Trust The Light - KNOWER One of those “I’m dealing with heavy shit and need some help getting out of bed” songs. Not traditionally “motivational-sounding”, but idk it works for me.
And probably most of the Undertale OST. Idk I put a lot of emotional weight behind a lot of those tracks.
The Shaggs - Wheels
X GON GIVE IT TO YA
only partway joking.
This is my victory song
Love Sensation - Loleatta Holloway
Star Love - Cheryl Lyn
Dance What 'Cha Wanna - Loleatta Holloway
Souvenirs - Voyage
The Main Theme from Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and Breath of the Wild
Holding Out For A Hero - Jennifer Saunders (Shrek 2 Soundtrack)
Dvorak - Carnival Overture https://youtu.be/Hv2F_DGKPCY?is=0mJy9LtczVhdtbcE
It’s more than a little on the nose, but Jupiter, the Bringer of Jollility by Holst, especially this abridged arrangement, is something I reach for at the end of a rough day. Usually stops me from going to bed mad, or in a thought spiral.
That it’s a relic of the flash mob fad from however many years ago doesn’t hurt, either. A spoonful of ironic nostalgia helps the medicine go down.
I like the synthwave playlists on streaming services. Keeps me in the zone while reading scifi and lifts my mood when I’m not reading
Beware - Death Grips
I could put together a list of instrumental house music that I find uplifting, but not sure if that’s the sort of thing you want?
If they are good, please share them too
Hello again - ok, here we go, made you a 50-track playlist of almost entirely instrumental stuff that I like and which make me smile when they come on. There may be the odd small bit of voice or whatever, but not full lyrics.
I started off doing just house, but ended up with a range of stuff, some techno, acid, etc. Hopefully there’s something you enjoy.
The tracks were randomised before I made the playlist, so they may hang well together or not :-)

Actually, I’m a musicologist from Leipzig (Germany) the town “Where Music Was Invented”, and I’ve been studying this hypothesis for the last 45 years. Alas, I could neither proof it right nor wrong, so that’s 45 years of effort down the drain, I didn’t get tenure as a result, and I now have to fill the regale at Aldi to make ends meet. It’s quite fucking frustrating. As you can well imagine, I hardly listen to music these days, so I can’t provide you with an answer, sorry.
If it was neither right or wrong, does it mean there are subcategories or other factors that are affecting it?
