what is the song (or songs) that make you feel good everytime you hear them? even when you're lying on the sofa coughing and with a sore throat they still manage to make you smile? :)

I've recently found a new one to my collection. Sugar We're Going Down by Fall Out Boy (how could you not love the song, especially combined with the cutest ever video
:) ).
Sugar We're Going Down

another of my feel good songs is Undone (by PJ of course). there's something about the melody that just puts a smile upon my face. :)

share and discuss. :)

    Sometimes I don't know why I respond to threads about my "favorite" songs....:D My mood changes and yesterday's favorite goes to the bottom of the pile! :p

    Here's mine:

    Hooker With A Penis - by Tool - I can just blare that baby and rock out whenever I'm in a F-U mood. One of those songs that just makes you bang your head and say, "FUCK YEAH!", with a smile.

    Minute Man and Get Ur Freak On - By Missy Elliot - Again, loud and the kinda music I like to put on to bee-bop around the house to and get pumped up for a night out on the town.

    Shit On You or Purple Pills- D12 - LOL! If you can take the lyrics for what they're worth, jokes, either of these two tunes can make me larf.

    Brand New Second Hand - Peter Tosh - Get the vinyl out! :D Mmmm, some fine raggae there. Just love this song and for me, pretty much any old school raggae puts me in a good mood. Fire up a spliff and bake out to this one, for sure!

    I Know What I Know - Paul Simon - It's such a fun and happy little ditty! :)

    No Code (entire album) - PJ - This is my favorite PJ album as far as an album I can just put on and listen to from start to finish any time and feel great!

    And in all honesty, I could make an almost endless list, as for me, it depends on the day. I like a wide range of music and one day, Van Morrison could be the only thing that'll make me happy and the next day, I just need to be rocking out to Marilyn Manson or Cake or Queens Of The Stoneage or Led Zepplin or, or ...so, :D this is kind of a rough draft of some songs that I crave on a more regular basis, I suppose. :D I'll shut up now! :D

    "Leave" by the Tragically Hip. This song is simply amazing, great lyrics, great tune. PLEASE do yourself a favor and listen to it!

    just check out the lyrics, its poetry man!

    'Do you mean the attack is routine?'
    a bird asked of a bird
    'In this context, a concave nest,
    how do we learn to hurt?'

    'do you mean there's no variation?'
    watching a dog charge a flock
    of birds exploding in congregation
    "Why plan when' when we stop?"

    'I dunno...but why suppose
    it's not the way it should be?
    when you can fly above the great waiting list,
    as the grow inplies we won't be missed,
    we can
    leave
    we can
    leave
    we can
    leave.

    It's a routine flight for this bird tonight
    there's more worms than earth
    in the afterlife
    where the blind feed the blind,
    whispering things like;
    'On the money' and 'Bullseye'
    she picks up the little leaves
    where human wrecks are left to seed
    left to repaint their deities
    and plaster away at their villainies
    where there's love
    there's hope

    'and do you hope those earthbound poets
    could learn to sing as good as us?
    so we can sit back and enjoy our illusions
    and our quietus?'

    'Well I don't now...but why suppose it's
    not the way it should be?
    when you can squawk and wait for word from above
    and change yourself into something you love
    when you
    leave
    when you
    leave
    you leave?
    Which came first,
    the bad idea or me befallen by it?
