What are your top (5? 10?) go-to songs to perk you up?

    Sickest Buddhist always makes me smile:



    This is great too (Om Mani Padme Hum song):





  • RavenRaven
    Nice choices, Tosh!

    I have to go more mainstream, as my knowledge of Buddhist music is pretty non-existent:

    Here Comes the Sun (The Beatles)
    To Be With You (Mr. Big)
    Enid (Barenaked Ladies)
    Don't Pull Your Love (Hamilton, Joe Frank & Reynolds)
    Get it While You Can (Janis Joplin)

    I'll also add "Maybe" and "To Love Somebody," also Janis Joplin, as my go-to music for when I'm feeling sad and want to wallow in the deliciousness of it.

    I am still a nut for Social Distortion after all these years. Story of my Life and Ball and Chain and their version of Ring of Fire. I would add some Flogging Molly, great live band, and Reel Big Fish. The finny sarcastic music makes me happy, so I have to add Offspring too!

    I am thinking about expanding a little so I will check out what you guys say.

    Anything by Louis Jordan.
  • DakiniDakini Veteran
    Almost anything from South Africa and whatever Zaire calls itself today.

    Also: Here Comes the Sun (yay!), and Octopus's Garden. Tchaikovsky's Nutrcracker music. Almost anything by Johann Strauss Jr. or Sr. I'm a sucker for waltzes.
  • MountainsMountains Veteran
    Exultate Jubilate (K.158) by Mozart
    Here Comes the Sun by the Beatles
    Almost anything by the Beach Boys
    ¡Sí Señor! by Gloria Estefan (en Español, but one of the happiest songs I know)
    I could go on and on :)

  • RavenRaven
    Love the responses! Yay for "Here Comes the Sun!!!" Weeeeee! Super-great song. I'm looking forward to checking out everyone's song choices. :)

    Well the first few are trance songs. Trance is kinda like techno just... a bit more smooth I guess. Trance makes me happy because it is impossible to be anything else when you are listening to it. I won't lie, you either love it or hate it though. So you'll either understand or you won't.





    And then, I love all Grateful Dead and I normally would not recommend their studio songs but hey, this is a good'n all the same.



    And though I have many, many more songs that make me happy, too many to list here I'll end with this. It is more of an issue of nostalgia more than anything else though.
