"Send Me on My Way" by Rusted Root

"This is one song that cheers me up when I'm feeling down is. The only time I've ever heard it anywhere (outside of my personal Spotify) is in the movie Matilda, and that's one of the reasons why I love it. This song inspires me partly because it plays toward the end of the movie when Matilda has overcome her greatest obstacles and gets to live out a happy life for the foreseeable future. It also inspires me because it has this upbeat, carefree rhythm to it all throughout. From the penny whistle to the gibberish-sounding lyrics (which I still like to pretend I can sing along to), this song definitely lifts my mood every time I hear it."
