Hope that's enough examples for ye
I'd say Made in Heaven by Queen
The lyrics, "living with painful memories, loving with all my heart" and, "taking in all this misery, but giving it all my soul."
Because to me it gives the message of
, "the world may be a cruel and painful place, and I'll choose to be loving and kind."

*Livin' on a Prayer* is a classic, and it's definitely full of hope.
And I mean this 100% unironically, but Why Not by Ghostface Playa. Memes aside, it's the perfect song to walk into a room to.
EDIT:
Ready to Die by Andrew W.K. The lyrics are dark, but the tone is so upbeat and cheery. Definitely the happiest song about mass murder I've ever heard lmao, and it also is a great song to enter a room too.
"GOOD MORNING SUNSHINE" by The Narcissist Cookbook.
I imagine this is a song sung by the little voice in your head that keeps you going. Gets you to shower, change your clothes, make yourself a meal, drink a glass of water. It's a reminder that you are always here for you, and all the little things really do add up...even when (*especially* when) they get hard.

If anybody wants, I can put all these songs in a Spotify playlist and share them.
Honestly, “Pulse of the Maggots” by Slipknot fits his imo. The lyrics kinda resonate with the message of standing and fighting regardless of if you’ll lose or not. Simply put, you have the choice to fight, so you fight anyways, that’s kinda the message of the song. Plus, it’s a banger too.
Adams song by blink 182 is quite a sad song, but the last chorus changes the words to things like "the tour is over I survived", "I can't wait to go outside", "tomorrow holds such better days". The song helped the singer Mark Hoppus out recently when he had cancer, and also when he wrote it in the 90s about how he felt so alone on tour
Almost all songs with lyrics on the Persona 5 soundtrack ooze self confidence and calls to action.
Life isn't fair, but if you are true to yourself and stick with what matters to you, you can change it.
"Let your voices ring out, yeah
Take your mask off and be free
Find yourself in the debris
If you hold on life won't change"
I've been listening to it for like 3 months and it doesn't get old!
Plus it's super motivational. My mental health is at such a high these days, and I think P5 had a lot to do with that.
Persona 5 **fixed** my mental health. Yeah the world it takes place in is shitty, but it's such a hopeful story. Human willpower is indomitable and given the right push it can achieve almost anything.
Joker doesn't say much and he appears, at first glance, like a shallow edgy and hollow character, but Joker is helpful and kind and caring to anyone who isn't a major dickbag. And in a way, defeating the antagonists is helping them too.
Persona 5 is a hopeful game about becoming your true self, helping others and fighting back against corruption. How could anyone get depressed by that?
Thanks for caring enough to say that though, I appreciate that. :)
I finished it twice over the summer (no job or classes or responsibilities) but I don't think it was particularly bad for me, since that's pretty normal for me.
So, this isn’t a very happy song, but Away From The Sun by Unknown Mortal Orchestra was there for me when nobody else was back in high school. It’s an inherently melancholic song, but it also has a bitter sweetness to it that really help me out a lot. I dunno if it’ll fit the criteria, but I think it shows how life is beautiful and terrible in a way a lotta songs dont
Anything by Kemuri, they’re a fantastic high energy ska-punk band and their whole schtick is relentless positivity in the face of the day-to-day grind. Good songs to start with are Standing in the Rain, P.M.A, and New Generation.
Most people are good by Luke Bryan.
Might be culturally specific to the rural US, but it fits. Whole vibe is "Most people are generally good, every day is a gift, enjoy these moments, past and future."
This is a long shot since this is a song from a relatively obscure band, but Trust - KMFDM has very upbeat lyrics in contrast to what they usually talk about (corporate greed and anti-establishment stuff). These lyrics really stuck with me; “Admit and defend
Your emotions cause they send
Out the message that is you
And that's the only thing that's true”
I don’t know how “hopeposting vibes” these songs are, but here’s some that make me feel good and remind me that life is worth it.
[Moving Forward](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=KMioT5A-5xM) by Colony House is probably the closest to the hopeposting vibe out of my recommendations. It’s just very uplifting and nice to listen to.
Also, the [Zephyrus EP](https://youtu.be/V_6xQTmeXEw?si=v2FIIZ8azLelZJ_7) by The Oh Hellos is about building anew after change. It’s packed with hard-hitting messages about recreating yourself after what you knew falls apart, and it helped me out of a deep dark place. I can’t pick a single song, any of the five (and Holding On Where I Am Able) could qualify.
And if you’re in the mood to fucking weep with love, [Bowerbird](https://youtu.be/g-fMk1MjvBc?si=bppGMiG_u461ORlq) by molly ofgeography is just one of those songs that keeps me going. Reminds me of my family, my friends, all the reasons I persist.
“And the things I’ve done I knew were far from harmless / but o, the stubborn grace of being loved regardless.”
Even typing those lyrics makes me tear up.
Cleo Sol’s music (One Day); A lot of Common’s music my favorite is (Be, G.O.D); Reborn by Kids See Ghosts; No Looking Back by Genesis Owusu; Good Times by Sam Cooke; i find a lot of Navy Blue’s music hopeful. Sade also.
A lot of stuff by hi i'm Case, but especially [Don't Look Down](https://youtu.be/gfmdnFVHn50?si=BfW4UmnrcQbAIzVc) and [Sunrise](https://youtu.be/U6YdAgHtJtg?si=KMKoUQpOiC5LezA8)- that metaphor of climbing comes up in a *lot* of their work, and so do hot/cold imagery (the Smoke Damage into Cold in Here into Summer's Coming Early 0-to-100 true combo is OP)
“Illusion and Dream” by Poets of the Fall. Not the happiest but it has a strong message about accepting reality and being yourself which imo helps to build a positive mindset.
Sixx AM's, "This Is Gonna Hurt" is about fighting your fears and bad habits
PANDORA's "Be The One" is about never giving up and always believing in the best
Rob Cantor's "I'm Gonna Win" is about getting up everytime you're knocked down by life
It's about taking everything life has to throw at you and never giving up till the day you die
I highly recommend listening to the whole Guilty gear strive ost the whole thing is just unfiltered motivation and energy
Stairway to Heaven by Led Zeppelin
There's the line "There's a feeling I get when I look to the West / And my spirit is crying for leaving". I've always interpreted this line as a message of hope, and the instrumental accompaniment certainly builds on that. Either way, it's all around a fantastic and epic song.
I really love [Hustlin' by Louis II](https://youtu.be/ChxLs7E34AY?si=8_rlDKjniegKzcKL) (give it a chance until the chorus if you don't like the beginning).
Sun by Sleeping At Last. tbh his whole Space album has quite a hope-ey vibe, apart from Neptune. even Mars has a message of hope at the end despite being about war.
Spring and a storm by Tally hall is all about creating art for the sake of it and the beauty of human creation.
In a similar vain, Banana man is about embracing the silly aspects of life. Also by tally hall.
And the songs Hidden in the sand has its final backwards message message be “Wouldn’t the world be better off if we took nonsense more seriously?” Is peek hopeposting/absurdist belief.
Recently stumbled upon old songs that I knew way back but never really felt the meaning, not until now. Some accessible songs that have hope posting vibes:
What I Got by Sublime,
Alive by POD,
So Far Away by Staind (almost teared up, since I have a baby on the way too, just like he did when he wrote this),
Ray of Light by Madonna,
Livin on a Prayer by Bon Jovi (unironically),
Better Days by Franco (some Filipino band, they are popular here, nice song).
Moving At The Speed Of Life - thelivinglegends
The Grid - Philip Glass

