Songs that'll cheer you up instantly

I think we all can use a little light at the moment - especially now that it's soon time for some seriously studying and some scary, scary exams.

Where do I want to go with this? I simply want to show you a few of my favorite musical songs I always listen to when I'm having a bad day. Or when I feel like I need a little epicness in my life. Also, they'll be in random order since there's so many good ones out there! Yeephe!

Matilda: The Musical is one of my recent favorite soundtracks, and this song, When I Grow Up, is simply brilliant. I love how talented these kids are and how innocent the song is!

I think I've mentioned before but Dancing Through Life from Wicked is definitely one of the songs I always put on whenever I'm feeling a little sad. Just listen to the wise words of Fiyero and school won't matter anymore.

Sierra Boggess is one of my all time favorite actresses when it comes to musical theatre and her rendition of Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again from Phantom of the Opera is nothing but absolutely breathtaking - it brings it to a whole new level! I aspire to be her one day.

Feeling a little down? Listen to Totally Fucked from Spring Awakening! The energy, the beat, the lyrics - I am in love! 

I remember getting home from the cinema where I've watched Hairspray and not being able to get Without Love out of my head. This is still one of my favorites and I feel so lucky I've actually seen it being performed live! 

I actually always put on some Newsies whenever I need a little motivation or just something to smile over. These songs are the best and Carrying the banner is one of my favorites from the soundtrack! One day - one fine day - I'll watch it live and cry because I'm so happy!


If there's something that's fun it's definitely The Book of Mormon and this song might be the best shower-song you could ever choose. Listen to it, watch Andrew Ranells cuteness and fall in love with I Believe.


Next to Normal is perfect and so is I've Been! It's impossible for me to count all the times I've been standing in front of my mirror rocking out to this one.


And last but not least, 

Seasons of Love from RENT. I don't know how much I need to say about it, other than it is freaking perfect and beautiful and so, so uplifting. It makes me want to embrace everything life can offer me!

Do you have any favorite songs?

    1. Ud fra de klip på youtube, jeg har set af den, så ser den altså virkelig, virkelig flot ud - og har fået ekstremt gode anmeldelser! Og så er de piger, der spiller Matilda, altså virkelig virkelig dygtige. Den spiller vist i London i øjeblikket ;)
