Music is good for the soul and here are 25 songs that should make your soul very happy. Over the years, I've happened upon these songs and even had the chance to see a few of them preformed live. Each song is individual and different and has it's own sound. So listen to a few, listen to them all, but take the time to savor them and listen to the lyrics.

Nico has quite the way with words and melody.

while we all love "A Drop in the Ocean", Ron Pope also has other fabulous songs.

music mixed with foreign language. heck, they even explain what they mean.
& Last, but certainly not least.
*drumroooooooooooll*

The Chainsmokers have a way with beats and lyrics. Give it a listen, Kayne would want you to (& so would I).
I hope you all enjoyed at least one of the songs on this list and caught a glimpse of what my music love consists of!
Shout out to all the fabulous people who already love the songs on this list, but I hope more people come to love the music not normally featured on the radio. You're missing a lot if you ONLY listen to the mainstream songs the radio stations choose. Also, special thanks to people who keep showing me new music. You people rock and your musical souls are beautiful <3
