Do you need a reason to smile today? Well, we have got not one, but ten reasons for you to smile and forget your worries. Here are feel-good songs that you MUST listen to…
Blowing in the Wind (Bod Dylan)
This Dylan gem, which is from his album The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan, is almost four decades old yet as fresh as if it’s just come out! That’s the beauty of Dylan. There’s something assuring about the catchphrase, ‘The answer, my friend, is blowin’ in the wind’, which is enough to pep up your mind. It entered the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1994 and was featured on number 14 on Rolling Stone magazine’s ‘500 Greatest Songs of All Time’.
California Dreamin (The Mamas & the Papas)
Like the singer, who is longing for California’s warm summers during a cold night, you would be able to relate to the song too. This 1965 hit gave the band its much needed push and was also featured on number 89 on Rolling Stone magazine’s ‘500 Greatest Songs of All Time’. If you’re too stressed, just close your eyes and listen to this one on loop, you will feel better.
Buffalo Soldier (Bob Marley)
One of the reggae genius Marley’s most well-known numbers, this 1980 hit gives out positive vibes, thanks to the choice of words used by the late singer. The title and lyrics refer to the black U.S. cavalry regiments, who are known as Buffalo Soldier. Listen this one for its catchy rhythm and hard-hitting lyrics.
Soul Meets Body (Death Cab for Cutie)
This hit single by the Washington-based band is a soothing number with a haunting drawl that makes you want to keep listening to it on loop all day. The hookline definitely gets you hooked onto it. Drawing inspiration from ‘loss and wonderment’, this song peaked at number 5 on the U.S. Modern Rock Track chart.
Rhythm Is A Dancer (Snap!)
This fast-paced disco song merges the female voice with that of male rap, nicely building up the chorus to infuse energy and rhythm to the proceedings. This song will have you on your feet for sure! It became a rage when it came out in 1992 and continues to excite youngsters across the globe.
Koi Kahe Kehta Rahe (Dil Chahta Hai)
Nothing defines a buddy movie like this Farhan Akhtar cult classic. This peppy number, which has Saif Ali Khan, Aamir Khan and Akshay Khanna grooving like crazy, will make you want to jump onto the dance floor and party! Despite an understated club music, it delivers big time on the pep factor.
Musafir Hoon Yaaron (Parichay)
This Kishore Kumar gem captures the beauty and mystery of life so well that you are made to nod along with the lyrics. Take a bow, Gulzar sahib!
Gal Mithi Mithi Bol (Aisha)
This shaadi number will get you in the mood for some naach gaana. Amit Trivedi delivers a beautiful song, rich in beats and rhythm. If the blues are bogging you down, turn up the volume on this one and just let go! Even the title song is a winner. You have two songs to choose from.
Pyar Hua Ikrar Hua (Shree 420)
The real life chemistry between Raj Kapoor and Nargis is so evident in this song that you can feel their passion! Beautifully soulful, this gem is one of the best songs to listen to when down and out. The soothing tone and the crackling chemistry of the lead pair will transport you to a different world.
Aiynvi Aiynvi Lut Gaya (Band Baaja Baarat)
With silly lyrics and sillier dance movies, this Salim-Suleiman song will definitely make you forget about your worries. A perfect shaadi number, it will distract you and make you smile. Don’t believe us? Give it a shot!
