Songs That Make You Happy

I want to start a thread here about songs that make you feel good, motivated and happy. I find that music can really be a blessing to us when we feel down, so maybe this thread can be a collection of those blessings?

I'll start. I love this song, it makes life feel so fresh and full of possibilities

Ohhh I have soooo many of these... Peponi by the The Piano Guys (I'm unable to embed from my computer no idea why, but eh, a link will have to do ):

I'll limit myself to 3 songs to offer up, for now lol... All very different though... Another one is Are We Human or Are We Dancers by The Killers:

And finally Ong Namo by Snatam Kaur:

With lyrics:
The rain is pouring down
Like all the souls you sent here
Coming to this earth
To find healing

Mother earth takes in the rain
Like your heart takes my voice
Let us free eachother
With our prayers, with our voice

And I’m coming home
And I’m coming

Ong namo guru dev namo
Ong namo guru dev namo

Oh, my beloved
Kindness of the heart
Breath of life
I bow to you

Divine teacher
Beloved friend
I bow to you
Again and again

Lotus sitting on the water
Beyond time and space
This is your way
This is your grace

Ong namo guru dev namo
Ong namo guru dev namo

Ong namo – I bow to the subtle divine wisdom
Guru dev namo – I bow to the divine teacher within

I know that last song too!

Thanks for sharing your songs, frmthhrt and uni
I like the Piano Guys too, and they make me want to learn cello some day!

This absolutely rocks! Girl power!

Love Beyonce! Not in a listen to her music all the time but as a comfy in her own skin, command presence, move mountains, she's in charge of her world way...

I love her too for exactly that reason! She's so inspiring!
She radiates strength, beauty and confidence. She knows what she's able to do and she doesn't feel the need to hide it. She truly is a Queen!

Speaking of Beyoncé, this song makes me pretty happy too

Hmm, I'll try something you may not have heard of... Bliss and their song Kissing... Peaceful, sublime and transportive to a happy place:

Nice try, but I know it also :p It was on the Sex and the City soundtrack Seems like we have a similar taste in music

Aye (like a pirate)... Gonna have to lift my game I had no idea Kissing was on the Sex and the City soundtrack! I have a lot of Bliss' albums so just picked that song at random though a lot of their other songs are happy songs... Similar taste indeed!

Ok, this one has 476 views on Youtube and only one other video uploads with fewer views... so I'd be super surprised if you've heard this one It's God knows what I want by Moodswings. It was very touching and liberating when I heard it and occasionally makes me shed a tear that all will be okay:

You won I didn't know this one

Haha - I love love love discovering new music so I'm sure you have some I've never heard...

I do though find it quite difficult to find music that moves me or lifts me time and time again so I have a large collection that I've just 'grown' out of I suppose you could say after 3-6 months and can't get the buzz back when I listen to it again...

Yes, I know what you mean, Uni. When I really like a song, I listen to it several times a day until one day I grow tired of it, and then I can never get that buzz back either. Luckily there are always new songs being made!

This song always touches me profoundly, and never seems to lose its buzz



A clouded dream on an earthly night
Hangs upon the crescent moon
A voiceless song in an ageless light
Sings at the coming dawn
Birds in flight are calling there
Where the heart moves the stones
It's there that my heart is longing for
All for the love of you

A painting hangs on an ivy wall
Nestled in the emerald moss
Eyes declare a truce of trust
And then it draws me far away
Where deep in the desert twilight
Sand melts in pools of the sky
When darkness lays her crimson cloak
Your lamps will call me home

And so it's there my homage's due
Clutched by the still of the night
Now I feel you move
And every breath is full
So it's there my homage's due
Clutched by the still of the night
Even the distance feels so near
All for the love of you.

Lovely! I think I've heard of Loreena but never heard that track I don't think

One that's assisting me right now is Leona Lewis - Run:

omg, uni, I LOVE that song, and it's assisting me too

Awesome!

There's another that's assisting me at the moment but I'll post it in my Inner World section as it's not a happy song as such, but spoke to me...

This video brought a big smile to my face

One I just discovered... One Republic - Feel Again
