Yup, we all have those days when we are just sad. Whether it is getting a bad grade on a test or a breakup. One thing that is always able to uplift me from a bad day is music, so here are some songs that are optimistic and will (hopefully) make you smile.
1. Tomorrow- Andrea McArdle
The signature song from the musical Annie, Tomorrow evokes the optimism and resilience that we all need sometimes.
2. Beautiful Day- U2
Beautiful Day has the power to make you reflect on how wonderful life is every single day.
3. I Got You (I Feel Good)- James Brown
This song is just so happy; it makes me want to get up and dance.
4. Pompeii- Bastille
Pompeii written by Bastille encompasses rising up from the ashes and being optimistic for what the future has to hold.
5. Don't Worry Be Happy- Bobby McFerrin
Look at the title of this song, need I say any more?
6. Stubborn Love- The Lumineers
The most used lyric is "Keep your head up, love", if that is not uplifting, I don't know what is?
7. I'm a Believer- The Monkeys
It makes me smile from ear to ear because of its cheery jingle.
8. Here Comes the Sun- The Beatles
The song explains the sun is coming after a long, cold winter.
9. Get Happy/Happy Days are Here Again- Judy Garland and Barbara Streisand
Something about Judy Garland and Barbara Streisand's stellar voices brings the listener nothing but bliss.
10. Three Little Birds- Bob Marley
The song says that everything will be alright, and I cannot think of anything that is better than that on a bad day.
