I’m making a playlist to listen to when I’m feeling down… looking for upbeat songs that are about struggling- like Kelly Clarkson “people like us”.
Getting a pretty decent list together- suggestions always welcome 🎤

"Get Better" by Frank Turner helped me through a really rough time in my life:
Music has always been a refuge; don't care what the gendre is, just as long as it does something for me. This may not well fit with the theme you're after, but I always find it uplifting: Nina Simone - Feeling Good
Paul Simon, Can't Run But. We Saw Lions, Better World. Zac Brown, Quiet Mind. Please share your list!
Foo Fighters Walk
here are some feel good songs that will get up and dancing.
California Jubilee - Let’s Twist Again you tube
Santana - Oye Como Va - Live - You Tube
Morris Day and the Time - Tribute to Prince - soul Train Special - You Tube
A twofer from Boston Peace of Mind and Foreplay/longtime
Oooo I have songs that generally bring me out of my funk. Maybe not inspirational but they get me moving and determined. Here you go:
Walk - Pantera
Groove is in the Heart - Dee-Lite
Boogie Shoes (Can’t remember who sings it)
All time favorite:
Break my Stride - Matthew Wilder
I love this
Music is very healing
move along by All American Rejects
has always been a go to song that moves and motivates me through the toughest of times
hope this recommendation helps you as well
Would love to see your finished playlist

I'm older, so my selection is mostly from classic rock music. "I can see clearly now" by Johnny Nash, "Unwritten" by Natasha Bedingfield, "Beautiful Day" by U2, "Don't Stop Believing" by Journey, "On Top of the World" by Imagine Dragons, "Red Rubber Ball" (an oldie) by the Cyrkle, "Roar" by Katy Perry, and probably my favorite song of all time "My Girl" by The Temptations. There are so many more songs that I could list.
"Don't Stop Me Now" by Queen always cheers me.
