Each week our org's editor-in-chief sends out a newsletter with topics to write about, information from HQ, and things like that. At the end of her emails, she always poses a question for us writers to answer in our group chat to start some conversation. This week the question was "what song always makes you happy?"
After reading some of my peer's responses, I got to thinking, does everyone have a pick-me-up song, and if so, what are their favorite ones? I set up some polls to see, and the short answer is yes, it seems that most people do have go-to songs that they listen to when they need cheering up.
I thought it would be fun to compile a list of what people said their pick-me-up songs were so that next time I, or anyone else for that matter, is feeling down, they have plenty of songs they can turn to.
Here were their favorites:
1. "I Would Die 4 U" — Prince
2. "Hayloft" — Mother Mother
3. "No Rain" — Blind Melon
4. "Nine In The Afternoon" — Panic! At The Disco
