Hi Parisa,
very interesting question. I think you listen more to songs which reflect the situation you are in. For example if you are love sick, you tend to listen to the songs describing this situation.
So, not the songs influence us, just the other way round.
There is a greek song DINATA DINATA by Eleveria Arvantaki;
I did not really understand each single word of these lyrics but the native speakers told me, that the meassage of this song is: everything is possible. And when you listen to the song, you can feel its strength.
Another one: MENSCH by Herbert Groenemeyer
So, I´ll be back again, but I have to think a little bit to find more songs with positive messages. ....
Bye, Tahira

I have moved Tahira's post from that another thread to here.
Double posts create confusion, so I'll close the other one down now.  |

Tahira has right, the song Dinata-dinata by Eleftheria Arvanitaki is very positive. There's also another version of this song sang by Antique.
I'll add two more greek songs by Onirama, O horos (klise ta matia) and Mia zoi toso mikri. Every time that I hear these songs my mood changes.
Arvanitaki - Dinata-Dinata
Antique - Dinata-Dinata
Onirama - O horos
Onirama - Mia zoi toso mikri

Hello everyone! I can think of at least two songs that have a positive message from Argentinian artists:
1) Color Esperanza, by Diego Torres
YouTube - diego torres- color esperanza
2) Positiva, by Erica García
YouTube - Erica GarcÃ*a - Positiva
(these two songs are for two different kinds of audiences, so the message is given in a different way, but it is sort of the same) |

Hi Everyone!! I'm so happy that you answered!!
I really appreciate it.
From now on I would like to wake up to 'Beautiful morning' every day  Thank you lollipop!
maria_gr, I found an Antique remix version of Dinata Dinata and it's really cool. About Onirama I liked the music but I couldn't find a translation, the same with Mensch. I'll keep trying.
Pau_GyG, I have Color Esperanza already, which I think is a very inspiring song, and as you said, Positiva is for a way different audience but I did like it too.
Dear Edmond33, your recommendations are very interesting, I think those are really strong topics. And like Ferrat's song says, it's important to write about it so people will not forget. If you want to start a new thread I'll be happy to join. I know about a few really good songs along those lines in Spanish. However, the songs that I'm looking for are positive songs that will cheer me up and make me feel better about my day. More like 'Imagine'. Thanks a lot!!
Thanks Everyone!!
And Tahira, thanks to you too!!
I have something for you to consider.
You are right, we tend to listen to music depending on our mood or our situation...
But, let's say a loved one left you... my point is that if you keep dwelling on it and listening to sad songs, or song that will remind you of this person, probably you will be crying a lot and it will take you longer to get over it.
But, if you set your mind in a more positive way, and listen to music according to that, I'm not saying it's going to be easy, but I think you would get over that easiER and fastER.
Like this song you mention, 'I will survive', or Cher's 'Believe' and 'Strong enough'.
What do you guys think?
What I can say is that since January 2006 I've putting a lot of effort in being a happier person, and my efforts include listening to more positive songs (and singing along when I'm by myself) and it's been working wonders for me.
Of course I listen to all kinds of music, and I can appreciate the songs, but I'm trying to be more conscious and analytic about the music I listen to.
Gotta go. Thanks again!!! |

This year, is gonna be incredible
This year, is gonna be the one

Dear Parisa!
I have this one song, that suits well to cheer up
Very inspiring POSITIVE lyrics
DB Boulevard - Point Of View
I don't have a cent
Will I pay my rent
And even my car doesn't work
Me and my man, he's the one
To die for, we have split up
Can't you see, life's easy
If you consider things
From another point of view
Ahhh, ah-ha yeah
In another way
From another point of view
Yeah, yeah, yeah, ahhh, ah-ha yeah
In another way
From another point of view
I see life and lights
All the colours of the world
So beautiful won't you come with me
I've seen birds and trees
All the flowers of the world
So beautiful won't you come with me
Ahhh, ah-ha yeah
In another way
From another point of view
Can't you see, life's easy
If you consider things
From another point of view
Ahhh, ah-ha yeah
In another way
From another point of view
Here is this happy song in video: YouTube - db boulevard point of view
Sometimes, when i am in bad mood, i find this song, and then i sing very loud to it  For me personally, it works good... |

you gotta be
Des'ree - You Gotta Be
Listen as your day unfolds
Challenge what the future holds
Try and keep your head up to the sky
Lovers, they may cause you tears
Go ahead release your fears
Stand up and be counted
Don't be ashamed to cry
You gotta be...
You gotta be bad, you gotta be bold, you gotta be
wiser
You gotta be hard, you gotta be tough, you gotta be
stronger
You gotta be cool, you gotta be calm, you gotta stay
together
All I know, all I know, love will save the day
Hear all what your mother said
Read the books your father read
Try to solve the puzzles in your own sweet time
Some may have more cash than you
Others take a different view
My oh my, yea, eh, ee
You gotta be bad, you gotta be bold, you gotta be
wiser
You gotta be hard, you gotta be tough, you gotta be
stronger
You gotta be cool, you gotta be calm, you gotta stay
together
All I know, all I know, love will save the day
Time ask no questions, it goes on without you
Leaving you behind if you can't stand the pace
The world keeps on spinning
can't stop it, if you tried to
This best part is danger staring you in the face
(wo0o0o)
Listen as your day unfolds
Challenge what the future holds
Try and keep your head up to the sky
Lovers, they may cause you tears
Go ahead release your fears
My oh my yea, ye, ee
You gotta be bad, you gotta be bold, you gotta be
wiser
You gotta be hard, you gotta be tough, you gotta be
stronger
You gotta be cool, you gotta be calm, you gotta stay
together
All I know, all I know, love will save the day
yea, yea, YEA!
You gotta be bad, you gotta be bold, you gotta be
wiser
You gotta be hard, you gotta be tough, you gotta be
stronger
You gotta be cool, you gotta be calm, you gotta stay
together
All I know, all I know, love will save the day
yea yea...
Got to be bold
Got to be bad
Got to be wise
Do or never say
Got to be hard
Not too too hard
All I know is love will save the day
You gotta be bad, you gotta be bold, you gotta be
wiser
You gotta be hard, you gotta be tough, you gotta be
stronger
You gotta be cool, you gotta be calm, you gotta stay
together

ONE WAY by THE LEVELLERS
There's only one way of Life
And that's your own
My father when I was younger
Took me up to the hill
That I looked down on to the city smog
Above the factory spill
He said this is where I come
When I want to be free
Well he never was in his lifetime
But these words stuck with me
I ran from all of this
And climbed that highest hill
And looked down on my life
Beneath the factory spill
I looked down onto my life
As the family disagree
Then to all my friends on the starting line
Their wages off to chase
and all my friends and all their jobs
And all the bloody waste
CHORUS
I grow up, learned to love and laugh
Circled A's on the underpass
But the noise we thought would never stop
Died a death as the punks grow up
And we choked on all our dreams
We wrestled with our fears
Running through the heartless concrete streets
Chasing our ideas
And the problems of the world
Won't be solved by this guitar
And they won't stop coming either
By the life I've had so far
And the bright lights of my home town
Won't be getting any dimmer
Though their calling has receded now
Like some old distant singer
And they don't seem so appealing
To the eyes of this poor sinner
CHORUS
