Top Ten Songs That Will Turn You from Depressed to Happy

The Top Ten
1 America - Simon and Garfunkel

'It took me four days to hitchhike from Saginaw, I've come to look for America.. '
'Counting the cars in the New Jersey turnpack they've all come to look for America.. '

I don't care the lyrics. It's titled America. I would still be depressed.

"... Kathy I'm lost I said, though I knew she was sleeping,
I'm empty and aching and I don't know why..."

2 Looking for Space - John Denver
3 Morning Has Broken - Cat Stevens
4 Goodbye Yellow Brick Road - Elton John
5 Mexico - James Taylor

No. It would make me super depressed. Mexico has killed my from the inside out.

6 Scenes from an Italian Restaurant - Billy Joel

"I'll meet you any time you want, in our Italian restaurant."

7 Just Like a Woman - Bob Dylan

Depressed to "happy"? Do you know this song?
"It was rainin from fhe first and I was shim of thirst so I came in here /. And your long time curse hurts but what's worse is this pain in here / I can't stay in here / Ain't it clear that I just don't fit / I believe it's time for us to quit / When we meet again, introduced as friends / Please don't let on that you knew me when / I was hungry and it was your world /... but she breaks just like a little girl". Joyous! 😜

8 The Year of the Cat - Al Stewart
9 I'd Really Love to See You Tonight - England Dan and John Ford Coley
10 Path of Glory - Demons & Wizards

This amazing song is exactly about that - the character turns from depressed to strong and happy.
You can feel that in the music and lyrics.

"So many times it's hopeless, dark and gray
No way out
And other times, it's hope that saves the day"

"The way out
A sea of life so peaceful and serene
The path of life lies open wide for me

Come join the path of glory
Leave all your fear behind"

The Contenders
11 Mother Nature's Son - John Denver

Nice upbeat cover of the Beatle's original.
McCartney's arrangement on the White Album was more low-key and contemplative than the bright lyrics deserve.

12 Happy Together - The Turtles
13 Home - Gym Class Heroes
14 Ain't It Fun - Paramore
15 Shake It Off - Taylor Swift
16 I Really Don't Care - Demi Lovato

I love this song! I'm not a huge Demi Lovato fan though.

17 Anaconda - Nicki Minaj

Why do idiots keep adding songs like this to lists like this?

What the heck? Who would add this horrible song on here?

18 Don't Stop Me Now - Queen
19 Top of the World - Carpenters
20 Rain on Me - Lady Gaga & Ariana Grande
21 Changes - David Bowie

I have a deep connection with this song, and always lifts my spirits.

22 My Back Pages - The Byrds

"I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now"
