Music works as a form of de-stressing for some, opening the minds of those who listen...taking them to a different world. I keep music very near and dear to my heart. My Spotify playlists are my babies and I would do almost anything to protect them from any form of virtual danger that may occur. Of course I'm not being serious, but I thoroughly enjoy music and I don't know what I'd do without it in my life. The following songs are all feel-good, motivating, and danceable songs that I tend to listen to wayyy too often.
1. The Sound
(The 1975) This song is amazing to listen to for long or shortroad trips, runs/walks, studying sessions, and more.
2. Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go
(Wham!) An all-time classic that can get anyone in the dancing mood!
3. Summer Nights
(John Travolta & Olivia Newton-John - Grease) ....this and every song from Grease, YES, just yes.
4. ANY ORIGINAL DISNEY MOVIE SONG
I'm extremely biased as I'm almost always singing or humming a Disney song, but they're the best, and if you think differently....are you even human?
Some of my all-time favorites are:
I'll Make A Man Out of You
(Mulan)...just a tad (extremely) sexist, but it's a classic. Mulan is a very empowering movie for all to watch. Seeing the process of feminism and determination shine through, fighting all different types standards and stereotypes, Mulan teaches all young minds to fight for yourself and for the ones you love.
Part of Your World
(TheLittle Mermaid) Have you seen Claire Ryann Crosby sing this? If not, PLEASE go watch it right now....it'll save a life.
A Whole New World
(Aladdin) A song about adventure and seeing the world, also extremely catchy and a great song to have stuck in your head all day.
Hakuna Matata
(The Lion King) Such a fun and catchy song that allows you to feel carefree!
and.....
How Far I'll Go
(Auli'i Cravalho - Moana) For the past few months I have been addicted to this song! Both Auli'i Cravalho's and Alessia Cara's versions are amazing, they even performed it live together at the 2017 Radio Disney Music Awards. The song isrelatable, soothing, beautiful, and easy to memorize...plus, the movie is so darn adorable and inspiring!
and seriously....the list could go on forever.5. Break Free
(Ariana Grande) written by Zedd, Max Martin, and Savan Kotecha, this song has a powerful message behind it as singer, Ariana Grande made it very obvious during her live performances of the song that she is celebrating equality, love, and more. Ariana has always been one to spread peace, love, andkindness everywhere she goes. She's accepting of all, for her to incorporate such a meaningful message into a song, all I can say is, you go girl!!
6. Dancing Queen
(Meryl Streep, Julie Walters & Christine Baranski - Mamma Mia) Need to dance it out? Here you go!
(thank you to those who picked up on thatGrey's Anatomy reference)
7. Little Brother
(Ella Vos) A soothing and catchy song for anymoment, also a good song to use as an alarm.
8. Man! I Feel Like a Woman
(Shania Twain) It's obvious why this song is on the list right? It's a bop and makes EVERYONE feel some type of way.
9. Don't Stop Believin'
(Journey) If you don't know all of the words, are you even human?
10. All You Need Is Love
(The Beatles) The title says it all.
