Songs that helped to get us through lockdown | A feel good playlist

29 July 2020

Music was a massive saviour for me during lockdown. When I'm feeling unmotivated, a bit down about the world and need a pick me up, I always turn to music. Whether that's a bit of ABBA or Harry Styles, my mood pretty much instantly changes from bad to good. 
As you may have seen from previous playlist posts on my other blog, my taste is quite varied as I can like a song that is old or in the current charts but as long as it's a feel good tune then it ticks all the boxes.
I also took part in the 30 day song challenge created by Zoella so if you saw those on my instagram stories, it might be quite similar to this! I rediscovered so many songs I hadn't heard for years and now can't get the lyrics out of my head. Please tell me I'm not the only one whose brain is about 80% song lyrics haha. 
Be prepared for the most random mixture but listen to any of these and you'll be holding a hairbrush for a microphone before you even know it. 




1. Dancing Queen- ABBA 
My number 1 song forever.

2. Bring it all back- S Club 7 
I will always ask Alexa to play this if my mood needs a boost.

3. Style- Taylor Swift 

4. Shotgun- George Ezra 
(politely asking if we can rewind back to summer 2018 with the world cup and my first trip to portugal, this song was on all the time and I miss it)

5. Star Girl- Mcfly

6. Mr. Blue Sky- Electric Light Orchestra 

7. Adore you- Harry Styles 
(I love it too but this one is for my mum, played on Alexa almost everyday and repeated 4 times everytime)

8. Heartbreak weather- Niall Horan

9. Black and white- Niall Horan
(totes emosh)

14. Yellow- Coldplay

15. We built this city- Starship 
(or on sausage rolls, if you know you know)



16. All my friends- Byron Langley

17. Blinding Lights- The weeknd 
I can't listen to this song anymore without thinking of the Tiktok dance but had to include it as it was in my head for the first 3 weeks of lockdown haha.

A lunchtime jam session with my sister will always include this, I need to polish up on the lyrics!!

19. Unwritten- Natasha Bedingfield 
(what a tune) Alexa, repeat please.

22. Treat people with kindness- Harry Styles 
(are we seeing a reoccurring theme?)

I watched the films back at the start of Lockdown and I'm obsessed all over again.

I love to run to this.

This needs no explanation.

If you're not up dancing at this point...

This playlist wouldn't be complete without a bit of Whitney and what a song to end it on.
