With all of the sad news, and all the drama going around, I feel it is necessary to share a list of songs that make me happy no matter what! Music is definitely something I enjoy listening to, and I enjoy a wide variety of it. So enjoy my happy playlist.
1. "Pocketful of Sunshine" by Natasha Bedingfield
No matter who you are, you can't deny the lyrics to this song make your mood a little better. I remember when this song came out and I was always listening to it.
"I got a pocket, got a pocketful of sunshine. I got a love, and I know that it's all mine."
2. "Smile" by Uncle Cracker
This is such a mellow song, and with such sweet lyrics.
"You make me smile like the sun. Fall out of bed, sing like a bird. Dizzy in my head, spin like a record. Crazy on a Sunday night."
3. "(What Doesn't Kill You) Stronger" by Kelly Clarkson
This song just really empowers me and makes me feel as if I can take on anything that is thrown my way!
"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, footsteps even lighter, doesn't mean I'm over cause you're gone."
4. "Roar" by Katy Perry
When this song came out it was like my anthem! I jammed out proudly to this, and it is another empowering song.
"You held me down, but I got up, already brushing off the dust. You hear my voice, your hear that sound, like thunder, gonna shake your ground. You held me down, but I got up. Get ready 'cause I've had enough."
5. "Pretty Girl Rock" by Keri Hilson
I was in middle school when this song came out, and I was always singing it on the bus or in the cafeteria. Just the lyrics makes me smile, because it gives me some self confidence.
"All eyes on me when I walk in, no question that this girl's a 10. Don't hate me 'cause I'm beautiful."
6. "Firework" by Katy Perry
Another Katy Perry song that makes me feel better about myself. I remember by older sister had dedicated this song to me, and this song instantly became my favorite. Especially since I was going through a hard time.
"'Cause baby you're a firework. Come on show 'em what your worth. Make 'em go oh, oh, oh. As you shoot across the sky."
7. "Dancing Queen" by ABBA
As soon as I turned 17 this instantly became my song. I was bored about being 17, but I remembered I was a dancing queen. The song is so upbeat, it is a favorite!
"You are the Dancing Queen, young and sweet, only seventeen. Dancing Queen, feel the beat from the tambourine."
8. "Jack & Diane" by John Mellencamp
This song was my anthem when I turned 16. I had definitely loved it before then, but I felt more connected to it somehow. It definitely deserves a spot on this list. It has a sweet meaning, and makes me smile when I hear it.
"Gonna let it rock, let it roll. Let the Bible Belt come, and save my soul. Hold on to sixteen as long as you can. Changes come around real soon, make us women and men."
9. "Gold Digger" by Kanye West
I know most people are rolling their eyes, but I saved the best for life. Nothing makes me more happy then when I am rapping along with Yeezy!
"She take my money when I'm in need, yea she's a trifling friend indeed. Oh she's a gold digger way over town, that digs on me."
So there it goes, a playlist I composed that will have you smiling in no time!
