Happy feel good songs?

[binny]

of the grown up variety.

What are your favourite songs when youre in a funk and you just cant get out of it?

 

[paintnolish]

Here's a little song I wrote...
Don't Worry, Be Happy

Sorry! First thing that came to mind!

 

[metalis4ever]

This always works for me when I am in a funk

Fight by Gamma Ray ( Power Metal at its finest and the lyrics are brilliant for reflecting when in a funk)

I see a world that's full of fake and disillusions
I see no move in history
Where am I meant to be?
What is my destiny?
The path I've chosen now has lead me to a wall

And though my mind perceived I still was a blind man
And not the one who understands
For life's a mystery
Of things your eyes can't see
Faith is the key to inspiration

Carry on - Carry on, my dear old friend
Carry on - For there's love that never ends
Carry on - Carry on, carry on, carry on

So I began to trust in my instinctive feelings
To live in truth and harmony
One day you realize
It's right before your eyes
Truth is the key to inspiration

Carry on - Carry on, my dear old friend
Carry on - For love will never end
Carry on - Carry on, carry on, carry on

In this world
Faith, hope and charity
Lead us to the one

Carry on - Carry on, my dear old friend
Carry on - My love will never end
Carry on - Carry on, carry on

Carry on and you will see
Life ain't no mystery
Carry on, carry on, carry on

Carry on, you'll see the light
Your star is shining bright
Carry on, carry on

by sly and the family stone. takes me right back to one of the best times of my life. always makes me smile.

 

[Lisa loves Pooh]

I'm a sucker for Abba--Dancing Queen especially. But even their break up songs have a happy beat and they work as well. (SOS ).

I'm not a music expert though so take that for what its worth.

 

[Narnian_Princess]

Forever by Red. It's not a light sound, but the lyrics are so desperately happy that they can't help but affect me.

 

[JessicaR]

My latest greatest feel good song is Black Eyed Peas - I got a Feeling. You can't help but sing out loud and dance around!

I gotta feeling that tonight`s gonna be a good night
That tonight`s gonna be a good night
That tonight`s gonna be a good good night

[JOCAmom]

Right now, my favorite feel good, reliving my youth song is All Summer Long by Kid Rock. It really does make me want to get up and dance and I hate dancing.

 

[TLSnell1981]

I like this song...

Be Good to Yourself....by Journey

Runnin out of self-control
Gettin close to an overload
Up against a no win situation
Shoulder to shoulder, push and shove
Im hangin up my boxin gloves
Im ready for a long vacation

Be good to yourself when, nobody else will

Oh be good to yourself
Youre walkin a high wire, caught in a cross fire
Oh be good to yourself

When you cant give no more
They want it all but you gotta say no
Im turnin off the noise that makes me crazy
Lookin back with no regrets
To forgive is to forget
I want a little piece of mind to turn to

Be good to yourself when, nobody else will
Oh be good to yourself
Youre walkin a high wire, caught in a cross fire
Oh be good to yourself
Be good to yourself when, nobody else will
