Feel Good Songs

We have had probably 1,000 music/song threads on here, but figured we aren't running out of space, so thought I'd start a new one. We all have our "go-to" songs when it comes to pick-me-up or feel-good songs. What are some of yours?

Here's a few of mine... that are playing right now:

1) Proud -- Heather Small
2) Love is Gone (It's the baseball players gimmick that I like with the song) -- David Guetta
3) Hooked on a Feeling -- Blue Swede

So what are yours?

 

Sovereign Light Cafe - Keane
Little Miss Honky Tonk - Brooks & Bunn
Waterloo - Abba
Overture to "The Marriage of Figaro" - Mozart

 

Domino by Van Morrison

 

What a wonderful world -- Louis Armstrong

Puff the magic dragon -- Peter, Paul and Mary

Truck got stuck -- Corb Lund

Chicken Fried -- Zac Brown Band

Great day to be alive -- Travis Tritt

 

Most Van Morrison...

"Tupelo Honey" was the first song at my wedding. Whenever I hear it, it puts me in a great mood.

There are other "fun" bands that nobody is ever going to confuse with The Beatles that just put out upbeat, fun songs, like Bowling for Soup and Fountains of Wayne.

Early Van Halen fell into this category.

 

"Australia" - The Shins
"Steal the Night" - The Bodeans
"I'm Gonna Make You Love Me" - The Jayhawks

 

I'll admit to this one, too. What can I say ... my mom had/still has a bunch of ABBA records. A song will take you back.

 

MudFootball - Jack Johnson (honestly, just about everything he does is a feel-good song)

Not Fade Away -> Fire On The Mountain - The Grateful Dead

One Particular Harbor - Jimmy Buffett

Blue Sky - Allman Brothers Band

Up On Cripple Creek - The Band

Stay - Dave Matthews Band

Bouncing Around The Room - Phish

Hey Ladies - The Beastie Boys

Three Little Birds - Bob Marley

 

I'm probably old enough to be your Mom then.

 

Feel Good Inc. ...

 

Pretty much everything by Jimmy Buffett or anything written by Scott Emerick but especially "A Kind Word," "Beer for My Horses" and "Enjoy Yourself."

Also, Paul Overstreet's "She Only Likes Me for My Willie" and "Big Balls," which crack me up every time.

 

Time To Say Goodbye by Andrea Bocelli

And to show my versatility, You Are Everything by the Stylistics

And don't ever forget The Worst That Could Happen by Johnny Maestro and the Brooklyn Bridge
