This is a fantastic song by Blink 182 and even if you are not a fan of the whole punk pop culture put those feelings to one side in order to listen to this song. It is melodic, it is soulful and it will make you think about life and then generally feel a little bit better about things.

8.Streets of Philadelphia

This was a song that Bruce Springsteen brought out for a movie in 1993, but it ended up being one of his best ever hits and there is no doubt that it is also quite moving to listen to.
