Nick MacRae Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 It depends what happy place I'm going for, but if it's a calming one, then Ultraviolet by Light Field Reverie, Voice of the Soul by Death, or Dream by Quo Vadis. As for more energetic songs, Inis Mona by Eluveitie never fails to disappoint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamoKodela Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 Night flight! Such a great pop song, with amazing rock drumming and a happy, happy song, with a happy ending! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobDobbs Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 Down by the Seaside as it is a very positive song, very laid back. A bit of an extension of the social responsibility vibe of That's the Way. A real song of hope. Another great happy song is both Sam Cooke's and Journey's versions of Let the Good Times Roll. Now here is a weird choice, The Starland Vocal Band's Afternoon Delight. When the song came out in 76' I was in third grade and my neighbor Sue had just turned 16 and was driving around on her motorcycle. She was always fond of me, don't know why but she was very cool toward me and she would ride me around on her bike all the time. We were at her house, working on her bike with her older brother who was a professional stock car driver when this song came on for the first time. Sue told her brother to turn the song off as it was "inappropriate" for my young ears but Dave said, "nah, who cares, crank it" and that was that. Just a song tethered to a happy memory. Lastly, Black on Black by Heart. This song came out when I was dating a fantastic woman named Kathy and it just clicked with both of us. It also reminds me to never let a good thing get away, Kathy was one in a billion...I should have married her. Oh well, happy memory none the less.

Kathy's recollection: "He was a co-worker at Payless shoes and would not leave me alone. I took pity on him and agreed to go out twice. Our first date if you want to call it that was an afternoon matinee of Look Who's Talking Now. God knows why he choose that film. I guess he overcompensated because I didn't want to see RoboCop 3? Our second date was supposed to be just lunch. He showed up with flowers and a promise ring". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always loved Sam Cooke, and my girlfriend is a huge fan of his. That's a great story about Afternoon Delight. Nostalgia is powerful stuff. What your brain attaches to when you're a kid pretty much trumps everything lol. I loved that song too and lots of other light, fluffy 70s goodies. Paul McCartney, Bread, Rod Stewart, on and on ...

I never worked as shoe salesman damn you, it was a grocery store and she said I had nice eyes. Is it my fault she put a restraining order on me?

1975NQ Posted October 29, 2021 Author Share Posted October 29, 2021 Another one that always puts a smile on my face - the original 1963 "One Way Out" by Sonny Boy Williamson (with Buddy Guy on guitar!). There is so much humor and joy in the singing and harmonica playing, I don't think you could really call this the blues. Just the opposite.
