Most Uplifting Songs

[H18 ENF]

This is inspired by the fact that I'm producing wedding video for a friend of mine and want to add a contemporary song that is very uplifting over a montage sequence of their day. But the question that is bouncing around my head is "What track shall I use?"

So I'll put it out there, what songs in the last year have you found to be uplifting, a feel good track?

I'm really struggling to think of one! But maybe that's because I'm trying too hard!

Difficult to choose an uplifting tune that isn't too cheesy, but how about Elbow - One day like this?

[Strangely Brown]

It would help to know what kind of music they like?

[H18 ENF]

For the video - you'e quite right it would, but for this thread I was being a bit more general, just seeing what I may be missing out on/haven't heard.

[Ozone]

Show me the way to Amarillo.

Atmosphere - Joy Division.

[CraigW]

Atmosphere - Russ abbot

I'm editing some stuff myself at the moment so have been spending hours in Spotify to find music.

How about these:
John Butler Trio - Funky Tonight
Lovin Spoonful - Daydream
All Saints - Pure Shores (I used this on my mates wedding video)
Van Morrison - Brown Eyed Girl ( and this )

[Herbie58]

Jackie Wilson - Higher and Higher (Your love keeps lifting me)
Queen - Don't stop me now

[everGreddy]

Ultimate, happy happy tune. I honestly can't help but smile when listening to this:

Two Door Cinema Club - Undercover Martyn

Of particular relevance for a wedding vid :

Frankmusik - Better off as 2

[Laurel Green]

Wind beneath my wings.

It was meant as a joke. Couldn't think of anything less uplifting.

Wake up Boo - The Boo Radleys

Always makes me wish I was walking across a field in summer, not a care in the world, marching in time to the song being played by the band/orchestra (who are conveniently walking across the field with me).

Cat Stevens - Another Saturday Night

No matter how angry/stressed I am, this will always, ALWAYS, make me smile and dance like a 2 year old.
