This is a playlist I made today for those times when I just feel...weird. I'm in a weird mood where I may not necessarily be sad, but I'm not happy. When I start to think more about the things I'm not doing than the things I've done. More about the people I haven't met than the great ones I know. It's a mood I'm in a lot.
All of these songs make me feel good in some way. Some of them because the lyrics speak to me (see "Amazing," "Being Good"). Some because they make me want to get up and dance around (the appropriately titled "Let's Dance to Joy Division," "High School Rock Out"). Some because they remind me I'm not the only one that feels not okay sometimes ("Not Alone," "Mad World). Some because they take me somewhere warm and safe ("Lights," "Tiny Dancer"). And some just because the sound of the singer's voice is something I love to hear (Johnny Rzeznik, I'm talking to you).
They are not in a particular order.
Hopefully, you can find something on here that makes you feel better too.
