0 Guest Posted September 21, 2008 Report Share Posted September 21, 2008 Nothing chills you out better than Knocking on Heaven's Door I like the Guns N Roses version, but you could do Clapton or Dillan or whatever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted September 21, 2008 Report Share Posted September 21, 2008 (edited) Happy/Mellow songs? The synomyn for Coldplay. Yellow, Speed of Sound or Lost? from their latest CD ~Kat <(^-^)> Edited September 21, 2008 by Kathleen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 unreality Posted September 21, 2008 Report Share Posted September 21, 2008 I don't think that's their latest CD, but yeah, Coldplay is pretty good. You'd probably like Till Kingdom Come or White Shadows I like Finger Eleven a lot, but that doesn't sound like your type of music. Maybe some U2? Love and Peace or Else, Beautiful Day... U2 has a lot of even-mellower stuff. I'm trying to think of really happy music - maybe some Barney, Best Hits? lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Joe's Student Posted September 21, 2008 Report Share Posted September 21, 2008 (edited) Apaarently i don't listen to much happy music lol thers none on my ipod! but for mellow try José Gonzales, and also try Glen Hansard and the soundtrack to the film Once... O actually for happy music you can't beat 'Steve Harley and Cockney Rebel'.. just youtube a few of their stuff Add to that: Patrick Wolf -The Magic Position btw.. i hate U2 Edit to add: 'Noah and the Whale - 5 years time' is officially thee happiest song ever Edited September 21, 2008 by Joe's Student Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted September 21, 2008 Report Share Posted September 21, 2008 umm.. Well, there's this Runs N Roses song that has a pretty upbeat and happy tempo. But I can't remember the name. It's about how this guy's lover complains and bickers too much, so he kills her and buries her in his backyard. yeah.. but the tempo's happy!

I freaked like nobody's business. I sing, play the ukulele, and the violin, and give lessons on all of those!

I'll go alphabetically through my MP3 librabry: Basically anything by Abba Barenaked Ladies - "If I had a million dollars" Bowling for Soup has some fun stuff I'm not at all into country..but I love Brad Paisley's song "Ticks" Caedmon's Call: "Thankful", "Bus Driver", "There You Go" Cars - "You Might Think", and several others "Cuppy Cake Song" I have no listed artist because it is a recording someone did of their kid singing...it makes me smile every time!

0 Guest Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 The most entertaining music videos ever! Men Without Hats - "Safety Dance" (Strangely compelling...) Blur - " " (WARNING: You may cry at the end) Black Eyed Peas - "Pump It" Tommy Seebach - "Apache" (Ahahahahaaa!!! So wrong, it's almost right) Still not got a smile on your face? What's wrong with you? All right then, listen to these... Muse - Hysteria, Knights of Cydonia, Starlight, Supermassive Black Hole (etc, etc... best band ever) Barry White - You're the First, the Last, My Everything (oh yes, you know you love it) Santa Esmeralda - Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood (and the rest of the Kill Bill soundtrack, it's incredible) Foo Fighters - Long Road To Ruin Stevie Wonder - Superstition Maximo Park - Our Velocity Alela Diane - The Pirate's Gospel Getting a bit less cheerful: Damien Rice - The Blower's Daughter Johnny Cash - Hurt Keane - Everybody's Changing Anthony and the Johnsons - Hope Theres Someone Colin Hay - Overkill (acoustic version) And at the risk of stating the obvious, the greatest piece of music ever created... Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb ...you might as well start fashioning your noose! (but I agree, "Comfortably Numb" is high up in the rankings of great songs!!)

0 Guest Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 I LOVE MUSE!!!! Saw them at Oxegen 07' = unbelievable, although wouldn't call them cheerful and definitely not mellow Check out the crowd here, they seem cheerful enough! Maybe not so mellow though. Muse are just ridiculously good, it shouldn't be allowed. Not fair on other bands. I saw them live at Verona Arena last year. Truly mindblowing. "Canonball" by the Breeders is a super-fun song to listen toLoving that. Also the Everclear song, and the Bosstones. Not enough Ska in the world these days, if you ask me. Speaking of such, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N2iYEyxMpak's a cracking Italian cover of... I won't say what, cos it took me a while to figure it out. Another thing I'm loving at the moment is Kings of Leon - Sex On Fire. Caleb Followill's voice sounds fantastic in that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 Oh, Puzzlegirl, I nearly forgot. Have you heard the album "No!" from They Might Be Giants?

0 Guest Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 Since we've stumbled onto kid music...you can't beat the VeggieTales. Their music is not only upbeat and fun for kids, but hilarious for adults as well (in fact, they purposely target their adult audience becuase they know us parents have to listen to the songs over and over again, so we might as well enjoy them.) There are tons of great VeggieTales songs although the best of the best are on the album "Silly Songs with Larry." Here's my personal favorite: Some others worth downloading are: "I Love My Lips", "Oh, Santa" and "The Hairbrush Song" Have fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 itachi-san Posted September 26, 2008 Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 For a change of pace, if you want to chill out to some great ambient music check out these artists: Bjork Aphex Twin (not all ambient) - try "Avril 14th" for a start Amon Tobin Boards of Canada - "Music is Math" is my favorite Plaid Enigma Trent Reznor (not all ambient of course, but his new album Ghosts is amazing) Imogen Heap Ladytron Radiohead and Pink Floyd obviously, my favorite albums are probably Amnesiac, KidA and Meddle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have any on your mind that just inspire high energy or just your fave song in the world please post! Calabria by Enur Happiness runs by Donovan No repeats! My favorite mellows are instrumental. I love Marc Antoine, he plays guitar and Dave Koz plays sax and I love Chris Botti on trumpet. Mindy Abair also blows a mean sax and Craig Chaciquo (I think it's spelt) He's a guitarist who used to play with Jefferson Starship. I love the song Sacred Ground, that song got me into 'smooth jazz' in the first place. I also love Incubus but their lyrics aren't so 'happy' but I love the music! Lastly, Mozart's symphony's are always upbeat and happy, try a Little Night Music or Symphony #40 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
