I love finding a playlist for everything! I decided that what better way to start of 2K17 than with a New Year playlist? Some of these are newer, some are older-- but they all fit.
1. "I'm Good" by The Mowgli's
This is a feel good song that literally says the word "good" multiple times. It also references YOLO a few times. All in all, it's a great song to listen to with a fun beat and kind words.
2. "Broken Arrows" by Avicii
Avicii's track with Zac Brown from the Zac Brown Band's vocals is a combination I never knew I wanted. This song is about starting fresh, loving yourself and finding love for others. It's an upbeat tune that really makes you want to crack some glow sticks and dance your heart out.
3. "My List" by Toby Keith
Sometimes, we become so caught up in life and chores and to-dos that we forget to take a moment and appreciate being alive. I've heard this on the radio recently and it reminded me to take a step back, look around, and just breathe.
4. "Hosanna" by Hillsong United
This year one of my desires is to strengthen my relationship with Jesus and grow spiritually. One of my favorite current worship songs is this one. It talks about wanting to be renewed and growing and praising God.
5. "Just Like That" by Garrett Lee
Another worship-y and feel good song I felt like should be added to the list. The instruments, the vocals, and the beat combine to make an uplifting track that I truly enjoy listening to.
6. "This Is My Prayer For You" by Reba McEntire
What playlist would be complete without a song by the Queen of Country? Even though this song is technically a Christmas song, it honestly fits at any time of the year. It's a heart warming piece that has a loving and compassionate message.
7. "Lost In My Mind" by The Head And The Heart
I adore folk music. Another feel good tune to add to your list would be this one. (Can you tell feel good is what I'm aiming for?) I love the harmonizing they do and the meaningful lyrics.
8. "May We All" by Florida Georgia Line
This band never ceases to surprise me with a song that actually has some value behind it. This will probably be my favorite new country song for a while. Also, do yourself a favor and watch the video.
9. "Road Less Traveled" by Lauren Alaina
It's been a few years since we've heard a song by her but I'm all for the women of country music (we need more!) coming out with a powerful theme song for your life.
10. "Pioneer" by The Band Perry
I consider this my theme song. The first time I heard it, it made me feel. I understood why they made it the title of the album. One of the all-time best songs ever by TBP and it isn't even played on the radio.
