Songs to Lift the Bad Day Blues

Songs to Lift the Bad Day Blues

Songs to Lift the Bad Day Blues

Do you have songs that instantly make a bad day better?  I love listening to music and can often be found singing off-key with earphones in (sadly, my kids have the evidence and are not afraid to use it!).

But on a bad day, one of those days when everything goes haywire, I have a short playlist of songs that I listen to on repeat until I feel like I can face the world again. I never get tired of these songs and listening to them always makes my world feel right again.

My tried-and-tested list of songs to make your day shine.


The Parlotones – Push Me To The Floor


One Direction – Perfect

 

Fun.: We Are Young ft. Janelle Monáe

 

Snow Patrol – Chasing Cars

 

OneRepublic – Something I Need

 

Robbie Williams, Pet Shop Boys – She’s Madonna

 

Suzanne Vega – The Queen And The Soldier

 

Stars Fall Down- The Parlotones

 

Dire Straits – Sultans Of Swing

 

Imagine Dragons – I Bet My Life

    Some of these are favourites of mine, and I agree that they definitely lift my spirits on bad days as well! Obviously I love Imagine Dragons, and I really love One Republic as well, they were a near pick for my top five artists for this week as well!

    Listening to music could also make me feel better! 🙂 I love all songs by One Republic and Chasing Car is one of my favorite song. Other than those, my go-to music would be all songs by The Script, John Mayer, and MLTR 😀
