The song Day After Day by Steve Hillage, actually, the entire 'Open' album from 1979 is just a 40 minute liberating experience. Such positiveness is hard to beat.

My vote in the classical world is Sibelius 7th symphony in C.. gentle, enchanting, with uplifting swells and sudden flurries.. Hug.. puts me a little in mind of Woolly Wolstenholme/ BJH 'Moonwater' which is also very beautiful
 
Copeland's Fanfare for the Common Man always lifts me up, plus just about anything by Mozart....

Ive already heard one suggestion which i can personally fully endorse and that is 'Awaken' by YesHug


Definitely "Awaken" is a top choice - For me it's always been The Moody Blues' "To Our Children's Children, Children." The whole album is one of the most uplifting of their albums - Highlights are "Out and In," "Eternity Road," "Candle Of Life," and "Gypsy."

I totally agree, as well. I would also put forth the finale movement of Bruckner's Eighth Symphony as life affirming totally!

A few more thoughts:- Sunrain (in particular, but the whole of New age of Earth) by Ashra and the whole of MDK by Magma; both best experienced through quality head-phones creating an amazing sense of euphoria and near levitation! Soil Festivities by Vangelis movements one and two.. In the region of the summer stars by the Enid..
