I was listening to my year-end playlist on Spotify when I realized that this was a year that I really tried to listen to music that tapped into the inner joy within me!
There’s a quote about music that says, “Where words leave off, music begins.” by Heinrich Heine that I feel summarizes this idea so well…sometimes, words can’t describe feelings like joy, but music can. How true! Given this, I actually created a second post—with more joy songs!
Here are 10 songs that truly light up the inner joy within me—see if any do the same for you!

With a title like “Joyful”, this Dante Bowe song is truly such a joy to listen to! Upbeat, fun and brings your mood up instantly, this song truly taps me into my inner joy!

Down in my heart.”

#2: “Budding Trees” by Nahko And Medicine For the People
I first heard ‘“Budding Trees” when I watched the film, Heal, and I instantly fell in love with it. It ignites the inner worlds of wonder, possibility, fun, and living with joy!
“In the moon of the budding trees
I was gifted new eyes to see
All of the shifting shape and ways you can be
Wake the dreams into realities”
Nahko And Medicine For the People

#3: “Cover Me In Sunshine” by P!nk and Willow Sage Hart
I love love love this song. With such a strong message during the pandemic, “Cover Me In Sunshine” just truly brings such a feeling of the joy of sunshine put to music when perhaps the world around feels the opposite!
“Cover me in sunshine
Shower me with good times
Tell me that the world’s been spinning since the beginning
And everything will be alright”
P!nk and Willow Sage Hart, “Cover Me In Sunshine”

#4: “Her Joy Was Complete” by Sleeping At Last
A beautiful instrumental song, “Her Joy Was Complete”, reminds us of the beauty of seeing and feeling into joy. It’s such a lovely song to listen to when you might want to some more stillness and quiet.
#5: “Joy” by CalledOut Music
More religious in nature, “Joy” by CalledOut Music truly inspires to live with more joy! I love the vibe of this song—it feels so “no worries” and fun! Personally, this song ignites such a feeling of joy in faith!
“I got that joy like a river flowing down to my soul […]
I feel like dancing, yeah I feel it in my bones […]”
CalledOut Music, “Joy”
#6: “Share That Love” by G-Eazy and Lukas Graham
“Share That Love” reminds us to…well… share that love with others when things are going well in your life. I love that this song teaches us to share the joy with others when we are tapped into our inner joy!
“When the good times are rollin’ on me
I got plenty in my pocket if you’re ever in need”
G-Eazy and Lukas. Graham, “Share That Love”
#7: “joy.” by KING & COUNTRY
When I was first coming away from my difficult 2020, this song was one that I had on repeat to remind me to lean into the joy of life! It was repeat for weeks and weeks, and it truly is a song I will always love. More faith-based in nature, “joy.” by KING & COUNTRY, reminds you to choose JOY!
“The time has come to make a choice
And I choose joy
Let it move you, let it move you, let it move you”
KING & COUNTRY, “joy.”
#8: “Making My Way Back” by Gemma Hayes
“Making My Way Back” tells a story-I feel-of losing yourself and then the joy of making your way back to yourself again. It’s such a wonderful reminder of the joy of coming back to your authentic self!
“I just realized the way I ran
I was making my way back to you”
Gemma Hayes, “Making My Way Back”
#9: “Freedom” by Kygo and Zak Abel
This is a song all about the joy of freedom. Freedom to be. It’s such a lovely song that makes you just want to dance around!
“
“I was so lost in myself when I found you
But in that moment you made me believe
You give me freedom, freedom”
Kygo and Zak Abel, “Freedom”
#10: “Joy To Be” by Citizens and Chaunda Jefferson
When I listen to this more faith-based song, I truly feel such an alignment and gratitude with joy. I always imagine that if I were to ever create a documentary about joy, this would be the song at the end of the movie when the credits begin. It just sums up joy for me so well.
“Oh the joy to be, joy to know
It’s when I decrease
You fill up my soul
What a joy to see, joy to hold
It’s when you increase
I want nothing more”
Citizens and Chaunda Jefferson
