Most uplifting songs?

MagicMarker

What are, in your opinion, the most uplifting songs?

I'm going to start off with the unexpected and nominate a Radiohead song with an ironic name....

Let Down - I just find it to be a really emotional song and lifts me up no matter what kind of mood I'm in.

Other than that, you can't beat a bit of 80's cheese...

I know people will probably slant me for this but I love Miley Cyrus. She has a haunting voice and its perfectly suited to ballads like this.

And please don't get me started people who say "oh they copied Kraftwerk". Coldplay are class and this song has cheerful lyrics that always help me to be optimistic.

Superbus

The second half of this.

This always puts a smile on my face - much like that one in fact.

OPENROAD

Love the melody, she was only 16 when she composed and wrote this, so lyrics are kind of innocent but nice imo.

Great pop tune imo and the song she is really only known for, though much more to Vanessa Carlton than just this one song

Latchy

This will have me bopping around the kitchen

"Bullet Proof...I Wish I Was" by Radiohead. I can't explain why but it is uplifting.

Don't know why but I always find Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds "There she goes my beautiful world" puts a smile on my face

Edit: How do I do the youtube tag properly?? Viewed the music forum for a while and finally post and my newbness shows me up !

Howard the Duck

Agree with you on this song, one of my favourite nick cave songs and this is a great performance of it.

So uplifting, it took Fr. Kevin out of his depression in Father Ted.

Nah. "Exit Music..." is definitely their most depressing (cue Father Ted). The guitar in the chorus of "Bulletproof..." is very uplifting.
