Am I Wrong – Nico & Vinz
This song is having a resurgence due to the release of “Cinderella” on Amazon. Lyrics include, “If one thing I know/I'll fall but I'll grow/I'm walking down this road of mine/This road that I call home.” This song is so encouraging that Nico & Vinz sang it at the Nobel Peace Prize event.
Stronger (What Doesn’t Kill You) – Kelly Clarkson
This song features the famous phrase “What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.” This is a great message to remember for the times we’re in.
Higher love – Whitney Houston & Kygo
Some lyrics in this song that really stick out to me: “Worlds are turning, and we're just hanging on/Facing our fear, and standing out there alone/A yearning, yeah, and it's real to me/There must be someone who's feeling for me.”
Raise a Little Hell - Trooper
Just the beginning notes are enough to list your mood. And the words make you want to take action in your life - “If you don't like what you got, why don't you change it?/If your world is all screwed up, then rearrange it.”
I Will Survive - Gloria Gaynor
This is definitely a song to blast at full volume! After hearing this song (and singing at the top of your lungs), you’ll instantly feel better.
