Songs that make you happy
OP - August 26, 2011, 11:37 AM

I did a search, this thread doesn't seem to exist...so... (of course link me to anything similar for my merge fetish)

Anyway:

The Drums - Money

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IqYgNiZdfh4

^^ Just makes me bounce around like a nutter not feeling too bad for being broke.

Jamie T - Sticks and Stones

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r9APEZMeH0o&feature=relmfu

Reminds me of my extremely rebellious teenage years.

Will post more later.

Got a happy mood to cultivate and a whole day to do it.

Inhale the good shit, exhale the bullshit.

Yes, listening to happy music really works to lift up your spirit, in the past this really worked with me. I tried to listen / read the Quran like a good Muslim, but that made me depressed sometimes, at best it made me feel peaceful, but never happy and up-beat.
I avoid depressing music most of the time....oh did you hear about the old arabic story of a musician who made the sultan laugh/cry or sleep by playing different tunes?? Can't remember the exact story, but music does work on changing our emotions, they also use the light and music therapy with children with various difficulties... someone must've read a research about it, I don't have time to look into it, but if anyone else has links please post.

Strangely i dont like happy songs!

Little Fly, Thy summer's play
My thoughtless hand has brushed away.

I too dance and drink, and sing,
Till some blind hand shall brush my wing.

Therefore I am a happy fly,
If I live or if I die.

The Beatles and MGMT (naturally not official):

The person who put this together didn’t give it a title so I will call it: ‘Kids In My Life’.

More ‘normally’, I absolutely adore this song and it comes from my favourite Beach Boys album (Surf’s Up)

It is. I still like a great deal of his music - but it's so mixed up with a past I still haven't come to terms with fully yet that I can't enjoy it just for what it is.
