If you’re feeling a bit down, music can often help. So, we thought we would give you a round-up of the top five songs to lift your spirits.

1.  Don’t stop Believin’ – Journey – Singing your heart out is often a great cure, and this is certainly a good choice if you want to do that. DON’T STOP BELIEVINNNNNN.

2. Happy – Pharrell Williams – While this is incredibly cheesy, you won’t be able to stop yourself from feeling great moments after the song starts.

3. Uptown Funk – Bruno Mars – This is another great upbeat song, and you probably won’t be able to stop yourself from dancing along. Just watching the music video is likely to help.

4. I Know There’s Gonna Be (Good Times) – Jamie XX – The title says it all really. With a great beat, it may not be a typical upbeat song but it will leave you moving your body side to side.

5. Best Day of My Life – American Authors – A great video to accompany an even better song – this really is worth a listen. Close your eyes, picture the best day of your life, and sing along.

Hopefully listening to those five songs will have brightened your spirits slightly. If not, just play your favourite song on repeat and dance around your room – believe us, it’ll work.

    4/5 If you love a good theme, Las Iguanas is a restaurant you might like to try. The Latin American-style chain has restaurants all over the country, but I recently popped into the one on Grey Street just down from the Theatre Royal. As always, the restaurant itself is pristine and the atmosphere is super […]

  • Books Book Review: 1984 by George Orwell
    1/5 1984 is always cited as one of the best books ever written. It’s supposed to be intelligent, sharp and profound. Instead, I found it to be dull, rambling and unremarkable. Oh, and rampantly sexist. George Orwell was clever – I’ve read his essays and I like them. But 1984? It was hard to believe […]
