Music can make your day.

One song playing at the right moment, perhaps with the right cup of coffee in your favorite mug, the sun coming through the window, can really make life worth living.
We here at American Songwriter think that songs are the oxygen for your spiritual lungs.
To that end, we wanted to share 10 new works of music to brighten your day and share the good word of composition. So, with that in mind, here are 10 songs for you today.
1. Joanie Leeds
Grammy Award-winner Joanie Leeds has released a new single on her birthday (October 21) with artist Fyütch. The new song is part of their new holiday album, Oy Vey! Another Christmas Album, which is out on November 4. Check out the bright, upbeat new song from the duo below.
2. Arctic Monkeys
The booming British-born rock group released its latest album, The Car, on Friday, October 21. With it comes the band’s latest single and accompanying music video for the track “I Ain’t Quite Where I Think I Am,” which you can check out below. The new song is a romp that highlights lead singer Alex Turner’s unique, rubbery-electric voice.
3. Shinedown
The famed Florida-born rock group Shinedown released a new live performance video for their single, “Daylight.” The new emotive song documents their just-wrapped Planet Zero World Tour, which came on the heels of the release of their acclaimed LP, Planet Zero. Check out the new work below.
4. Jimmy Eat World
The rock band, which rose to fame in the early 2000s with the track “The Middle,” is back with their latest single, “Place Your Debts,” which is out this week.

7. Blu DeTiger

8. Caleb Landry Jones
Star songwriter and performer Caleb Landry Jones released his latest single this week, “Croc Killers 2,” ahead of his new album, Gadzooks Vol. 2, which is out November 4.
