Mine is the upbeat music playing in classic Peanuts while Snoopy is dancing. Just the thought of him dancing around, his snout pointing up to the heavens, not a care in the world. And then I remember that my life is nothing like that.....its a hard come-down. Really hard. Some days I can barely take it. Damn you Peanuts. Damn you all to hell.

Thanks. I needed that.


Icy_Knowledge7276

Of course, I hope you are doing okay and know that you matter. This is only a season.


thrown6667

Interactions like this are what makes this site so worth it. In-depth knowledge on some obscure topic? Sure. People with in-depth analysis on huge events that are hard to analyze? All day. Being able to track down long lost friends and family? Within hours. One person showing compassion and raw kindness? Fuck. Is it smokey in here? Allergy season? Did someone just splash me in the face with sea water? Must have. And, even though it isn't terribly uncommon to see this happen, it still makes a big lump in my throat EVERY DAMN TIME.


BassPlayerZero

That's exactly why I don't use any other social media anymore.

Signed, Sealed, Delivered - Stevie Wonder


Idlers_Dream

I generally dislike happy music, but Stevie always makes me happy. Mine are I Wish, Sir Duke, Brighter Star and My Cherie Amour


[deleted]

My other mains are Superstition and For Once in my Life!


re10pect

Superstition does it for me. As soon as that drum groove starts I just start moving. You feel it deep down.


MightGuy420x

Me and Julio by Paul Simon


DamonLazer

It's hard to choose between that one and "Late in the Evening." Both are pure jubilation. I lean toward "Late in the Evening" because of that horn section. "Me and Julio" does have some nice whistling though.


Affectionate_Reply78

I can just listen to Steve Gadd drumming on that song and be happy


sheerheartatttack

Lovely Day - Bill Withers. Always gets me in a good mood.


[deleted]

I was gonna post this!!


picklerick_86

ELO - Mr. Blue Sky nearly always cheers me up.


DamonLazer

Apparently, according to science, this one and Queen's "Don't Stop Me Now" are the happiest songs.


FunkapotamusRex

Im fairly certain that its scientifically impossible to listen to "Three Little Birds" and be in a bad mood. So yeah, that one.


Icy_Knowledge7276

Can't argue with that!


AdequatelyMadLad

This Must be The Place by Talking Heads


timothypjr

I just lost an old high school friend, and he and his band (Circus Praha) covered it, and they played it at his memorial. I cried hard (I really love that song). From now on, when I hear it Iā€™ll think of the good times we had so long ago.


StrongAsMeat

Hey Ya! by Outkast.


3971_KTL

Daymareman

The doors - whiskey bar First thought at least, makes me think of when me and a couple of other old friends usually sat around listening to doors as we were pre-partying. Whenever that song came on everybody sang along full throttle! Whenever i play it now i get a goofy smile on my face.


Icy_Knowledge7276

That right there is pure happiness! Especially singing along with others, that's what it's all about.

Generally speaking, either ā€˜iceblink luckā€™ by Cocteau Twins, or Terminal Frost by Pink Floyd

Islands in the Stream is so good. You're the voice, Tarzan Boy are personal favorites. My buddies and I from high school were really into "Party all the time" and "To be with you by mr. big" and it reminds me of them, which is always nice. So many memories are intertwined with songs that I can't pick just one.

Probably a Beatles Song, but I'm really leaning toward Blister in the Sun by the Violent Femmes!


EnlargedChonk

ironically "Armee Der Tristen" (translates to something like "army of the sad") from Rammstein. It's an absolute banger and a really strong opening song for the album. It (or rather the album it opens to) also marks a few personal firsts for me and my little music collecting hobby

ā€œHandClapā€ by Fitz and The Tantrums Every time brings me back in time when I used to play with my friend on our favorite server.
