The Ultimate Feel Good Songs
Hi there,
I host a not for profit radio show and have started a discussion with listeners to select their all time Feel Good songs. Strikes me we need such music at this time. Love to know what classic pop songs you'd select in this category. You can nominate your Top 10 if you like. Here's mine: That's When The Music Takes Me - Neil Sedaka You Ain't Seen Nothin' Yet - Bachman Turner You Are The Sunshine Of My Life - Stevie Wonder We Are The Champions - Queen Let's Stay Together - Al Green It's Now Or Never - Elvis Presley No Regrets - Walker Brothers Magic - Pilot Every Little Thing - Police With A Little Luck - Wings ...what songs make you happy? |
These usually will give me one (1) molecule of serotonin (though I also always listen to them when in a chaotic/slightly manic mindframe because I apparently don't ever want to feel TOO good, yknow) :
Spoiler for .:
I'm sure I've forgotten better/more important ones but oh well. |
Good Morning Starshine - Oliver
I Can See Clearly Now - Johnny Nash How Do You Feel - Jefferson Airplane |

^that reminds me:
Electric Light Orchestra - Mr. Blue Sky Quote:
I had this sneaking suspicion you were holding back on your "feel good" songs so I had to "ftfy" for you. I'm sure these songs definitely turn that "Frown" upside-down. :rolleyes: |
Here are a few more I thought of...

Welcome to MB, Simon S :wavey: You've started with a great idea - you should stick around.
Totally times two for Psy-Fi's picks of Dancing in the Street, Be My Baby and Good Vibrations. Here are a couple from me: Daydream by The Loving Spoonful Then He Kissed Me by The Crystals Take The Money And Run by The Steve Miller Band Good Day Sunshine by The Beatles Spirit In The Sky by Norman Greenbaum On The Road Again by Canned Heat Plus two lesser known songs:- My list is longer than I expected, because like goldendoodle, I don't want to be TOO happy. That's why my list has so few Brits on it; we don't do Happy; we do dreary hardship in a bad climate for convoluted reasons that stem from economic downturn, post-war guilt, medieval religious masochism and Spartan Victorian values. |

Tiny Tim - Livin' in the Sunlight, Lovin' in the Moon Light |
More (because for some reason I was only thinking of more mainstream/current pop stuff before)

Astrud Gilberto, João Gilberto and Stan Getz - The Girl from Ipanema |

This one might be the ultimate "feel good" song...

People have posted some The Association songs but I think this would be their best feel-good song.

This one might be the ultimate "feel good" song...
Louis Jordan & His Tympany Five - Beans And Cornbread |
Some of these songs are good but I'm scratching my head as to why they'd be considered "feel good" songs? *shrugs*
I suppose it's subjective. Anyway here's a couple more classic ones. EDIT: Just realized the OP got the Stevie Wonder song I had here |
Can't forget this one, either.
|
that's a good one^

LOVE Sophie. I'd love to learn to make Sophie-esque music (well, Sophie slash Claire Hamill's Voices slash Cristina)
Is It Cold In the Water? literally makes me feel like I'm ascending. |

These are easily some of the best "The Ultimate Feel Good Song" around:
Outkast - Hey Ya! Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66 - Mas que nada Spoiler for ultimate feel goods:
|
Just about anything Samba or Bossa Nova-influenced could be interpreted as a feel good song, lol.

The Rainmakers may not be remembered much outside of the Midwestern U.S. and Norway (!). The lead singer Bob Walkenhorst wrote this song about alienation, “View from the Tower,” that has a happy ending. Delete the two spaces in the url.
