[2025] Go for it! Popular Uplifting and Motivational Western Songs

Kraftwerk – The Robots (Official Video)

One of the songs I discovered through a friend of mine, it’s tied to an unforgettable memory.

The friend who introduced it is a huge fan of Alva Noto—so much so that he even went to his live shows.

Of course, I’m writing about it here under the banner of a “cheering song,” so I’m not sure how many people would feel uplifted by his experimental works.

But when he introduced me to this new kind of music, I felt a certain sense of awe.

Do you ever suddenly feel like listening to some old-school country? If so, I recommend the song “Every Little Bit Helps” by Luke Combs.

He sings about the sad things that have happened to him—lamenting them, yet with humor and a self-deprecating touch.

It’s a track that really captures the core of country music.

This music video, filled with one charming look after another, will help lighten troubles like heartbreak.

Resolution/RevolutionThe Linda Lindas

The Linda Lindas – “Resolution/Revolution” (Lyric Video)

For those who feel worn out by modern society, I also recommend “Resolution/Revolution.” It’s a track released by the punk-pop band The Linda Lindas.

Set against a dry, stripped-back sound, it portrays frustration and resignation toward the world.

There’s a somewhat detached, enlightened tone, yet you can still sense hope and passion for tomorrow—that’s the key.

It’s also a powerful song with choral elements, so simply listening to it can give you a boost of energy.

It’s a song that makes your heart leap as you listen, and its lyrics make it a fitting cheer anthem.

It’s also used as the ending theme for the comedy-tinged, modern-horror anime Black Butler, and it fills listeners with smiles.

This band closest to the Beatles has produced many songs with wonderful melodies.

In Japan, they’re famous as the band that sang the theme song for Densha Otoko, and that movie and drama should be full of elements that lift your spirits.

Besides that song, they also have many other fantastic tracks.

Britain’s biggest dandy sings, “You can start over as many times as you need.” If that’s not a fight song, what is? The more you listen, the more it sinks in, so when times are tough, keep listening until your heart feels lighter.

Then you’ll surely find your answer.
