I know, I know, it sounds kind of dumb, but...
Music is basically why I'm alive. If it were not for music I would/could not enjoy life.

So I've figured out that whenever I'm in a horrible mood, if I listen to a song with a good message, a nice melody, etc., my mood elevates. It's amazing, and I love it! It's natural medication.

Some of my favorites to listen to when I'm down are:
Everything's Magic by Angels and Airwaves
The Remedy by Jason Mraz
So Long Self by MercyMe (a christian song/band, but I always relate this song's lyrics to overcoming my SA... haha, it really does give you confidence!)
Cotton Candy Sky by 20 Minute Workout


There are more, I just can't think of them right now. But list some good happy songs! =)

Nice topic

All I can think of at the moment is "All Star" by Smash Mouth . There are other songs that motivate me, but I don't know if they would count as happy.

 

[Black_Widow]

Summer of 69 by Bryan Adams always makes me feel in an extra happy mood after I've listened to it. There are others...but they're not coming to mind right now.

 

[flickaflicka]

GREAT TOPIC!! I've been thinking a lot about music to motivate myself lately. You must, must, must listen to Transformer by Gnarls Barkley.

 

[Crystalline]

Drive by Incubus.

 

[Hellosunshine]

Lol you want a really happy song? Try Mika - Lollipop. I can't be angry after listening to that.

 

[LisaHa]

Drive by Incubus is one of my most favourite songs. Probably that's the reason why I like the movie Surf's Up so much. :roll

 

[ShyFX]

I like this song. It's positive but not really happy.

 

[Molly]

I thought of some more... haha

Mr. Blue Sky by Lily Allen and Perfect Day by Hoku

Those two songs are almost a little too sugary sweet and overly happy, but they just put me in a great mood.

let it be by the beatles . It reminds me to just let things be, and not to get so hung up on every little thing.

 

[Jason1969]

Hang Tough by Tesla,Late 80's Heavy Metal band for anyone unfamiliar, First track from the Great Radio Controversy release, To me hanging tough isn't about trying to be a badass, just about knowing your worthwhile no matter what anyone say's.

 

[fridays child]

Lately, I've really been into The Afters.. "Never Going Back to Okay" "Myspace Girl"
... the Beatles "Daytripper", Stevie Wonder "I Was Made to Love Her"
And I love the musical score for the movie "Elf"
If it were not for music I would/could not enjoy life.
I agree with you 100% !!

 

[Molly]

The Beatles are absolutely amazing. They're my all-time favorite band. Any song by them cheers me up.

...Well, except for Eleanor Rigby. Haha.

 

[fridays child]

...Well, except for Eleanor Rigby. Haha.

:yes All the lonely people, where do they all come from
From the SA forum !!:b

 

[noRby]

Fast beats in music can cause your heartbeat to become similar to that of the song. It's why it may make you feel better.

 

[crome]

Be Happy by that one reggae dude haha.

 

[sprinter]

There's too many songs to list that put me in a good mood. Just one of them...

 

[warcraft]

you actually picked the johnny nash version instead of jimmy cliff?

 

[sprinter]

^^Yes because I'm old and I haven't heard any other versions and 1972 was a good year for me.

 

[RoninDistance]

These may or may not be happy, but they always managed to cheer me up.
