I need an uplifting song!
Posted by woodface on 15 October 2011 - 6:41pm.
My other half has an interview next week and I would appreciate some suggestions relating to uplifting, aspirational reach for the stars type song which is not naff nor needlessly obscure. Also, no swearing. The challenge is there, is the word massive up for it?

I'd say Eminem - Lose Yourself
but there might be some swearing!
This video promises to be clean & it lists the words so you can check carefully before use.
I've always had a soft spot for this
whenever a little positivity is required. Not sure it fits your particular need but as a cynical old sod occasionally I need to be reminded of my inner softy!

not really lyrically apt
but I always found this song by the occasionally derided Embrace uplifting
Ashes
All the best to your wife!
United States of Electronica - "It Is On"
No, I'd never heard of it either, but it is pretty joyous:

This always brightens my day
Teenage Fanclub - Ain't That Enough
Or perhaps this is what you had in mind...
Cake - The Distance
Aretha
But what sort of music does she like? No point in an uplifting song that grates.
Ian McNabb - You Must Be Prepared to Dream
"You're unique - one of a kind..."
This works for me
Best of luck for the interview :)
An uplifting song, you said?
Coming right up…
A very old friend of mine
always recommended The The's 'This Is The Day' for pre-interview listening.
Good luck.
Coldplay at their uplifting best
Viva La Vida at T in the Park 2011
Oh behave!
You still can't see the join
None more uplifting
"Time Of My Life"
NOBODY
puts woodface in the corner.
Love it, nearly spat out my
Love it, nearly spat out my wine! You funny people
This hits the spot for me...

The strong give up and move on...
If yer up needs a lift...
this is the one for you
No, no, no...
...the only way is... Long Tall Sally by Little Richard. If that doesn't make her feel positive and uplifted and bring a smile to her face then nothing will. And it's such FUN!!
more Aretha
You Make Feel Like A Natural Woman.
I'm not a woman and natural only in certain circumstances but this is just calming and spirit raising. always
To clarify
It will be part of a 'presentation' to a young audience (hence the no swearing). I am thinking maybe a bit of soul? I am drawing a total blank at the moment.
Sounds of Blackness
I'm Going All The Way
How about one of the biggies ?
Thanks
This prompted me to dig out the 68 Comebabck DVD and we are now having an Elvis day in our household...................
A couple of years ago, immediately before a job interview,
my girlfriend listened to this song.
(Gomez If I Ask You Nicely)
She got the job.
Royksopp's Happy Up Here...perfect!

I think this might fit the bill
Not willfully obscure, certainly soulful, uplifting, no swearing - and I think most people know it but they don't know that they know it.
Jimmy Cliff - You Can Get It If You Really Want
Jimmy Cliff
take your pick......
Absolutely spot on! How did
Absolutely spot on! How did I miss this.
