When You’re Feeling Down, Get Down! Sound & Music to Boost Your Mood
* Bruno Mars - Locked Out Of Heaven [OFFICIAL VIDEO]
One of my personal favourites for increasing frisson! It is packed full of tricks to increase excitement including a rise in pitch, increase of instruments, stronger beat over the back of the chorus which continues to rise during the middle eight but drops off during the verses. At 144 BPM this is a good one to add to your ‘pick me up play list’.

* Pharrell Williams - Happy (Official Music Video)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y6Sxv-sUYtM
Ok so its obvious, but there is a reason that this track was so successful.  The track is 160 BPM, Pharrell sings in a high pitch, the chorus is rousing which increases frisson and it has uplifting lyrics.

* Can you Feel It – The Jacksons
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hc8yoHlKBm4
This track is 125BPM and has a strong driving beat and great lyrics.  The choral accompaniment and increase in instruments (horns etc) during the repetition of ‘can you feel it’ and a passionate vocal from Michael Jackson makes this the perfect track when you’re feeling low.


* Can’t Stop the Feeling – Justin Timberlake
https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=1&v=ru0K8uYEZWw
Coming in at 113BPM it is a little slower than the others, but a worthy addition to anyone’s playlist. Its got uplifting lyrics and the high pitched vocal during the choruses and extra backing vocals around 3:27 into the track add extra emotion-boosting sonic vitamins.

* Save The World – Swedish House Mafia –
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BXpdmKELE1k
At 127 BPM this is a track with driving lyrics that takes off around 1:08 minutes into the track.  The steeply contrast in musical content between the ’emptier’ verses and ‘fuller’ choruses make this a great track to add to the list.


* Sky Full of Stars – Coldplay
This track is one of Coldplay’s EDM tracks that is guaranteed to get the head bobbing at 125BPM on the gloomiest of days – trust me, its pouring with rain outside and my head has just fallen off my shoulders!
