This is for those that are waiting to get back to work and those also caught in social distancing, I thought it might be good to have a pick me up.
For two starting things that came to my mind when I first thought of this, the first was Roger Rabbit.
I wanted the part where he was singing at the bar. He clearly was not in a good place and yet he was still positive. In fact, roger was positive throughout the movie even when things were at their worst. So a roger dance I thought was perfect but not available so you get to see Eddie's version at the end.
Second, was wake me up before you Go-Go.
1. Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go - Wham (1984)
It's such a fun song. Given it's all about relationships and nothing to do with positivity, it is still is such an upbeat song that when you hear it, it just helps you to get out of bed.
2. Hold On- Wilson Phillips (1990)
I tried to avoid songs that were relationship based, even those more upbeat than this, but in it's place I chose songs that have more meaningful
lyrics to go along with the song being up beat. But Hold on, is pretty relationship focused but these lyrics ring true.
"Don't you know?
Don't you know things can change
Things'll go your way
If you hold on for one more day
Can you hold on for one more day
Things'll go your way
Hold on for one more day"
"I know that there is pain
But you hold on for one more day and
Break free the chains
Yeah I know that there is pain
But you hold on for one more day and you
Break free, break from the chains"
3. Geronimo - Sheppard (2014)
This one is less about the lyrics and more about the feel and appearance of the music video. It is about rebirth, a revolution that is waiting to be revealed. In the midst of bad times there is rebirth coming.
4. Back In The High Life Again - Steve Winwood (1986)
This is just an upbeat song and the lyrics really speak for themselves.
"I'll be back in the high life again
All the doors I closed one time will open up again
I'll be back in the high life again
All the eyes that watched me once will smile and take me in"
I add some adjustments to these lyrics :)
"I'll be back in the high life again
All the doors "that" closed one time will open up again
I'll be back in the high life again
All the eyes that watched me once will smile and take me "back" in"
5. Bad Day - Daniel Powter (2005)
This is a great one. It is a classic of sorts but it reminds us that we all kinda have bad days sometimes...
6. Everything's Gonna Be Alright - Bob Marley (1980)
A simple sweet song, reminding us that everything is going to be alright.
7. Unwritten - Natasha Bedingfield (2004)
This is all about lives that are still being written. Just because our lives have stopped in some ways does not mean they have stop being written. Our lives are active and they never stop, just when we think our lives are finished being written, that's when the writing starts again. This is not a time of lives being stopped, it is a time of rebirth.
"Today is where your book begins
The rest is still unwritten"
8. Here Comes The Sun - The Beatles (1969)
A simple reminder that the sun is still shining and the time is coming when we will shine with the sun once again.
9. Brave - Sara Bareilles (2013)
This is a challenge, to be brave, to dare to look forward and see the other side.
"Everybody's been there, everybody's been stared down
By the enemy
Fallen for the fear and done some disappearing
Bow down to the mighty
Don't run, stop holding your tongue
Maybe there's a way out of the cage where you live
Maybe one of these days you can let the light in
Show me how big your brave is"
10. Don't Worry Be Happy -Bobby McFerrin (1988)
Just a warm fuzzy feel good song, don't worry be happy :)
11. Never Gonna Let You Down - Colbie Caillat (2014)
We are far apart, yet we are connected and we stay connected with each other, this reminds us we are not as alone at times as we sometimes feel.
12. I Can See Clearly Now - Johnny Nash (1972) / Jimmy Cliff (1993)
This was done by another artist before, Johnny Nash, but the video with Cool running's movie scenes is pretty awesome to watch and much more inspiring visually than the original song.
13. Be Ok - Ingrid Michaelson (2008)
This is a song about being ok, and being ok today. It's not about having to conquer the day but being ok. and it is a great theme seeing all the people in the video finally coming together.
14. Under Pressure - Queen & David Bowie (1981)
Ending with a classic that seems to be popular in commercials at the moment
because we are all under pressure but we are all going to be ok. That video clip is also from a movie called its a funny kind of a story
about a hospital unit with people battling depression. It's powerful because, for that moment they leave reality and become something greater than their situation and that's what I want for all of us. To be greater than our current situation.
All of my picks are numbered but not really in any order. Please feel free to share some up lifting covid music of your own :)
