Sometimes you listen to songs for the lyrics, sometimes the beat, sometimes it’s for both. Whether you need a pick me up or you’re simply in a great mood, it is important to have an appropriate playlist. Here are 10 very wholesome songs, in no particular order, to remind you of the good in the world:
1) Hackensack, by Fountains of Wayne. (https://youtu.be/Kq8ZzZDjTd4)
Hackensack is a song of well wishes and innocent wonder about the success of a childhood friend and the longing to reconnect.
2) Wasn't Expecting That, by Jamie Lawson. (https://youtu.be/Y-lI_tgQMMk)
Wasn’t Expecting That is a sweet song that by the end tugs at your heart. The song focuses on the unexpected when it comes to love: the unexpected connection, unexpected passion and life long love, and the unexpected end of the love that you never saw coming and especially never saw ending.
3) Haven't Met You Yet, by Micheal Buble. (https://youtu.be/1AJmKkU5POA)
Haven’t Met You Yet is not your typical love song. Love is not easy, and Michael Bublé decides to focus on the positive aspect of not being in a relationship, he simply has not met the love of his life yet and that is not sad or depressing, but something to be ecstatic about and something to look forward to, an adventure of sorts.
4) Storybook, by Skinny Living. (https://youtu.be/wWOIuwA9UBY)
Reminiscing is always fun! You look back at the great times and remember the wonderful people in your life. Someone may not be in your life forever but the memories that you make with them are! Storybook is a song about the good times in life and the importance of remembering those that you love.
5) You've Got Something I Need, by OneRepublic. (https://youtu.be/8_xvWdY6Gr4)
You’ve Got Something I Need is about that one person in your life who you absolutely cannot make it through life without and how their presence in your life can change your whole world.
6) Hey Julie, by Fountains of Wayne. (https://youtu.be/p1A1cmIlsyk)
Life is hard, the workforce isn’t fun, and sometimes it all feels unbearable but Hey Julie is about the one person who makes it all worthwhile, the person that you can return home to and love and appreciate and know that life is not nearly as bad as it can seem at times.
7) Simple by Florida, Georgia Line. (https://youtu.be/TuTDc9d_9yI)
Simple—the title explains the song itself, it is a song about the simplicity that is found in love!
8) A Father’s Love, by George Strait. (https://youtu.be/k2af10YlLoc)
We all know that a father’s love is unconditional, but sometimes we forget, A Father’s Love by George Strait is an important reminder that no matter what true love is unconditional!
9) Wonderwall, by Oasis. (https://youtu.be/Y7I1nCcwJP0)
Wonderwall is a simple song about how one person can change someone else's life and be the “one that saves” them.
10) Good Riddance (Time of Your Life), by Green Day. (https://youtu.be/mwnoNVOj1Fs)
Not all wholesome songs are about love, some are about how one handles that love. Much like Storybook by Skinny Living, Good Riddance by Green Day is about the memories that people create with their loved ones and it about wishing them well even when they have grown apart and are parting ways.
Honorable mentions:
1) Leaving on a Jet Plane by John Denver (https://youtu.be/19ToC8pQrCY)
Leaving on a Jet Plane is about love, growth, reconciliation, and hope for the future.
2) Little Wonders by Rob Thomas (https://youtu.be/HhZ1BdMtw_Q)
Little Wonders is a classic from “Meet the Robinsons” and is a song of the little wonders in life, the ones that people do not expect or even times do not intend, but they are the ones that they must deal with and make the most out of them and they often times become the largest blessings in life.
