A song that won’t lose to COVID-19

The spread of the coronavirus has affected just about everyone.

Because of it, we live in a world where we have to give up many things in various parts of life—at home, at work, and at school.

We can’t fully enjoy what we love, we can’t meet the people we care about, and even our daily lives are disrupted—the list goes on.

It’s easy to feel down, but if music can lift our spirits even a little, that would be wonderful.

With that in mind, I’ve picked songs that will stand by your side—like a friend who understands you—and energizing tracks that are sure to boost your mood.

Here’s hoping you can face tomorrow feeling at least a little more positive.
