Does anyone have a song that helps them when they are feeling down??? Music always helps me feel better and I am looking for some new songs that could help

I really like the song "Feeling Good". It's been covered many times, and the most current versions I'm familiar with are by Muse and Michael Buble. Of the two, I prefer the Michael Buble version because the big band sound always makes me tap my feet!

I think the line I like best is "it's a new dawn, it's a new day, it's a new life...and I'm feelin' good."

Beautiful world by Carolina Liar...it's really uplifting.
Up and up, by Reliant k i think. They have a lot of positive songs.
Sway your head, by We shot the moon, the lyrics are VERY positive. I thought that it really related to anxiety.
The remedy by Jason Mraz, "I won't worry my life away"

I think this song by Carrie Underwood is amazing http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q7XehXFAOTk

Have a listen.

Here are the lyrics.

[Verse 1]
What you got if you ain't got love
the kind that you just want to give away
It's okay to open up
go ahead and let the light shine through
I know it's hard on a rainy day
you want to shut the world out and just be left alone
But don't run out on your faith

[Chorus]
'Cause sometimes that mountain you've been climbing is just a grain of sand
What you've been up there searching for
forever is in your hands
When you figure out love is all that matters after all
It sure makes everything else
seem so small

[Verse 2]
It's so easy to get lost inside
a problem that seems so big at the time
it's like a river thats so wide
it swallows you whole
While you sit around thinking about what you can't change
and worrying about all the wrong things
time's flying by
moving so fast
you better make it count 'cause you can't get it back

[Chorus]
Sometimes that mountain you've been climbing is just a grain of sand
What you've been up there searching for
forever is in your hands
When you figure out love is all that matters after all
It sure makes everything else
Seem so small

Sometimes that mountain you've been climbing is just a grain of sand
What you've been up there searching for
forever is in your hands
When you figure out love is all that matters after all
It sure makes everything else
Oh it sure makes everything else
Seem so small

Yeah, Yeah

Gilbert & Sullivan operettas give me a lift anytime! And then there's the symphonic repertoire from Haydn to Stravinsky.
