Songs that fill you with joy

[Clothed]

Saw some very upsetting threads on here that brought back some bad memories.

Want to try and have a more positive turn.
What's everyone's fav song? Something that really makes you smile.

The London Boys - Requiem. Reminds me of clubbing in the late 80’s.

Elbow - First steps

Lovely name (song named as songwriter's child was making their first steps) and the song with the orchestra is gorgeous.

George Harrison, Here Comes the Sun
Simon & Garfunkel, 59th St Bridge Song / Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard
Paul Simon, Late in the Evening / You Can Call Me Al
Boo Radleys, Wake Up Boo
Taylor Swift, Me!
Mark Ronson, Uptown Funk
Justin Timberlake, Can’t Stop the Feeling
Glee soundtrack, Can’t Stop the Beat
Whitney Houston, I Wanna Dance With Somebody
MUNA/Phoebe Bridgers, Silk Chiffon
Kirstie MacColl, Days
Beach Boys, Why Do Fools Fall In Love

Bonkers by Dizzee Rascal.

Imagine Dragons - On Top of the World (hence my user name)
Train - 50 Ways to Say Goodbye. It's not joyful exactly, but it always makes me laugh!

That makes me a bit sad. “Summers gone, days spent with the grass and son”. So the good bit is over. Also makes me feel sick with nostalgia for my teens

I knew that “yes” would be on the list: it reminds me so much of my wee granny

A lot of these people have mentioned are songs I love but can make me cry with nostalgia (I find the passage of time really hard)

my dopamine song at the moment is “return to the moon” by ELVY

Once in a Lifetime, Talking Heads
Patio Song, Gorky’s Zygotic Mynci
Daydream Believer, The Monkees
Drinking in LA, Bran Van 3000
Don’t Go, Hothouse Flowers
I’ll Find My Way Home, Jon & Vangelis
Starry Eyed Surprise, Paul Oakenfield

Some absolute belters here. Don't mind me, just adding them all to my playlist!

After All by The Frank and Walter's
Always always always puts a smile on my face and a wiggle on my hips!

Thinking of you - Sister Sledge
Bamboleo - Gypsey Kings

instant smiling & jigging about

Heatwave "Boogie nights" always makes me smile. The singer always seems so happy singing it and his little dance too 😍

Send me on my way, rusted roots

Waka Waka
Proud Mary
Daydream Believer

Sure there are loads more

Las Ketchup!

I absolutely love The Devil went down to Georgia and The Devil came back to Georgia - Charlie Daniels band/Johnny Cash. I could listen to them on constant repeat... Also, anything from the Six soundtrack makes me ridiculously happy!

Feeling Groovy, Simon and Garfunkel

Some others have already said.

I should be so lucky, Kylie and various other songs by her.

Don't stop believin - Journey
More than a feeling - Boston

All very corny.

Ode to Joy

Rachmaninoff No. 2

Lark Ascending, Vaughan-Williams.

Brown-eyed girl, Van Morrison

Christchurch Bells - Hothouse Flowers
The Dancing Floor and Flower of the West - Runrig
Until the Night - Billy Joel
Woman in Love - Barbra Streisand
Under African Skies - Paul Simon
Hello - Neil Diamond (OK, so it's not exactly a happy one, but it's so beautiful it can't be other than uplifting.)
Stars - Simply Red
This Old Heart of Mine - Rod Stewart dueting with Ron Isley
Hawkmoon 269 - U2
Romeo and Juliet - Dire Straits (another one that's not happy but makes me happy because it's so lovely)

And loads and loads more. . .

Feeling good Nina Simone

September Earth Wind & Fire

Barcelona Freddie Mercury & Montserrat Caballe

Lots of early Motown

All bring me joy when I hear them.

Who did Waka Waka? Is that the one that Fozzy Bear kept trying to sing?!

Sailing To Philadelphia by Mark Knopfler & James Taylor.
