It's cold, there is no sun, and school is going ahead at full speed- need I say more? With that said, it's pretty easy to get into a winter funk around this time of year. For me, listening to music is a great way to change my mood around and start thinking more positive thoughts. Here are 17 songs you can add to your playlists to make your days a little bit brighter!

1. Say You Won't Let Go- James Bay

If you don't believe in love, you will after you listen to this song.

2. 93 Million Miles- Jason Mraz

I will put this song on every playlist I ever make for the rest of my life because it's that good of a song. Instant mood booster, I guarantee it.

3. Little Bird- Ed Sheeran

Funny Story, the first time I ever heard this song was in Hollister. Never forget, the middle school Hollister days. Nevertheless, this song is still one of Ed's best. Upbeat, fun, an oldie but a goodie.

4. Don't Stop Making It Happen- Grouplove

Brought to you by the same band that brought you the hit "Tongue Tied" a couple years back. This song is super upbeat and will have you dancing on your feet in no time.

5. 30,000 feet- Ben Rector

If it were up to me I would have made this entire playlist Ben Rector songs, because each and every one of them makes me happy to no end. But for the sake of the article, I figured one would suffice. "30,000 feet" is on of my all time favorite. Definitely a song that makes you sit back and realize how blessed you are and all you have going for you.

6. Portugal - Walk The Moon

One of my all time favorite WTM songs, a great song to jam out to in the car as well.

7. Dance With Me- Ra Ra Riot

Get up and dance to this on, you won't regret it!

8. The Dog Days Are Over- Florence + The Machine

Can't go wrong with Florence, you just can't.

9. Don't Doubt- Blind Pilot

A bit of a slower song and not as upbeat, but definitely a great reminder that everything will work out in the end.

10. Run- COIN

A good, upbeat song can always turn that frown upside down!

11. Waiting on Summer- VHS Collection

Because who isn't waiting on summer?

12. Someday- The Strokes

The beat to this song is undeniably catchy! Try listening to this song without at least tapping your foot, I bet you can't do it.

13. Send Me On My Way- Rusted Root

Matilda, anyone?? A classic, nonetheless

14. What I Like About You- The Romantics

I had to throw this one in here, It's too good of a feel good song to not.

15. That's How You Know- Nico & Vinz

Awesome beat, undeniably catchy.

16. ILYSB- LANY

I'm a sucker for a good LANY song. Watch out for this band, they're going places.

17. Lush Life- Zara Larsson

Nothing like a good summer hit to get you through the day!

Hope these songs help to make your days brighter and happier! Happy Listening!
