I want to create a playlist that will cause my mood to lift whenever I listen to it. Any suggestions? What's the most inspirational song you've ever heard?
If you want to feel all Zen I recommend anything nature based like sounds from the rainforest or waterfalls. Just about anything by Enya should work too.

Ohh, that's a tough question. Everyone gets inspired by different things. I find "Fight Song" by Rachel Platten to be a super catchy, uplifting song that makes me want to dance around. But if pop music isn't your thing, that might not work for you.

It all depends, Tikki. Everyone gets in better moods from different kinds of music. Just to get a better idea of what you like, what songs do you already have on your playlist?
"Twist and Shout" by The Beatles is something I've noticed puts a lot of people in a good mood. I also find The Beach Boys to be pretty generic happy music.
I agree that different people have different types of music that makes them feel good. There are times when I want to cry in my beer and I choose some sad country stuff. Happy time requires a totally different vibe.
Is anxiety a mood? If so, this song always calms me down. I can be very competitive Monday through Monday, but this little ditty sets me back down to earth:
Try "Jessie" by Joshua Kadison. They say he wrote it for his then girfriend Sarah Jessica Parker. This was back in the 90's when people wrote very good love songs.

I like that song. I had no idea it was about Sarah Jessica Parker...or that she ever dated Joshua. For some reason, I can't seem to recall a time when she wasn't married to Matthew Broderick.
"Don't Stop Believin'" by Journey usually does the trick for me.
