This is a song you’ll recognize from the commercials: Up! by Canadian country singer-songwriter Shania Twain.
Her lively vocals pair perfectly with the rhythmic banjo for a very refreshing track.
The lyrics begin with the protagonist worrying that “lately, nothing seems to go right.” Even so, she shifts her mindset, telling herself, “These days will come to an end!” It’s a very positive song that encourages her with the idea, “Once you’ve hit rock bottom, the only way to go is up.” It’s a track that will lift your spirits even more when you listen to it on a sunny day!

It’s been played in all kinds of media around the world, so even after all these years since its release, it’s one of those timeless hits that everyone has heard.
The crisp, sun-drenched guitar strums a bluesy intro, and just hearing it transports you straight to the California coast.

Sk8er BoiAvril Lavigne
Avril Lavigne, the punk rock princess born in Canada, is best known for her song “Sk8er Boi.” It’s included on her debut album and masterpiece, Let Go.

The band setup is simple, but the distorted guitars, energetic drums, and the bass that drives the whole track each deliver a classic punk rock sound, making it a really satisfying listen.
It’s a perfect song for skating under a clear, sunny sky!
