Before sharing a few songs that make me happy, I have to comment about a song on your list. I love Adagio For Strings but you just might be the first ever to list it in songs that make a person happy. :-)
My list of happy songs would include songs from Bill Withers … Lovely Day, Just the Two of Us and Lean on Me. Add some Stevie Wonder … Ribbon in the Sky, Do I Do, Don’t You Worry ’bout a Thing and For Once in My Life. Have to have some Earth, Wind and Fire … Fantasy, September and In the Stone. Zac Brown and Jimmy Buffet … Knee Deep. George Benson … On Broadway. Phil Collins … On My Way, Sussudio and Dance into the Light. Michael Jackson … Man in the Mirror. Sara Bareilles … Kaleidoscope Heart. And I’ll end with The OJays … Love Train.
Thanks, Scott. Awesome list!!!!
Porch Song, Widespread Panic (as heard on Light Fuse, Get Away).
Loved turning it on at the beginning of a road trip (still do, although now I don’t light up a cigarette, which I’m thankful for).
Buying it now! Thanks, Brett!!
