The Ultimate Feel Good Playlist

I'm a big music nerd. Music is also one of my fallback coping mechanisms, especially when I'm feeling down.

Since the last few days have been rough, sad and generally crappy for a lot of people, I thought it might be fun to start a game of sorts.

All you have to do is post a song that makes you feel good, for whatever reason. You can post the name. You can also post a link to the You Tube video (if it's up there), Spotify (or any of the streaming services. I happen to subscribe to Spotify), or any other place where someone can have a listen if they wish.

If you want, you can also tell us why this song makes you happy or makes you feel good. You can post songs that other people have posted. The only criteria is that it makes you feel good.

Since this is my idea, I'll go first.

"Let It Rain" by Eric Clapton



This song makes me feel good because it sounds so hopeful.

Your turn.

Ooh, I like this idea
Here's one that always makes me feel like bopping around. It's from the Wii game "Go Vacation"

And one for when I need to mellow out. It's my favorite song from my favorite Japanese rock band, L'Arc~en~Ciel titled "Pieces"

I have no idea how to post links, but the one song that never fails to lift me up when I'm down is Shut Up and Dance by Walk the Moon. For some reason, the second I hear it, I can picture that scene where Jun and Jinpei are dancing every single time!
