It's really no surprise that music has the power to alter any mood. It can make you happy, it can make you sad.
One song may be hated by one, but deeply appreciated by another. It's a universal language that transcends
culture, race and religion. With that in mind, here are 5 songs that will lighten your mood and lift your spirits.
Johnny Nash- I Can See Clearly Now
One of the best songs to come out of Caribbean, this Johnny Nash smash
hit has been present on a number of movie soundtracks; including the
1994 classic `Cool Running's. A billboard 100 hit, this feel good song is a
gentle reminder that as humans, we have the capacity to find our inner
strength and push through adversity when we need to the most. "I can
see clearly now the rain has gone, I can see all obstacles in my way".
Mariah Carey Fantasy
This 1995 hit single from mega star Mariah Carey's album `Daydream'
is one song that doesn't fail to make you smile. The song samples Tom
Tom Clubs 1981 classic `Genius of Love'. Moreover anything, it is Mariah's
Carey's silky and effortless voice which makes this song have the lasting
impact it has had after all of these years. It is a beautiful song that will leave
you feeling high, happy and exhilarated.
Sixpence None the Richer- Kiss Me
On its release, this 90's classic may not be the bands only hit, but is
the most memorable one. The Texan twang, sharp instrumentals and
quirky lyrics have helped to make this one of the most upbeat songs
you will ever hear. Love and romance can really lift your mood and
Kiss Me is one song that will ensure you are smiling after you hear it, a
fantastic, light hearted, feel good song with a whole lot of heart!.
