. The chorus has a super cool beat.
... For sure I will add more songs once they come to my mind.
