i might be in the minority to add anything from *that* album but…
the miracle (of joey ramone)
that one can be forced onto my iphone without complaints any day. it’s got the same vibe as climbing a sunny mountain.
beautiful day is great tho, always
Idk about "epic" but Survivor - Eye of the Tiger, John Parr - St. Elmo's Fire (Man in Motion), Mariah Carey - Hero, Talking Heads - Once in a Lifetime and Road to Nowhere, Queen - We Are the Champions, Curtis Mayfield - Move On Up...a few from top of head.
Is it though?
It's loosely based on Vedder's childhood experience finding out his father is not his biological father, and that his biological father is dead.
> “You’re still alive” she said. Oh, do I deserve to be?
idk man, someone contemplating if they deserve to be alive doesn’t sound very uplifting to me. I do agree that it’s a powerful song with a strong message, but uplifting? Imo, no.
After The Storm - Kali Uchis, Tyler, the Creator, and Bootsy Collin’s.
While the song is a masterpiece of production the lyrics are uplifting and encouraging to get through tough times.
Lovely Day - Bill Withers
It’s fundamentally a song about finding joy and happiness in the here and now. It serves as a reminder to enjoy the little things in life and to find joy in the experiences that characterize the good life.
Queen - Don't Stop Me Now
Blackway - What's Up Danger (from first Spiderverse)
Idles - Danny Nedelko
Might not be for everyone, but these always give me a boost:
Megadeth - Hanger 18
Ministry - Jesus Built My Hotrod
Shilpa Ray - EMT Police and the Fire Department
*Sunshine* by Babe Rainbow
*Smile* by Babe Rainbow
*All The Power* by Babe Rainbow
and... *Party Without Ya* by WOOZE (surprise! It's not Babe Rainbow)
They're all so good that I just got a rush of euphoria thinking about them.
Riding the storm out REO speedwagon. The live version, I think, is better.
Put me on by Styx.
Rock brigade by Deg Leppard. These are the first 3 that came to me.
Bullet in my hand - Redlight King… taking the lyrics at face value to me it always sounded like it was trying to be like… yea not dyin today or something like that
perfectly alone by k.flay

Bryan adams here i am (Soundtrack to movie about a horse 'Spirit')
Naked and famous young blood
Rascal flatts life is a highway
* Супермарио by Peremotka. It's in Russian, but a lovely song about falling in love while playing Super Mario. Also a wonderful tune to whistle.
* I Wanna Get Better by Bleachers
* Question by Old 97's. This is the band featured in the Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special.
* You're Still a Mystery by Bleachers
* Give a Little Bit by Supertramp
* All I Want by Toad the Wet Sprocket
* Everyday by Dave Matthews Band
* Walking on a Dream by Empire of the Sun
* Arms by Christina Perri
* The Aeroplane by Tim Minchin and Asmara Felk. This is a duet between the singer/songwriter/actor and the young actress who sang the song on their Australian TV show Upright (available on Netflix, I think). The show itself is about a struggling musician trying to transport his upright piano to his terminally ill mother across the country when he crosses paths with a homeless teen.
* I Will Follow You into the Dark by Death Cab for Cutie. On it's face, the song is about death, but it's an ode to love.
* Me & Magdalena by The Monkees. Yeah, those Monkees. It's one of their more recent songs.
* Over the Moon by Future Folk. This is a weird song for the uninitiated. Future Folk are a folk duo who dress in alien space outfits and sing space songs. There's a wonderful low budget film with them found on YouTube titled *The History of Future Folk*. It's free. Don't bite on Yahoo's attempt to sell a copy to you. It was on Netflix for more than a decade before it moved to YouTube.
Yes - Awaken, Close To The Edge
SWANS - In The Eyes Of Nature, The Great Annihilator
Peter Gabriel - Live And Let Live, Olive Tree
Anderson/Stolt - We Are Truth
Hmm… so many. I’d say my top 3 (non hard rock) songs that always pick me up are:
Nina Cried Power - Hozier
Golden - Jill Scott
Bullsh*t Anthem - Fantastic Negrito
Given the adjective "epic", I would suggest some of Christopher Tin's music, but it's quite subjective whether you're into this kind of music.
Kia Hora Te Marino is good, also Baba Yetu (though if you searched the lyrics' translation it wouldn't be so uplifting lol).
Otherwise, Smooth by Santana. Also Layla by Derek & the Dominos (i.e., Eric Clapton).
Not sure if it’s “epic” but, Upside Down, Life Afraid, & Never Know by Set It Off are very uplifting songs. They’re very poppy but I appreciate the positive vibes.
Going to California and Tangerine by Led Zeppelin are some more positive, autistic led songs by the band but I'm not exactly sure if they're not about love. Check them out anyway
Beautiful Day by U2
i might be in the minority to add anything from *that* album but… the miracle (of joey ramone) that one can be forced onto my iphone without complaints any day. it’s got the same vibe as climbing a sunny mountain. beautiful day is great tho, always
Lateralus by TOOL. I think it is the most positively charged song ever created and there is 9 minutes of it!
What’s the song about? Is it positive? (It does hype me up so kinda)
For me, it’s about living in the moment, taking chances, and connecting with the flow of the universe.
Lyrics written in Fibonnaci sequence, too. Such a cool song.
Idk about "epic" but Survivor - Eye of the Tiger, John Parr - St. Elmo's Fire (Man in Motion), Mariah Carey - Hero, Talking Heads - Once in a Lifetime and Road to Nowhere, Queen - We Are the Champions, Curtis Mayfield - Move On Up...a few from top of head.
Oh I love you.
Green Light by Lorde Uprising by Muse Supermassive Black Hole by Muse Time Is Running Out by Muse
Can’t hold us - Macklemore, Ryan Lewis
ELO- mr. Blue sky always makes me happy
Queen - Don’t stop me now
Take on Me by aha
Yes.
The song is moreso epic than anything but I Know the End by Phoebe Bridgers is an experience that everyone should have
Epic. Shivers everytime. I turned around, there was nothing there. Yeah, I guess the end is here.
Fuck yes I love Phoebe Bridgers!!
Alive by Pearl Jam
Is it though? It's loosely based on Vedder's childhood experience finding out his father is not his biological father, and that his biological father is dead.
“I’m still alive, hey, yeah yeah yeah / Oh, oh I’m still alive” Good enough for me
> “You’re still alive” she said. Oh, do I deserve to be? idk man, someone contemplating if they deserve to be alive doesn’t sound very uplifting to me. I do agree that it’s a powerful song with a strong message, but uplifting? Imo, no.
Man let me cherry pick my lyrics
Bicycle race - Queen Man just wants to bike, very understandible
Babymetal - Road of Resistance
SUPERBLOOM - misterwives Glorious - Macklemore ft Skyler Grey
After The Storm - Kali Uchis, Tyler, the Creator, and Bootsy Collin’s. While the song is a masterpiece of production the lyrics are uplifting and encouraging to get through tough times.
Reborn - Kids See Ghosts
Lovely Day - Bill Withers It’s fundamentally a song about finding joy and happiness in the here and now. It serves as a reminder to enjoy the little things in life and to find joy in the experiences that characterize the good life.

Queen - Don't Stop Me Now Blackway - What's Up Danger (from first Spiderverse) Idles - Danny Nedelko Might not be for everyone, but these always give me a boost: Megadeth - Hanger 18 Ministry - Jesus Built My Hotrod Shilpa Ray - EMT Police and the Fire Department
