Rhythm of the Night by El Debarge and pretty much any 80s song that has a buoyant, infectious beat. I call 80s music 'happy music' because it's so joyful and carefree.

I am the least religious, really anti religious, person one could meet, but I find this song by Sister Gertrude Morgan “I Am the Living Bread” to be so wonderfully celebratory and uplifting. She walked away from her life to become a bride of Christ and was a street minister and folk painter in New Orleans, using music to reach people. Warning, the tambourine was her main instrument!

Three Simon and Garfunkel songs that I can't resist: Mrs. Robinson, Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard, and The 59th Street Bridge Song (Feelin' Groovy). I always want to sing along.

Much of Natalie Merchant’s work as a solo artist as well as a Manic is quite melancholy, but this song is powerfully uplifting and joyous and perfect in celebration of those on the front lines of the current situation.

Don't so don't you worry about a thing by Stevie Wonder. And does the previous poster suggested almost any song performed by a good black mass choir about perseverance in the face of difficulty. Especially stuff in the Civil Rights era like ain't going to let nobody turn me around. In terms of traditional Gospel tunes it's hard to be a Oh Happy Day, or How I Got Over. Also, just about anything by The Staple Singers.

Although I find that a lot of those songs that used to comfort me with their talk of a better day ahead now make me cry because I realize I have ceased to believe that things will ever be good again. I sort of mourn for the time when I did. For example this gospel song which I didn't believe a word of before or after I was listening to it but for 3 minutes or so I nearly did.
