Sometimes we’re in the mood for a certain type of music, but we just don’t know what we want. Do you ever get the feeling that you want one specific song but you just don’t know which song it is? Many songs are tied to our feelings and emotions, and sometimes even the weather. So let’s look deeper into some of the music you may need depending on how you are feeling.
Upbeat and Positive
Have you ever gotten bouts of random energy, or are just inexplicably happy? Here are three songs for when you just want to let it all out and dance, whether it be in your room or out and about. This music will never fail to fit that mood:
“Wait a Minute!” by WILLOW
“Uma Thurman” by Fall Out Boy
“Edge of Glory” – Lady Gaga
Chill and Relaxed
The weather, or just life, can also have an effect on our music taste. Have you ever been walking in the rain to class with your earbuds in, but the music you’re listening to just isn’t fitting the vibe? If you’re looking for some new, chill songs to add to your playlist on a drizzly, dreary day, here are a few, from me to you:
“Stick Season” by Noah Kahan
“Something in the Orange” by Zach Bryan
“Astronomy” by Conan Gray
Alive and Free
We all have those moments where we feel extra alive and free. Do you have a hippy side that likes to randomly come out to play? If you know what I mean, then here are some great Indie songs to add some spark to your day:
“Magdalene” by the 502s
“Cleopatra” by The Lumineers
“Love You For A Long Time” by Maggie Rogers
2010s Throwback Songs
Along the lines of feeling more alive, we all need a throwback to the early 2010s once in a while. These artists can make your energy rise while bringing you back in time. Here are my top three from that era that just hit a special string in all our hearts:
“We Are Young” by fun. ft. Janelle Monae
“Without You” by David Guetta ft. Usher
“We Found Love” by Rihanna and Calvin Harris
Music is something everyone finds themselves listening to in their daily lives, so why not listen to some tunes that fit your vibe? Start by making a playlist for what you are feeling right now. Happy, sad, energetic, in love? Listen to a song you haven’t heard of before, maybe it will become your new favorite hit.
