Reply To: What’s Your Anthem/Pick Me Up Song?

[Joanne Jackson]

Hi Gerianne,

I’d give the nod to The Dillards, “You’ve Got To Be Strong”
The chorus goes
You’ve Got To Be Strong
You’ve Got To Be Strong
You’ve Got To Be Strong
And keep on hangin’ on
And have faith in yourself

On record it’s very uplifting.
Brings me up when i’m feeling down.

Van Morrison’s “You Gotta Make It Through The World”
is grittier but helps too.

Little Feat’s “Willin'”

Mike Oldfield’s “Platinum” which is an instrumental but it builds to such an ecstatic climax i’m always in a better mood when it’s done.

Thanks for asking.
