With exams just around the corner, we thought it might be productive to put together a play list of inspirational songs for our readers. Something to lighten the load if you are revising, something to sing along with when you feel like it and if you like oldies over the new-ish songs we have selected, we have you covered as well.

Oldies

David Bowie – ‘Heroes’

Anyone can be a hero in many ways – even if it is just for one day

Gloria Gaynor – ‘I Will Survive’

A real Karaoke classic which has women and men everywhere singing how ‘they don’t need no man.’

 

Queen – ‘Don’t stop me’

It’s in the name. Need I say more?

 

Journey – ‘Don’t Stop Believing’

This song encourages us to follow our dreams and never stop believing in ourselves.

 

Survivor – ‘Eye of the tiger’

This song makes everyone feel like a winner.

 

 

New-ish

Jess Glynne – ‘Don’t be so hard on yourself’

Living proof that even though we all go through our own personal hell at some point, that things will, and can, get better.

 

Flo Rida – ‘Good Feeling’

This song gives me a good feeling ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

 

Macklemore and Ryan Lewis – ‘Same Love’

Promotes equality, self-love and acceptance no matter who you are.

 

Eminem – ‘Not Afraid’

Basically a middle finger to all the people that doubted Eminem through his hard times, the lyrics encourage us to not be afraid of overcoming our demons and that we are not alone in facing them.

 

Katy Perry – ‘Firework’

“Let your colours burst” – show your true colours and be proud of who you are.
