Can you think of any songs that are about over coming adversities ?

[Lardlizard]

Stronger - Kelly Clarkson
Fight song - Rachel Platten?

Lose Yourself by Eminem

You're The Best by Joe Esposito

Firework by Katy Perry

The Climb - Miley Cyrus

The one that came to mind instantly for me is- Fast car- Tracy Chapman :)

Bloody love that song.

So strong - Labi Siffre.

My Silver Lining by First Aid Kit. Not very upbeat, but sometimes overcoming adversity is a matter of doggedly putting one foot in front of the other and repeating!

If you like dance music, disclosure - defeated no more

Don't give up, Kate Bush and Peter Gabriel
Shake it off, Taylor Swift
You'll never walk alone, Gerry and the pacemakers

The The - This is the day

Rise - Gabrielle
I still believe - Tim Cappello (from the lost boys film)
Win in the end -Mark Safan (from film Teenwolf)
Mighty Wings - Cheap Trick (Top Gun)

Yes, I love 80s films 😊

Saturday Night - Bon Jovi

(Also Lose Yourself and Yes but they've already had a mention.)

The Middle - Jimmy Eat World is another good one for when life is shit.

So Strong

Another vote for The Middle by Jimmy Eat World

The Show Must Go On - Queen
It's My Life - Bon Jovi
Hero - Mariah Carey

Yazz & The Plastic Population-The Only Way Is Up
