29 Songs To Make You Smile

You do not have to look very hard today online or on television to get news of gloom and doom. The technology that makes us interconnected with people from around the globe also means that it is possible for us to hear 24/7 about tragedy and hardship in the world. Sometimes it is enough to make you want to bury your head in pillows and make a multi-day retreat from society.

Instead how about filling your brain with thoughts that make you happy. It is so much easier to think clearly and make good decisions when you come from a place of positivity. And music is just the thing to get you tapping your feet and in a good frame of mind.

Check out these 29 Songs To Make You Smile. **Although many of these songs are family friendly, a few including the videos are more grown-up oriented. Please use your discretion.
