It’s no secret that music plays an important role in our moods and behaviour. Whether you want to play a sad song and peep out the window like they do in those music videos, or just dance your heart out to the latest numbers, there is music for every occasion. A playlist is a great way to queue up the music you want to listen to as per your mood and can serve as motivation to even get things done. We asked our team members to suggest the songs they like to kickstart their day with, and here are the suggestions:
1. Manike Mage Hithe, Yohani ft Swkang
Currently trending, the rendition of this song sung by Sri Lankan artist Yohani has taken the Internet by storm, and how. Her soothing voice, along with the peppy beats make for the perfect soothing combination to begin your day, as you sip from your cuppa.
2. Levitating, Dua Lipa
Another trending song from Dua Lipa—who is known for her pop numbers—has what it takes to instantly lift your spirits. The groovy beats and the sassy lyrics coupled with her voice make for the perfect recipe to get you out of bed. Levitate your way to an energetic day.
3. Golden, Harry Styles
Is there a better way to begin your day, than by Harry Styles telling you that you’re Golden? We think not! His voice can transport you to driving along a scenic route. And let’s face it, a long drive with beautiful sights, and Harry Styles playing in the background is the escape we all need.
4. Stand By Me, Ben E King
An oldie, but also a goldie, this song brings about the right amount of mush and all the happy feelings. Imagine listening to it on a cloudy morning; we say, that’s an ideal way to begin the day.
5. Fix You, Coldplay
A mellow suggestion, compared to the rest, but the lyrics and the guitar solo are sure to fill you up with hope and happiness, that things are bound to get better. If you feel a little down, always remember that lights will indeed guide you home.
6. Catch And Release, Matt Simons (Deepend Remix)
A case of a remix being better than the original, this song reminds you of your “happy place”, wherever you might envision it to be. The calming vocals and the mellow beats help you relax so that you can begin your day with a clear head.
7. Neele Neele Ambar Par, Kishore Kumar (from Kalakaar)
We are sure you’ll agree that there is no one else like Kishore Da! This evergreen number has been a part of our parents’ playlists, and still finds a way to ours in 2021. His soulful voice is sure to help you begin your day on a relaxed note.
8. Love You Zindagi, Jasleen Royal (from Dear Zindagi)
The lyrics of this song talk about bidding farewell to all your worries and enjoy life in the present moment. A message we tend to forget on most days. So, it’s no surprise that this song finds itself on our mood booster playlist; we all need those friendly reminders every once in a while, don’t we?
9. Electric Love, Borns
Imagine someone crooning how magical you are. Fills you up with happiness, right? That’s what this song does to us. We recommend listening to it in the shower and have a mini-concert while you’re at it.
10. Dheere Se, The Yellow Diary
Another suggestion that tips towards mellow songs, this number from the indie band has become popular over the years. The soothing vocals, along with the piano makes for a great combination, which is bound to put a smile on your face. And who wouldn’t want to begin their day with a huge smile?
