What is your favourite song about over coming hard times ?

[Lardlizard]

I like Andrea day rise up
And yours by Ella Henderson

I can see clearly now the hothouse flowers version

Khalid- Let Go
I love this

Don't give up- Peter Gabriel and Kate Bush.

Christina Aguilara (sp) Soar
Sia Titanium

For the First Time by The Script

Solsbury Hill by Peter Gabriel.

The end part of Imagine Dragons' Top Of The World

And I know it's hard when you're falling down
And it's a long way up when you hit the ground
Get up now, get up, get up now

I play this a lot just to get to that bit

Tom Petty's Won't back down
Cliff Never Say Die is a guilty pleasure as is Taytay's Mean and the highwaymen's Highwayman
Oh and I love Keane's Silenced by the night's chorus
you and I, we're gonna rise again

and the latest Editors track Upside Down resonates

I watch Beyonce's All night video

When all else fails I turn to Eurovision, Conchita or Bilal Hassani

Cheesy- but 'roar' by Katy Perry.
It was playing on the radio after I finally got to bring home my DD who had neonatal meningitis when she was born.
The lyrics are uplifting but also acts as a benchmark to which most other upsetting things suddenly seem insignificant in comparison.

Skyscraper by Demi Lovato

Get better - Frank Turner

Three Lottle Birds - Bob Marley.
Whenever I have been struggling I seem to see/hear this everywhere
