Top Ten Songs to Listen to When You're Having a Bad Day

A playlist for those times when black clouds are hanging over your head.
The Top Ten
1 What a Wonderful World - Jackie Evancho

And the Louis Armstrong original. Both are perfect to listen to when you're gloomy.

Jackie simply has the most beautiful singing voice in the world.

Jackie reminds us that we have a lot to be thankful for.

Great choice I think.

2 Bridge Over Troubled Water - Jackie Evancho

From her performance at Cirque du Soleil founder Gil Laliberté's charity gala "One Night for ONE DROP 2013. Performed in the "O" Theater at the Bellagio Resort in Las Vegas. See the YouTube video. Amazing.

Sorry guys, but this young lady's voice takes it to a higher place...

3 Here Comes the Sun - The Beatles

That's what people on the East Coast are listening to when there's a blizzard. Luckily, in California, it's almost always sunny. However, we have a drought, so a nice rain shower would be nice.

What can I say? If this doesn't brighten your mood, you're beyond help.

Doo doo doo doo!

4 Anthem - Iced Earth

"Torn asunder, our destiny is in sight
This is the anthem to celebrate your life

We have the power make our lives what they are to be
Reconnect with our humanity
Transcend to a higher place, accepting reality
You are the key to the life you seek"

5 Our Loved Ones - Volbeat

"You open up but what you gain is another hole
Reaching out for a hand and I know
The fear of losing all the trust that it craves
And feel that parts of you are never coming back

I used to think that life was ugly and a mess
Well I was right but what else to do other than your best".

6 I Am - Theocracy

"I am the parent's love, unchanging, unconditional and pure
I am the loyal friend whose heart will never let you down
I am the hand that pulls you back into the boat before you drown"

7 Two Weeks - Grizzly Bear
8 Happy Together - The Turtles
9 Happy Days - Brian Wilson

Typical Brian Wilson goofiness, taken to an extreme.

10 Lookin' Out My Back Door - Creedence Clearwater Revival
The Contenders
11 Strike - Primal Fear

This song is an anti-depressant. Caffeine machine. Adrenaline injection. Gives you energy to fight and build self-confidence no matter what happened to you.

12 Time to Chill - DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince
13 Don't Stop Me Now - Queen
14 Sympathy for the Devil - The Rolling Stones
15 Rising Force - Yngwie

"Searching my soul now I find something else
I take my life in my hands
Through the gates of Heaven to the altars of Hell
The power is at my command

The lightning strikes cracking the night
It feels like never before
Thunder and spark in the heart of the dark
I feel a rising force"

Spirited and rousing performance!

16 Space - Lil Wyte
17 For the Longest Time - Billy Joel
18 Waterloo Sunset - The Kinks

This is one of those oddities; a huge hit in the UK, but failed to even chart in the USA.

This song has a very calming effect on me.

19 Better - Brian McKnight
20 Slice of Heaven - Dave Dobbyn and the Herbs
21 The Throne - Blind Guardian
22 Give a Little Bit - Supertramp
23 Come on Get Higher - Matt Nathanson
24 Path of Glory - Demons & Wizards
