3 Happy Country Songs That Are Guaranteed to Boost Your Mood
1. “This Kiss” (Faith Hill)
This blushing Faith Hill song is taking the first slot on our list. It’s impossible to not feel hopeful about life when Hill is singing about love’s transformative effects. Even if a listener is not currently in love, the hope one feels for the prospect is enough to boost your mood.
It’s the way you love me
It’s a feeling like this
It’s centrifugal motion
It’s perpetual bliss
It’s that pivotal moment
It’s, ah, impossible
This kiss, this kiss
This kiss, this kiss
Cinderella said to Snow White
How does love get so off course, oh
All I wanted was a white knight
With a good heart, soft touch, fast horse
Ride me off into the sunset
Baby, I’m forever yours
2. “Days Go By” (Keith Urban)
Keith Urban issues a much-needed reminder to all of us in “Days Go By.” Days go by…So you better start livin’ right now, he sings. We all need to be reminded to live our lives to the fullest, as it’s so easy to take things for granted. This track will give you a new lease on life.
I’m changin’ lanes and talkin’ on the phone
I’m drivin’ way too fast
And the interstate’s jammed with gunners like me
Afraid of comin’ in last
But somewhere in the race we run
We’re coming undone
Days go by
I can feel them flyin’
Like a hand out the window in the wind
As the cars go by
Yeah, it’s all we’ve been given
So you better start livin’ right now
‘Cause days go by, and, ooh, ooh
3. “I Like It, I Love It” (Tim McGraw)
The melody for “I Like It, I Love It” is insatiably catchy and endlessly repeatable. We’d wager that many country fans already use this song as a quick pick-me-up. If you haven’t thought about this song as a mood booster, take this as your sign to add this to your playlist.
Now I’m holdin’ umbrellas, and opening up doors
I’m taking out the trash and I’m sweeping my floor
I’m crossing my fingers, and counting every kiss
Prayin’ that it keeps goin’ on like this
‘Cause I like it, I love it, I want some more of it
I try so hard, I can’t rise above it
I don’t know what it is ’bout that little girl’s lovin’
But I like it, I love it, I want some more of it
