Hey /mu/, I have a friend I've known for a pretty long time, and he's pretty depressed. The thing is though, we only know each other through online communication, and he lives in another country, so there's no real way for me to help him other than to talk to him. We've never swapped any personal details except for first names...I know that's weird, but anyways, the point of this thread is:
What is some essential "brighten up your day"-core? I'm particularly looking for stuff that is instrumental. KEEP IN MIND though, this stuff has to be pretty accessible. He's not super into music, but I thought it would be a nice thing to do to send him a song and a positive message once or twice a week, to try and make him feel better and know that someone cares about him.
I don't know what else to do because he has pretty much demanded that I not talk to him about his actual depression, and honestly I'm kind of okay with that because it makes me really nervous, and we had a big conversation where I said everything I could think to say to try and help. But music can be very healing, so I thought the weekly songs would be a nice thing to do...I don't want to be overbearing though, like I don't want him to think I'm trying to babysit him or something, but I want him to be okay...so please help?

Jens is so charming, always brightens my day up.
First of all, that is a wonderful thing you want to do OP. It would mean the world to me if someone sent me some positive songs and messages.
Alvvays is an album that makes me feel good whenever I listen to it.

This song particularly, very comfy and upbeat instrumental track. 100 Bird Stories is really happy too but a bit less of an accessible song.
