Songs that make you happy

Curious to find out if there are any songs that make you happy or cheer you up. Not only when you are listening to them, but also - and maybe first of all - when you are playing them or are finally able to play them.

For me it’s the moment especially Rise Against “Tragedy + Time” ( I just love the riff and Tim McIlrath’s lyrics). Most of all I love that in the last chorus, there are actually two notes that sound like a smile.

I won’t be able to play this song for years probably. But sometime -many years from now - I will.

And then there is this one. No matter how often I hear it, it always cheers me up. It also has some of the most beautiful lyrics I know. It tells about a singer songwriter who gets told he is making unwanted songs. But he insists he has to do so because if he wouldn’t do so, he would suffocate from the monotony of every day life ( the song is in Finnish, so sorry for that). That one I might even learn next year or so. Can’t wait to play it.

So, what are songs that make you happy?

I used to watch the Hothouse Flowers perform regularly when they formed in '85. They used to play 50 pence lunchtime gigs over the front arch at the entrance to Trinity College, Dublin. Fabulous band.
They played in Liverpool a couple of weeks ago, but I just couldn’t find it in me (or my wallet!) to fork out that amount of money. Cheers for the memories :smiley:

Swearing is fine if it’s part of the ‘art’. Gratuitous foul language in comments is discouraged :smiley:

Happy:

Because it’s evolution for the girls, an adventure into the unknown!
Sad:

Because it’s so full of emotions and a beautiful performance!
