[Lardlizard]

I like Andrea day rise up
And yours by Ella Henderson

What version do you like best knight ?

Get Better - Frank Turner

I Will Survive

Burn the Ships by For King and Country
and Read all about it part three by Emillie Sande

Kesha - Praying

Fighter - Christina Aguilera

Very cheesy but Unwritten by Natasha Beddingfield is really uplifting.

Bon Jovi -Saturday night. essentially things are crap right now but I know that it will get better.

Wow that swimming is good, never heard that before

Embrace - Ashes

@mumsiedarlingrevolta - that's beautiful

@knightsinwhitesatin, YNWA is my go to song when things aren't going my way. I only have to think of the Kop singing it to feel their strength with me. Because very few of us ever walk alone.

It's a weird feeling, that 50 thousand people are with you and cheering you on. They've got me through some tough times

Also, The Oil Slick by Frightened Rabbit, for the lyrics
"There is hope but there's a tunnel to crawl through
There is love but its misery loves you
There's still hope so I think we'll be fine
In these disastrous times, disastrous times"

Sometimes hope is all there is left to cling on to as you get through the hard times.

Frank Sinatra - That's Life.

Something inside so strong. When my DH passed away suddenly I chose I'll find my way home by Jon vangelis.

Streets of London always makes me feel that maybe things could be worse.

I clicked on this to say ‘Rise Up’ by Andra Day, but see you got there first OP!! Beautiful, uplifting song.

Cheesy, but Five - Get on Up

Kesha praying

To add to all these great suggestions, these are my pep talk songs:

Tubthumping, Chumbawumba (I get knocked down, but I get up again)

I am the one and only, Chesney Hawkes (uber cheesy)

The Worlds Greatest (boxing type song, thinking about it, it might be by R Kelly so maybe don't play this unless his was a cover and you can find original version)

Also really like Jai Ho for an uplifting song.

Hope all these suggestions help.

Alecia keys not even a king

Something inside so strong - Laba Sifre

I'll find my way home - Vangelis (especially the lyric, 'I'll say it starts at the end)

I agree with these. For me, my song is, 'Learning how to fall' by Bon Jovi (I think) when I accept I need to be humble in the face of defeat.

#Next to me' was playing on the radio as I was driving home from an unsuccessful job interview and I had this overwhelming need to see my husband. It was lunchtime and I asked if he could have his lunchbreak from work in a café nearby his work. He agreed and I just felt better after a hug and a chat with him during his lunchbreak.

I know it hurts - Alter Bridge

The words clicked with me and I learned to get through my panic attacks, then not 'panic' when I got them, and then not get them!

You'll never walk alone- Gerry and the pacemakers.
I play this sitting in the cemetery when I visit dd's grave.

many rivers to cross- Jimmy Cliff
