Remember a couple months ago when I gave you my picks for the most beautiful songs of all time? Well, now I'm giving you my list of music that gets me going in my day. I won't be going into detail about each song on this list like I did my last one--primarily because it's such a longer list--but each of these songs get my mood and my brain on the positive side and amp me up to wanting to achieve great things. This list has even turned a depressed mood into a positive, energetic one. Some of these motivate me with their lyrics, some with just the music itself, but all in all, this is what I recommend to people if you want to get your day going right:
