We all go through tough times. Life is never a smooth ride. Music is so powerful and can help transform a person’s mood. I have many songs that I listen to when I am feeling down, but these are some good, popular favorites!
1. "Skyscraper" by Demi Lovato
“Go on and try to tear me down
I will be rising from the ground
Like a skyscraper”
2. "Superheroes" by The Script
“When you've been fighting for it all your life
You've been struggling to make things right
That's how a superhero learns to fly”
3. "Human" by Christina Perri
“But I’m only human
And I bleed when I fall down
I’m only human
And I crash and I break down
Your words in my head, knives in my heart
You build me up and then I fall apart
'Cause I’m only human”
4. "Try" by Colbie Caillat
“You don't have to try so hard
You don't have to, give it all away
You just have to get up, get up, get up, get up
You don't have to change a single thing”
5. "Fight Song" by Rachel Platten
“This is my fight song
Take back my life song
Prove I'm alright song
My power's turned on
Starting right now I'll be strong
I'll play my fight song
And I don't really care if nobody else believes
'Cause I've still got a lot of fight left in me”
6. "Stronger" by Kelly Clarkson
“What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
Stand a little taller
Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone
What doesn't kill you makes a fighter”
7. "Keep Your Head Up" by Andy Grammer
“The glow that the sun gets
Right around sunset
Helps me realize
This is just a journey
Drop your worries”
8. "The Middle" by Jimmy Eat World
“Don't write yourself off yet
It's only in your head you feel left out or looked down on
Just try your best
Try everything you can
And don't you worry what they tell themselves when you're away”
9. "Unwritten" by Natasha Bedingfield
“ no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
The rest is still unwritten”
10. "Stand" by Rascal Flatts
“You might bend 'til you break
'Cause it's all you can take
On your knees you look up
Decide you've had enough
You get mad, you get strong
Wipe your hands, shake it off
Then you stand”
11. "Keep Holding On" by Avril Lavigne
“Keep holding on
'Cause you know we'll make it through
We'll make it through
Just stay strong
'Cause you know I'm here for you”
12. "Breakaway" by Kelly Clarkson
“I'll spread my wings, and I'll learn how to fly
I'll do what it takes till I touch the sky
And I'll make a wish
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway”
13. "Move Along" by The All-American Rejects
“When all you got to keep is strong
Move along, move along like I know you do
And even when your hope is gone
Move along, move along just to make it through”
14. "Brave" by Sara Bareilles
“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”
15. "Warrior" by Demi Lovato
“'Cause now I'm a warrior
Now I've got thicker skin
I'm a warrior
I'm stronger than I've ever been
And my armor, is made of steel, you can't get in
I'm a warrior
And you can never hurt me”
16. "I Don’t Want To Be" by Gavin DeGraw
“I don't want to be anything
Other than what I've been trying to be lately
All I have to do is think of me and I have peace of mind
I'm tired of looking around rooms wondering what I gotta do
Or who I'm supposed to be “
17. "Rise" by Andra Day
“You're broken down and tired
Of living life on a merry go round
And you can't find the fighter
But I see it in you so we gonna walk it out
And move mountains”
