At the recovery College where I volunteer, there has been this course running which asked us to pick a “happy song” and build a playlist.

I thought that it would be good to put together an “Inspiration Playlist”, and give you some ideas of some songs that could motivate you. Before I go any further, I think I need to make a few confessions;

1. I listen to A LOT OF Bon Jovi.
2. I have a very odd/ unique taste in music. I love lots of different types of music. So this playlist is going to be unique.
3. I love making you tube playlists. I probably spend too much time making YouTube playlists, but it’s a hobby I enjoy.

So, now I’ve had my confessional, I am going to reveal the first song on my inspiration playlist: “Keep the Faith” by Bon Jovi. I did warn you that I’m a Bon Jovi fan.

This is the first time that I’ve posted a video, so hopefully it works!

The reason why I chose this song is that I love the lyrics; “You know you’re gonna live through the rain/ you gotta keep the faith”.

It’s saying to me that yes, this is a bad time, but you can get through this, so just hang on, and you’ll get through.

And that’s why I chose it as my first song on the “Inspiration playlist”.
