I was genuinely shocked and amazed by the acapella cover of Bleed - Meshuggah

As with the sad songs, uplifting depends a lot on the memories attached to a song, the associations we make in our heads ... Some songs I consider uplifting are actually quite sad but become uplifting to me because it either gives me the feeling that I'm not the only one with issues, or because I first heard them during a very special (in positive way) occasion.
A few tracks I consider uplifting:
Snow Patrol - Run
The God Machine - The flower song *, Purity *
The Smiths - Sheila take a bow
The Smiths - You just haven't earned it yet baby
Eels - PS You rock my world (an album full of songs about decay finished with "Maybe it's time to live" - gotta love that!)
Orphaned Land - Norra el Norra
Indochine - Comateen I *
The * indicates that the songs in fact have a sad undertone but that they somehow got a positive connection for me. I guess the average listener would label them as sombre.
Also, in terms of guilty pleasures:
Tokio Hotel - Durch den Monsun, Übers Ende der Welt
that's when I'm an "emo mood" ... You are allowed to laugh at me now for this confession.

Sorry for the double post but somehow the "edit" button is letting me down ...
Some other songs that do life me up:
Echo & The Bunnymen - Evergreen ("Keep it flaming your desire, always rising higher, aim for stars and hit the sky")
Placebo - Plasticine, Slave to the Wage
Muse - Hysteria
Manic Street Preachers - The masses against the classes

VNV NATION - Beloved
VNV NATION - Standing
Especially the latter is extremely uplifting and whenever I listen to this song it takes me back to blissful Turkey.
"Eyes betray the soul but there is thinking
Beyond words they say so many things to me
A stranger here reborn it seems, awaking wonders deep in me
If nothing's ventured, nothing's gained, so I must seize the day
And fighting time so hard I pray that this moment lasts forever
And will the world stay standing still at least for me?
And through my eyes, stare into me
I bare/bear my heart for all to see
With my face turned to the sun, there am I standing still
It wasn't you, it wasn't me, it wasn't anything
It was a day so long ago, and a chance to be as me
I let the wind run through my hands, before I turn and walk away
In distant days I hope to sense it all so clear"
That last part is describing the feeling of true bliss, when things suddenly all fall into place. Always takes me back in mind to those walks by the Bosphorus. Life can be beautiful sometimes (well, not that often, but sometimes...)
