Motivational Song of the Week!

This week's song is by a band called Two Door Cinema Club. really love all of their songs, but this one just makes me feel good, and i find myself bouncing around and doing a little dance everytime I listen to it.

Something Good Can Work - Two Door Cinema Club

For some reason this version is slightly different than the one that is on their album. However, the differences are very minimal.

Motivational Song of the Week!


I have decided to post the song that is motivating me the most every week. It might be a song that gets me up moving and makes me want to dance! Or, it might be a song that just lifts my spirits and makes me feel good.
This weeks song just makes me feel good. So here it is:

Carry On by Fun

Hope you liked it! 
It will be different every week. The song may be old or new; it could be an upbeat or more mellow song. Depends on my mood and what I'm into at that moment.
