Thank you so much @Shaunie

What a wonderful idea Kasa!

For such a long time I have wanted to change up my positivity vibes playlist and they are so helpful to boost your mood when your going through a low kind of day.

Here’s a few, not sure if you have already thought of these:
(sorry about links, I can’t seem to get them to work - hope that’s okay)

Rachel Platten - Fight Song

Andra Day - Rise Up

i know these next few you may think are really babyish but honestly if the music helps it doesn’t really bother me.

Anything Disney related

Demi Lovato - Let it go

I will have a think to see if I can think of any other good ones, these ones scream recovery and motivation at me and really give me that boost I need on some days.

Thank you for this thread Kasa it is amazing!

(((HUGS)))

Lauren

Thank you so much Lauren. I love Let It Go.

Fight Song is like the number 1 song for me. And @Aife loves it too.

Skive

"I Am Defiant" - The Seige [Explicit]

Aoife

Fight song is a great song

When you say positive, do you mean a song that is generally upbeat? The types of songs I listen to are relatable in their lyrics, but they're usually talking about a more negative aspect. The positivity comes from being able to relate to it so much that it gives you goosebumps.

A couple of Examples:
Easier to Run - Linkin Park

It's easier to run
Replacing this pain with something numb
It's so much easier to go
Than face all this pain here all alone
Something has been taken from deep inside of me
A secret I've kept locked away
No one can ever see
Wounds so deep they never show
They never go away
Like moving pictures in my head
For years and years they've played

Wake Up - Black Veil Brides

See it in our eyes
That we were never blind
I will fight for you
Until the day I die
We'll shout it from the tallest building
We won't let them turn away
We'll show them what they've made
We'll be here when their heart stops beating
We, the nation of today
Our hopes that never fade
We'll be here when their heart stops beating

Avalanche - Bring me the Horizon (Shown in signature)

It's like an avalanche
I feel myself go under
Cause the weight of it's like hands around my neck
I never stood a chance
My heart is frozen over
And I feel like I am treading on thin ice
And I'm going under
I need a cure for me cause a square doesn't fit the circle
Give me a remedy cause my head wasn't wired for this world

Falling In Reverse - Not a Vampire

I'm insane
Well, I can feel it in my bones
Coursing through my veins
When did I become so cold?
For goodness akes
Where is my self-control?
If home is where my heart is
Then my heart has lost all hope
Well I'm not a zombie but I feel like one, to-day
Self-induced, comatose, chemical daze
My head is always spinning from this dizzy blurry vision
and my stomach has had enough
I feel like a lady that is pregnant with a baby
Cause I'm always throwing up! (Bleurgh!)

Looking back at all these it might be a nice idea to make a separate playlist for meaningful songs :thinking:

Omg i forgot this one. I love this one is so positive and nice.
Keep your head up - Ben howard
https://youtu.be/ADP65wbBUpc

Also Birdy - keeping your head up
https://youtu.be/m8AXUq5uA0Y

Skive

A lot of positive music I listen to isn't lyric heavy, and more about escapism and the positive emotions it invokes. A couple of guys I know made the following track about this very thing.

Hixxy & Marley - Music Is My First Love

Love ben howard!

i'm not sure whats been suggested so far so if i repeat one then i'm sorry

i listen to a lot of genres so there will be a mix

- Same Love - Macklemore & Ryan Lewis

- Firework - Katy Perry

- Who you are by Jessie J

- Walking On Sunshine - Katrina & The Waves (an oldie but a goodie!)

- The Climb - Miley Cyrus

- The Middle - Jimmy Eat World (bit more rocky, soft but the message is great)

- What a Wonderful World - Louis Armstrong (real oldie but again goodie)

- Born This Way - Lady Gaga

- Where Is the Love? - The Black Eyed Peas

- Paradise - Coldplay

I don't want to go overboard haha so if you want anymore just let me know

Love this thread

lot's of great song ideas that I am adding to my spotify!

My current favourite motivating song is Mountain to Move by Nick Mulvey. All about staying in the present, and making small changes now, even if it feels like there is a huge obstacle in our way.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YBQmV2zZK5o

Florence + The Machine - Shake It Out
Love the lyrics of “It's always darkest before the dawn”

https://youtu.be/WbN0nX61rIs

Alex Adair -Make Me Feel Better
very summery song
https://youtu.be/626fsEM1Cts

James Morrison - Demons
(Underrated song- song title sounds depressing but actually motivational)
https://youtu.be/qYlsyHVjEO0

Jess Gylnne - Dont be so hard on yourself
https://youtu.be/THeLVhU53ow
& all of Jess Glynne songs 🙃

Hailee Steinfeld - Love Myself
https://youtu.be/bMpFmHSgC4Q

This one is actually about mastubating

and making love to yourself rather than loving yourself. But yeah still can listen to it about loving yourself though maybe hard now ive said. (Realise you said you want ‘clean’ songs. Though there is nothing dirty about mastubating so hope okay)

Skive

Happy Hardcore. Yes it's old, and yes it's cheesy, but it's overwhelmingly positive and upbeat.

Force and Styles - Heart Of Gold

Here's some positive songs

Jump rope - blue october
Brighter - patent pending
I'm good - mowgli's

You have until 10pm on Sunday to submit songs

Omg. I have forgotten this song. This is so lovely and well sang. Def should listen to it anyway. She’s only 14 but sings so well
