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.

When you just can’t get motivated and you’re feeling down, anyone who loves music usually has at least one go-to track that lifts their spirits.

The more of those “this song will get me through the day” tracks you’ve got stocked up—not just one or two—the better you can match them to how you feel that day.

So in this article, we’ve rounded up a selection of uplifting Western music.

From pop and rock to punk, the lineup features recent hits and popular songs from the last few years, so if you’re looking for new tracks to boost your mood, this is a must-see!