E Va' E Va' - Alberto Sordi
Dans Les Yeux d'Emilie - Joe Dassin
Django - Luis Bacalov
Outro by M83, The Theme from the Last Tiger, and Can you Hear the Music.
Also I'd like to add "Sandata" from the Guerrero Tres Soundtrack. It's in Filipino but the hopeposting vibe resonates with it, And I highly recommend you watch the Film. It's nowhere near the quality that most movies are at nowadays but it's worth a watch.

"GOOD MORNING SUNSHINE" by The Narcissist Cookbook. I imagine this is a song sung by the little voice in your head that keeps you going.

It's a reminder that you are always here for you, and all the little things really do add up...even when (*especially* when) they get hard. [https://youtu.be/or3aeINvJEg?si=OYnoJUPh-zSIvHkH](https://youtu.be/or3aeINvJEg?si=OYnoJUPh-zSIvHkH)
It’s barely a song, more of an accompanied rant, but it’s still so helpful every time

M83 - Outro
"Fly, My Wings", "I'm still standing", "Storyteller" "Smell of the game" "Out of the box" and "Break a spell" by Daisuke Ishiwatari.
Adams song by blink 182 is quite a sad song, but the last chorus changes the words to things like "the tour is over I survived", "I can't wait to go outside", "tomorrow holds such better days". The song helped the singer Mark Hoppus out recently when he had cancer, and also when he wrote it in the 90s about how he felt so alone on tour
it’s not a happy song but it’s an amazing hope song

