My favorite song for this right now is called, "Light up the Night" by a band called The Protomen. It evokes a sense of euphoria, strength, and hope in me. You can listen to it here: PROTOMEN | LIGHT UP THE NIGHT

Lyrics:

This city's sleeping like a soldier trapped inside of an iron lung
Machines can keep you breathing but what happens when you find a new world's begun
Flip the switch and turn it off, you won't be able to breathe
So either way you're a casualty

I've got this burning like my veins are filled with nothing but gasoline
And with this spark, it's gonna be the biggest fire they've ever seen
Cut me down, you'll never run, either way it's all gonna burn
The only way that they'll ever learn
(Gotta turn it on? Flip a switch.)

Light up the night
There is a city that this darkness can't hide
There are the embers of the fires gone out
But I can still feel the heat on my skin
And this mess we're in
But you and I
Maybe you and I
We can still make it right–
Maybe we can bring back the light.

(At the heart of the city)
At the heart of the city there is a building that looks down out on all there is
(And the man in the tower controls it all)
And the man in the tower controls it all without raising a single fist
(It's like they gathered up the City)
It's like they gathered up the City, sold it to the devil, and now
It's gone to hell and they wonder how

Well, a friend once told me many would follow any man who would turn the wheels
(Now the wheels are spinnin' out of control)
Now the wheels are spinnin' out of control, what would they do if we held them still?
(If you destroy the working parts)
If you destroy the working parts what you get is a broken machine
A beacon of light from a burning scream
(Emily!)

Light up the night
There is a city that this darkness can't hide
There are the embers of the fires gone out
But I can still feel the heat on my skin
And this mess we're in
But you and I
Maybe you and I
We can light up the night.

But we can light up the night! (Light up the night)
There is a city that this darkness can't hide
There are the embers of the fires gone out
But I can still feel the heat on my skin
And this mess we're in
But you and I
Maybe you and I
We can light up the night! (Light up the night)

There is a city that this darkness can't hide
There is a fire that will burn through the streets of the city
And we will stand in the light, we will stand in the light
You and I – maybe you and I –
We can bring back the light! (Light up the night)
There is a city that this darkness can't hide
There is a fire that will burn through the streets of the city
And we will stand in the light, we will stand in the light
You and I
You and I...
We'll bring back the light.

Let's see, anything by Jack Johnson pretty much. Dave Matthews Band and Bob Marley.

Ramble On.... Led Zeppelin (but I'll take anything from them as well)

and.... my sons' singing in the car to whatever is on the radio.
I really love Ramble On, one of my favorite led zeppelin songs, i can even play it myself- at least the main riff.

My best friend sent me this song and it's so beautiful that it makes me tear. It reminds me of the point of this forum..and the Pavlina's entire site actually. Thanks to everyone for helping us figure out "the Riddle"

The Riddle - Five for Fighting

There was a man back in '95
Whose heart ran out of summers
But before he died, I asked him

Wait, what's the sense in life
Come over me, Come over me

He said,

Son why you got to sing that tune
Catch a Dylan song or some eclipse of the moon
Let an angel swing and make you swoon
Then you will see... You will see

Then he said,

Here's a riddle for you
Find the Answer
There's a reason for the world
You and I...

Picked up my kid from school today

Did you learn anything cause in the world today
You can't live in a castle far away
Now talk to me, come talk to me

He said,

Dad I'm big but we're smaller than small
In the scheme of things, well we're nothing at all
Still every mother's child sings a lonely song
So play with me, come play with me

And Hey Dad
Here's a riddle for you
Find the Answer
There's a reason for the world
You and I...

I said,

Son for all I've told you
When you get right down to the
Reason for the world...
Who am I?

There are secrets that we still have left to find
There have been mysteries from the beginning of time
There are answers we're not wise enough to see

He said... You looking for a clue I Love You free...

The batter swings and the summer flies
As I look into my angel's eyes
A song plays on while the moon is hiding over me
Something comes over me

I guess we're big and I guess we're small
If you think about it man you know we got it all
Cause we're all we got on this bouncing ball
And I love you free
I love you freely

Here's a riddle for you
Find the Answer
There's a reason for the world
You and I...

YouTube - Five for Fighting-The Riddle


I hope someone listens to this song and it lifts your heart a little bit. Enjoy!

If you have a song to add, please post it here.. and if you have the lyrics and a link to listen to it (via YouTube, or MySpace or something) that would be great too!
Air and Zero 7 bands - love their songs. Especially "Destiny" and "Waiting Line".

Back in Black by AC/DC is just a fantastic, hard-rocking tune with lots of attitude. It's about embracing life, doing things your way, grabbing life by the gonads and going with it.

Sunshine Song by Jason Mraz. I love the lyrics of this song. This song is more about hope than happiness, and it's the perfect song to listen to when you're depressed. The music is gentle and chilled, which means you won't switch it off because you're depressed, but the lyrics aren't depressing, which is great.

Xavier Rudd, any of them really... here's one

Well they dance with my mind
through these traits undefined
you and you and you alike
well you all seem to

Blow me away
Nine times a day then
By the tenth time
I'm drifting away
And you all gather in my brain
And you dance with my mind

I like to intercept your trance
Dissect the stories that you share
While all the rhythm feeds my soul
It all swells up and

Blows me away
Nine times a day then
By the tenth time
I'm drifting away

And you all gather in my brain
And you dance with my mind

You blow me away
Nine times a day then
By the tenth time
I'm drifting away
And you all gather in my brain
And you dance with my mind

Well they dance with my mind
through these traits undefined
you and you and you alike
well you all seem to
you dance with my mind
