Over the years songs have been put out with a positive message that we all should hear and even make them a part of ours lives. In this blog I will be listing my top 15 positive songs that I think the world needs to really hear.
The songs are in no real order. They can be a personal positive message or a positive message about people in general. I will have a link to the video or song.
1) Firework by Katy Perry - This song is a self positive song that sends a great message. It can lift anybody up who is feeling down about themselves. Video Here
2) Everyday people by Sly & the family stone - I love this song. It's from the 70's and I remember growing up hearing this song. The world needs to hear this one for it sends a message about no matter our color etc, we are just people. This song will never get old for me. Video Here
3) Imagine by John Lennon - This is another classic that I'm sure everyone knows. I wish the world could live as one. Video here
4) Give piece a chance by John Lennon - Another oldie that gives a really good message to the world. The only thing I don't like about this song is that the chorus gets repeated over and over. Most of the song is the chorus. Other than that, it's a really great one to listen to. Video here
5)Love one another by Tito Jackson - This is a brand new song that just came out by Michael Jackson's brother Tito. Their brother Marlon also has vocal parts. I think this is another important song for everyone to hear. It has a great beat too. A lot of famous people and Jackson family members appear in the video which I think is cool. I am so addicted to this song at the moment. If you haven't heard it yet, you should and then share it. Video here
6)Fucking perfect by Pink - A great self positive song. Video here
7) Beautiful by Christina Aguilera - Another self positive song that goes along with Fucking perfect I think. Video here
8)Rhythm Nation by Janet Jackson - I really love this song. I think the whole album has great messages and can make one think. I love the music video too. Video here
9)Keep the faith by Michael Jackson - I think this is an underrated song. It's very uplifting and has helped me get through some bad days. Audio Here
10) Don't stop believing by Journey - Who doesn't know and love this song? Audio here
11) Heal the world by Michael Jackson - Another great song by Michael Jackson Video here
12) Unpretty by TLC - Another song that I love and has a strong message about one's self. Video here
13) Born this way by Lady Gaga - This is kinda different self positive song but I felt it should be included. Video here
14) When we stand together by Nickleback - I know a lot of people don't like this group but they do have a positive message in this song. Video here
15) One night of peace by New kids on the block - This came out a couple of years ago I believe. Although I think we should have more than one night of peace, I think it still has a great message. Audio here
Hornable mention: This young lady from this season of America's got talent has an amazing voice. She got the golden buzzard but couldn't go on because her cancer has come back. She battled it once before and beat it but it came back and is taking a toll on her. Hell, even Simon Cowell started to get choked up when talking to her via video. Anyways, she did a song of her own called It's okay. I don't remember her real name but she goes by Nightbird. Here is the audio of her song: Click here
I know there are more positive songs out there that the world needs to hear or that we need to hear about ourselves but this is what came to mind when I thought about doing this list.
There are a few sayings I want to close out with:
From Janet Jackson's Rhythm Nation album: "In complete darkness we are all the same. It's only our knowledge and wisdom that separates us, don't let your eyes deceive you."
Anonymous about just getting along: "People just really need to to chill the fuck out. We're floating in space on a giant rock that we can't leave. Look at the stars or something, stop being so awful"
Another anonymous about equal rights: "Equal rights for others does not mean less rights for you. It's not pie."
