I know for a lot of people, myself included, we can kind of get caught in a winter slump. The dreary weather and short days can cause us to lose motivation and just want to stay in bed all day. For me, music always has a big affect on my mood, and listening to certain songs can really pull me out of a down time. I have listed here a few songs that are a sure way to boost my mood and help me get out of that winter slump.
- 10/10 by Rex Orange County
-
This song describes exactly what it feels like to pull yourself out of a down time and rise above. Rex Orange County talks about how he had a tough year but is ready to come back stronger. Not only are the lyrics to the song motivating, but the beat is uplifting as well.
- Moving On and Getting Over by John Mayer
-
John Mayer is an artist that has such a nostalgic feel for me which is why his songs can always put me in a good mood. The lyrics of this song talk about how moving on from a girl, or any negative situation really, can take time and be difficult, but also that it can be done. The way I interpret the lyrics make this song motivational for me to get through tough times.
- Blame It on Me by George Ezra
-
To me this song is all about living your life how you please and not letting others negativity affect you. I think this is an important thing to think about when you may be caught in a time where your confidence is down.
- Canyon Moon by Harry Styles
-
The beat of this song alone is enough to make you want to get out of bed and be productive. Harry Styles is one of those artists that really makes me feel the emotions he puts into his music. For this song I can feel the radiation of positivity which makes me happy and motivated.
- Take My Hand by Picture This
-
Take My Hand is about a relationship that is so pure and adventurous, one full of love and happiness. While I do see it is a love song, it also makes me want to go out and have fun experiences with friends and those around me that make me happy.
- Fine by Noah Kahan
-
Fine is all about overcoming what others may think of you and coming out above. People in your life my try to tear you down or doubt you, but Kahan states that in the end he will be just fine.
- Dance with Me One More Time by This Pine Box
-
This Pine Box is a band that was actually formed at my high school by some friends of mine a few years ago. While I really love all of their music, this song has always been a favorite of mine. It is one that always makes me want to get up and dance around.
Listening to positive and upbeat music can really help to motivate you and get you out of the down period a lot of us find ourselves in in the winter months. Play these songs, get up and dance around, and go out and accomplish your goals!