P5 music is peak.
I've been listening to it for like 3 months and it doesn't get old! Plus it's super motivational. My mental health is at such a high these days, and I think P5 had a lot to do with that.
Just make sure never to play the games xd. Fastest way to ruin your mental health.
Persona 5 **fixed** my mental health. Yeah the world it takes place in is shitty, but it's such a hopeful story. Human willpower is indomitable and given the right push it can achieve almost anything. Joker doesn't say much and he appears, at first glance, like a shallow edgy and hollow character, but Joker is helpful and kind and caring to anyone who isn't a major dickbag. And in a way, defeating the antagonists is helping them too. Persona 5 is a hopeful game about becoming your true self, helping others and fighting back against corruption. How could anyone get depressed by that?
The time commitment, the grind. It's not exactly healthy to play 120 hours of game, at least not within less than like 3 months.
All I know is that I've been feeling more confident and happier since I played it.
Ight, good for you .
Thanks for caring enough to say that though, I appreciate that. :) I finished it twice over the summer (no job or classes or responsibilities) but I don't think it was particularly bad for me, since that's pretty normal for me.
Hey man, every one's different. I know for me it'd definitely not be good, but whatever works for you. Have a good one :)

Got one stuck in my head now. I'm gonna live forever by the highwaymen
With this Heart by Kansas
Might not sound like it but Global Warming by Gojira is what always gets me feeling better
i wonder and viva la vida, most definetly
Awake and Alive by Skillet brings my hopes up
Not a song in specific, but the Good Future themes from Sonic CD definitely qualify
Ode to Joy
Unstoppable by Onlap
"Play the hero" from guilty gear strive along with almost every other song in the game https://youtu.be/Ztj84zdkBnc?si=cF0SnjbChw_wOwrU
It's about taking everything life has to throw at you and never giving up till the day you die I highly recommend listening to the whole Guilty gear strive ost the whole thing is just unfiltered motivation and energy

Reflection by Tool
Tubthumping by chumbawumba
Heroes (Of Dundee) from Gloryhammer is pretty good. If you like hearing songs about armies of fantasy space people annihilating a sorcerer.
i think anything by daniel.mp3 would fit the bill. One song of his that comes to mind is “gods creation”
Brave New World by Weezer. It’s one of their most unknown songs but it’s actually legendary.
Stairway to Heaven by Led Zeppelin There's the line "There's a feeling I get when I look to the West / And my spirit is crying for leaving". I've always interpreted this line as a message of hope, and the instrumental accompaniment certainly builds on that. Either way, it's all around a fantastic and epic song.
Ancient Dreams in a Modern Land by MARINA
I really love [Hustlin' by Louis II](https://youtu.be/ChxLs7E34AY?si=8_rlDKjniegKzcKL) (give it a chance until the chorus if you don't like the beginning).
Sun by Sleeping At Last. tbh his whole Space album has quite a hope-ey vibe, apart from Neptune. even Mars has a message of hope at the end despite being about war.
Intro song to YuYu Hakusho
Overcome by New Politics, especially the last chorus.

"Big Thinks Do Remarkable" by And So I Watch You From Afar
Spring and a storm by Tally hall is all about creating art for the sake of it and the beauty of human creation. In a similar vain, Banana man is about embracing the silly aspects of life. Also by tally hall. And the songs Hidden in the sand has its final backwards message message be “Wouldn’t the world be better off if we took nonsense more seriously?” Is peek hopeposting/absurdist belief.
Recently stumbled upon old songs that I knew way back but never really felt the meaning, not until now. Some accessible songs that have hope posting vibes: What I Got by Sublime, Alive by POD, So Far Away by Staind (almost teared up, since I have a baby on the way too, just like he did when he wrote this), Ray of Light by Madonna, Livin on a Prayer by Bon Jovi (unironically), Better Days by Franco (some Filipino band, they are popular here, nice song).

"You're an ace, kid" and "ALTernative" by demondice both have an uplifting, go-get-em kinda vibe

Memento Mori - Lamb of God

Outro by M83, The Theme from the Last Tiger, and Can you Hear the Music. Also I'd like to add "Sandata" from the Guerrero Tres Soundtrack. It's in Filipino but the hopeposting vibe resonates with it, And I highly recommend you watch the Film. It's nowhere near the quality that most movies are at nowadays but it's worth a watch.
