It’s been scientifically proven that music can completely alter a person’s mood. That’s probably no secret if you listen to it throughout the course of your day. You’ll hear songs that remind you of a certain time and can make you feel melancholy or happy depending. There are also songs you’ve never heard before that have lyrics or a melody that just “touch your soul” (I never hide how cliche I am).

Here are the top five songs I can listen to that take me to a certain place or make me feel a certain way. I won’t tell you what each one does for me because I want it to take you to your own musical oasis.
