Feel good music?

[erwynl]

Post some of your favourite feel good songs. Since the sun's coming out and it's starting to feel like summer up here in Ontario, I've been rolling down the windows while I drive, music blaring.

Probably my favourite feel good song, possibly even my favourite song of all time:
Slide - Goo Goo Dolls

[Jonnyborg]

Zolof the rock and roll destroyer - I owe you.

it's fantastic.

[volunteercore]

feeling this- blink-182

a bit corny I know, but it's the ultimate summer feel good song.

[Bi11 Lumburgh]

pretty much anything from Mae, MuteMath, or Incubus
Valencia - The Good Life
The Dangerous Summer - Never Feel Alone
Emery - In a Lose, Lose Situation/In a Win, Win Situation
30 Seconds to Mars - Kings and Queens

[saveferris]

Not to ruin your life or anything (especially as a fellow Goo Goo Dolls fan) but that song is a bit of a bummer if you really listen to it.

[yoyostring]

Queen.

[brokenwings]

Ignite - Live for Better Days

such a good song to put you in a positive, hopeful mood. in fact, i will listen to it now

I've got to agree with the above post. Also, Jonezetta's "Cruel To Be Young" album is a feel good album for me.

Woah, classic P86 avatar, woah. Not really a fan of that album (besides "Six Sirens" because, dude, P.O.D.? Heck yeah), but anyone repping Project is alright in my book.

[kbi the crowing]

haha thanks! it really is a great video and i absolutely love that scene

Agreed. What do you think of Ghetto?

[fflash]

I really don't like the album as a whole, but it has some good tracks.

Without a doubt my least favorite by them, but I still enjoy it.

i honestly haven't even listened to it. is it good?

[geebee889]

pretty much anything from Mae, MuteMath, or Incubus
Valencia - The Good Life
The Dangerous Summer - Never Feel Alone
Emery - In a Lose, Lose Situation/In a Win, Win Situation
30 Seconds to Mars - Kings and Queens


I think you just read my mind. I was thinking about all of these.

[fflash]

I can enjoy it, but I really have to be in a certian mood to do so.

Like on the way to Sunday School?

[Alex1410]

Enema Of The State (apart from Adam's Song!) always makes me happy

[kbi the crowing]

i honestly haven't even listened to it. is it good?

I really dig the use of electronics and such, it's really got a great flow and groove to it. The vocals are a bit different, as are the lyrics, but they grow on you.

Like on the way to Sunday School?

haha pretty much, yeah

First show I ever went to:

Dogwood
Living Sacrifice
Project 86
P.O.D. - headliners

I'm a huge fan of "Run" of that album. How do you feel about Drawing Black Lines? One of my favorite albums from when BEC Recordings was the killer label.

Wow, that would be an awesome first show. Heck, it'd be an awesome show in general. You lucky bum, you.

My favorite Project 86 album is Songs to Burn Your Bridges By, but Drawing Black Lines is probably my second favorite. I could listen to the beginning of "Stein's Theme" for so long before getting tired of it. The bass just sounds so sick. I also really like the last track, with all that noisy distortion, feedback, etc.

[Neo Cassady]

No mention to the OP about how his "feel good song" is about debating what to do with an unwanted pregnancy? Not such a good feeling, I'd imagine.

(edit: there was a mention. I suck at reading.)

It's hard for me to pick feel-good songs, but give me any quality pop-punk and I'll be damned if there ain't a smile on my face.

[adayinmyshoes]

Hungry Heart - Bruce Springsteen

[Floater]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dYlAwvz8uwc


To this day I have not been able to figure out whether this song makes me feel happy or sad. Darn you, Blind Melon.

And of course, anything by the Shins has the same effect.

[cshadows2887]

Hungry Heart - Bruce Springsteen

[Richard Maxim]

"seed" by Tai always put me in a calm mood, "the vinyl countdown" by relient k gets me going on a bad day though for sure.

P.s. "free fallin'" by tom petty no matter what's going on in my life usually alway gets me in a good mood.

Just look at your avatar. That album is full of crucial springtime, windows down, singing with your music type songs. Other notable choices are:

Half of SoCo's Leaving through the window
Butch Walker "The Weight of Her"
Jarris' To All the Lonely Girls EP
I like to spin some of Anberin's early work too (such as Time & Confusion, Paperthin Hymn) during the spring.

To be honest I never noticed that. After reading the lyrics I do see it, but still. There's more than enough of run away/get married/beautiful girl in the song for me to overlook the pregnancy part : ) I'm still going to love that song. And, I totally agree with the pop-punk. Doesn't matter if it's generic, if it's catchy and you and your friends can sing it, it makes great driving music.

Ha I posted the summer song topic the other day because I also found it starting to get sunny. Where in Ontario you at?

Haha yeah, the weather is absurd for this time of year. 2 weeks ago, when the storm hit, people were ripping up and down my street in snowmobiles. A week later, all the motorcycles, coupes and convertibles come out. I live in the Kitchener-Waterloo area, you?

Fun. - Be Calm

Awesome 2 picks for Anberlin songs, and SoCo's LTTW is also great. Hurricane is a classic choice. I might have to check out those other 2 picks.


Some awesome posts so far, I might have to work on a new driving playlist soon.

I was skeptical at first, but after the second half definitely put a smile on my face. I didn't know it was Copeland either, I've never been able to get into them.

Haha, it starts out strange but in the end it always leaves me smiling. Yeah, this was one of the first songs I heard that got me into Copeland.

[jessicaa__]

It's been pretty warm out, so I've been blasting feel-good music with my windows rolled down whenever I go for a drive. Lately, been listening to Passion Pit, Animal Collective, Be Your Own Pet, upbeat Copeland songs (Take Care, Downtown, When Paula Sparks, etc.), Dinosaur Jr., ETID, Person L, some Say Anything, and a lot more. Most of the lyrics are usually depressing, but really upbeat. I dunno, I like the contrast.

[softcoeur]

[Megan12387]

Check out a band from Connecticut called Forget Paris.
