Songs that make you happy

Hey guys! What song do you usually listen to whenever you feel sad? I'm asking because I'm feeling so sad right now. It's summer and I should be enjoying it. I had to cancel my all my getaways from July to August because I'm suffering from eczema. The doctor advised me not to expose my skin coz it the heat of the sun can worsen my skin condition. I feel miserable, dispirited, unhappy... I don't know the perfect word to describe how bad I feel right now. I'm downloading all-time favorite summer songs and will just have a wishful thinking.

And this one too!

 

Here you go, my friend. Even loopstick gets the blues once in a while. This always works for me -

From a very positive album "places and spaces"
Donald byrd - (fallin like) Dominoes

 

This one has a nice, bright mariachi feel about it.



Weezer...... + a great Spike Jonez Happy Days clip



This one I love, even though it is in a minor key.

 

Anything popular by the Beach Boys...sunshine, surfin' (like I know anything about surfing, being from Ohio), cars, girls and boys. Not a downer I know of.

Even The Sloop John B. is upbeat (a cover, but who cares).

 

Not necessarily summer songs, but here's a few that always seem to perk me up a bit. Hope it helps!

Roll With The Changes - REO Speedwagon
Awful Beautiful Life, Living in the Here and Now - Darryl Worley
Pontoon - Little Big Town
Mission Temple Fireworks Stand - Sawyer Brown

 

R.E.M.: Shiny Happy People, with Kate Pierson

Kind of a sappy throwback tune but Kate gives the song life.

S.J.

 

Stevie Ray Vaughan and Dick Dale- Pipeline.

 

Beach Boys- Good Vibrations.

 

The Kinks- Sunny Afternoon.
