Started working as a music writer as a side job while employed at a record shop, and for over 18 years I’ve contributed to music magazines, disc guide books, mooks, and web media. As a writer my main field is Western music, but as a listener for over 35 years, I always try to keep my curiosity alive with the motto “I like what I like.” I have experience playing in bands, where I was a bassist who handled songwriting and composition. Instruments I’ve played include bass, guitar, and piano. I began studying English in my mid-40s and continue to do so today.

Making mistakes at work, love not going well… As we go through life, everyone experiences times when they can’t help feeling down or troubled.

At times like these, many people surely turn to their favorite music to lift their spirits.

In this article, we’ve researched uplifting English-language songs that can help you regain your energy and stay positive, bringing you a diverse lineup from the latest hits to timeless classics!

All the tracks feature easy-to-listen-to melodies, so they’re great for newcomers to Western music as well.

Anyway, it’s a funky rap.

I first learned about Kendrick Lamar as a rapper after finding out that Nobel Prize in Literature winner Toni Morrison had recommended him.

Listening to it, you can hear influences from Michael Jackson’s “Smooth Criminal” and “Beat It.”

Jason Mraz’s “You Might Like It” is a feel-good track from his eighth album, Mystical Magical Rhythmical Radical Ride.

In particular, the chorus carries a message like: “Chasing your dreams is tough, but if you keep at it, you might just grow to love that dream—so give it a try.” It’s the kind of message that will put your mind at ease when you feel like giving up.

Combined with its upbeat vibe, this song makes it feel like good things will come if you keep working toward your dreams while listening to it.

This Is MeThe Greatest Showman Cast

The Greatest Showman Cast – This Is Me (Official Lyric Video)

This Is MeThe Greatest Showman Cast

The musical film The Greatest Showman, starring Hugh Jackman, is based on the life of a 19th-century showman.

It also drew attention for its music by the duo Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, known for works like La La Land.

This Is Me is a song performed within the film and included on the soundtrack, which became a major hit.

Many people will recall the scene where the circus troupe sings, especially the moment when actress Keala Settle begins to sing.

Everyone, no matter who they are, carries some kind of complex or a worry they can’t share with others.

This Is Me teaches us the importance of embracing ourselves as we are and celebrates the wonder of being true to oneself.
