Help me find songs for my 2025-2029 Playlist

I’m looking for songs from any era or genre that will get met through the next four years and beyond, that I can listen to at the start of the day or when things are starting to feel hopeless, to help lift my mood. Thanks for your suggestions!

Once, when I was very, very sad and feeling dispirited (the kind of dispirited where you sit in a cramped shower for far too long just because warmth is a primal comfort), I found a shared iTunes folder. Being nosy, I listened to this stranger’s music and found a song called “Sunny” by Boney M. That song, with its hopeful lyrics, upbeat sound, and absurd number of key changes, is still on my comfort playlist.

The Kinks have some silly songs about getting away from the annoyances of civilization and politics, notably Apeman and Animal Farm, both of which I find comforting to play on guitar in these times.

Best answer: Just listened to Gloria Gaynor’s I Will Survive and it really helped me today.

Paprika by Japanese Breakfast. It’s a rush!
Summer Child by Dar Williams
And maybe a little Sparks. (and a little more, and a little more…)
