Check out this week's new playlist, from Rise of Happniess

When I am feeling good, upbeat music keeps my spirits high. When I am feeling sad, the lyrics provide me with a comforting hug telling me everything is going to be okay.

Music has been a constant in my life whatever mood I am in. It has been with me in my darkest nights and my lightest days.

I love to analyse lyrics in songs and take on board the lessons that music teaches.

RISE OF HAPPINESS is shaped by values, some of which music has taught us -

"So when I leave here on this earth, did I take more than I gave? Did I look out for the people or did I do it all for fame?" Macklemore - 'Glorious'

Each week we share one of our Hummingbird's playlists. A collection of 12 songs (a nod of respect to the 12 male lives lost on average every day in the UK) that mean something personal to them, songs that may well have been the inspiration that helped them through a tough time.
