I had depression for 8 years and am now finally better. I now finally feel happy about getting up each morning. Everything doesn't feel hopeless anymore.

But I was always dwelling on bad things in the past so listened to depressing songs, and now I want some upbeat, happy songs? (:

    My first instinct was to say "Happy" - Yo Gabba Gabba

    NEVER GONNA GIVE YOU UP.. that's always good.

    I listen to a lot of music.. so Idk lol Sorry

    I had depression problems to, so I totally get it. But some things seem happy to me that don't seem very happy to other people.

    I get depressed easy and I've always used, what I consider to be, happy music as my remedy. And it's always been dance/electronic music because I like mentally illustrating people jumping around in my head like it's some crazy club or concert:

    Here's a few of songs that keep me up:

    "In My Mind" (Axwell Mix) by Ivan Gough & Feenixpawl Ft. Georgi Kay:
    http://youtu.be/SZW7cW2QKf0?t=1m4s

    "Good Life" (Demolition Crew Remix) by OneRepublic::
    http://youtu.be/o9-SQoYzO5I

    "We Live For The Music" by Robbie Rivera:
    http://youtu.be/hEnv97vXAOY?t=10s


    There's plenty more but these are the first few that pop into my head

    This^^ I know it sounds a little nerdy but I put a cd of this stuff in the car and it totally puts me in a great place on the way to work. It was sugested in the book "the artist's way" (or one of her other books....I can't quite remember). Small thing - big result.

    Happy Boys and Girls, by Aqua. It's cheesy and it's 90s but it's still awesome. Also - Back To The 80s, Live Fast Die Young, If The World Didn't Suck, and No Party Patrol (all by Aqua - all new ones, 2011)

    In order of mention -
