Hi,
does anyone know of any music to lift my spirits, cheer me up, make me feel wanted and feel like I have a purpose in life.

Beethoven's 5th Symphony (all of it, not just the first 4 notes of the 1st movement!) is one of the most uplifting pieces of music ever written, IMHO.

BTW, you can listen to it all for free on it's Wikipedia page too - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symphony_No._5_(Beethoven)

Actually, ignore the Wikipedia link above - just listened to it and it's a dreadful performance of it

Anything by Joy Division or The Cure should do the trick!
Only Kidding....

The Shamen's Shamen Collection (their greatist hits) is pretty positive stuff..Listen to Move any mountain, Phorever people, transamazonia and destination escaton for the ultimate in positivity.

I don't think they'll meet all your requirements, but the Beach Boys alway lift my spirits.

Or the last movement of Beethoven's 9th symphony.

Dragonforce - Reason to live - Speed, Fantasy rock, kinda naff but I like it.

I'll second that suggestion of the Beach Boys - music for every mood and I don't mean just the early 60's recordings, they put out a lot of excellent music after that -Surf's Up, Sunflower,Holland for example.
