OK, so a tiny bit off topic, but I would love to hear what everyone's "go-to" song is for when you're feeling down, frustrated, upset, and disempowered. Is there a song that lifts your spirits and drives you forward, onwards and upwards?

"This is Me", from The Greatest Showman, is my song, and I make sure it's turned up loud and a lot of my tensions are released.

:)

This is lovely post and I Have thought about posting this in the past.

To be honest since I am a 2000s emo at heart my go to is my chemical romance famous last words. For me it means no matter what I am strong enough to go on and I don't need to rely on others for my happiness. I acknowledge that life can be tough but it is worth going on.

Not sure what my 'happy song' is actually. I love anything Disney :) let it go is good :)

Hello , all over the place and majestictopaz,

great post!

For me music is so important so any tune or song I am learning , just throws me into a world of relaxation and forgetfulness just for 1 or 2 hours, bliss! Abit of old Franky! 'Fly me to the moon' springs to mind in recent months! Though ! Lol

well I couldn't resist listening to them, on a Friday night!

mine 'Fly me to the moon' well, like many of us I just sometimes want to run away from it all.

All over the place, 'this is me' great song and lyrics, we have all got to hold our head up high and move forward.

majestictopaz 'let it go ' lyrics are really powerful aren't they , can relate to how we are feeling

Nonna , lololol you have made me laugh! X sometimes life is just s...! But we will come out smelling of Roses in the end xx

lifesnotokay , lovely song and lyrics, we've all got to hold on haven't we because life is worth living! Xx

I genuinely love Frank Sinatra, I often play his LPs and listen to them with my 90 year old dad and singalong. You have just got to have music in your life!

virtual hugs to you all

Ahhhhh, what lovely replies... and great song choices all round. I love Let it Go.

There's another one I like called "Rise Up" - some great, inspirational lyrics in there, too.

So glad I asked, now. :) x

Haha another emo-kid at heart here blackhound and majestic. I also love whacking my chemical romance on full blast in my car and screaming the lyrics, particularly 'welcome to the black parade'! Reminds me of happier times ????

Blue shoes I can certainly vouch for happier times yes when listening to that type of music! I'm kinda glad to have found similar poeple to myself even if it's just music taste :)
