Can I please ask for your favourite HAPPY or MOTIVATIONAL SONG? (Anxiety/depression playlist buster!)

[yellowpolkadots101]

Please the world of mumsnet help me put a happy motivational playlist together to distract me from a horrible period of anxiety I am going through!

I will be adding songs to a spotify playlist and playing them in my room, in my car and also at the gym!

Old and new songs welcome!!

I have zero songs so far! My first song will be

'Come on Eileen' a song myself and dp love dancing and singing to in the car =)

Happy to share the playlist on spotify for those who would like to listen once I have put it together...!

Thank you

Now That We Found Love by Third World

Uptown Funk

pinkiewilson 22.03hrs 23.4.19 you have certainly made my day with that Jackie Wilson/Fred & Ginger combo. Totally uplifting

Sorry that was to pinkieTuscadero

Lighthouse Family. Listened to it on a bus one day and realised I had to quit my crappy job, every day there was 'darker than December.

High g.co/kgs/eBaFNn

Generator - the Holloways

As by Stevie Wonder .. but George Michael/Mary J Blige’s cover is good, too

Just about anything from the Sound of Music or Grease

Let Me Love You One More Time - George Benson

ELO - Mr Blue Sky
I find it literally impossible to avoid smiling and bopping when I hear it.

My absolute favourite for blasting the blues is Going Back to My Roots by Odyssey.

Also A Little Respect by Erasure, Like a Prayer by Madonna, Break My Stride by Matthew Wilder, Higher Love by Steve Winwood, What a Feeling by Irene Cara.

I listen to a lot of Heart 80s

Hope you feel better soon OP

Try Everything from Zootropolis - that always picks me up and has me doing a Strictly cha cha round the house

Funkin For Jamaica - Tom Browne
Stomp - Brothers Johnson
Insomnia - Faithless
Cleaning Windows - Van Morrison
Forget Me Not - Patrice Rushen
Finally - Cece Penniston

Take that - shine. Always makes me smile

Ooh also, depending on why you’re feeling down... if it’s because of someone who’s a massive twat, I can wholeheartedly recommend Fuck You by Lily Allen. I’m not a fan generally, but it is brilliantly uplifting 😂

Back in the High Life Again
When You See A Chance

Both Steve Winwood

Oh wow I clicked on that Public Enemy link (brilliant btw) and
Here Comes the Hotstepper came up next surely the most uplifting track of all time.

You and your hand - pink
You make me feel like dancing - Leo sayer
Oh what a night - sorry don’t know who sings it

Frankie Valli and the Four Season (oh what a night)

Are you starting to feel better yellow?
Sending you

Eels Losing Streak.

Be Okay by Oh Honey

Solsbury Hill by Peter Gabriel

Housemartins: Caravan of Love
Elbow: One Day Like This (already mentioned but seconded!)
Deborah Kerr in the King and I: I Whistle a Happy Tune
John Mayer:The Heart of Life

Here's the Jimmy Eat World link seeing as a few of us have mentioned it now.

This is a good reminder to make a motivational playlist to avoid the procrastination/ self sabotage/ hating self spiral when I'm at work on my own.
