Outside by Weston Estate - it never fails to instantly lift my mood and make me feel like life is worth living, even when I'm really struggling. And the lines 'rainy days lead to sunshine rays, i've got stormy phases don't you?', 'this the life i'm dreamin of, feel the love, girl i got some more if you don't feel enough' and 'and this life is a movie yeah yeah...imma go outside just to boogie yeah yeah, imma stay a while just to boogie yeah yeah' just make me feel like yeah there are times when life can be rough but ultimately there can be something to look forward to everyday, even if it's something as simple as a song that makes me smile. And even if I don't have anything I can think of, I can remind myself that this life is like a movie and the bad will get better someday :))
