Songs That Raise Your Spirits

[flowrchild]

Are there any songs that can brighten your mood no matter how depressed or angry you are feeling?

For some reason, whenever I hear the song Learn To Fly by the Foo Fighters, I instantly get into a great mood.

Bizarre phenomenon, I know.

What are yours?

Peaches, by The Presidents of the United States of America

Incredibly silly song, but always brightens my mood.

Downeaster Alexa by Billy Joel
Johnny Jump Up by Gaelic Storm
Bad Bad Leroy Brown by Jim Croce
Grandma's Feather Bed by John Denver
Almost anything by Charlie Daniel's Band.

Almost any fast traditional Irish music with a violin.

"It was nine feet high, six feet wide, soft as a downy chick..."

great song! I loved this one growing up. My brother and I always laughed at the part where he mumbles about the cow down the road. :)
