At least I thought it was a question from @Sara25. Now I can’t even find the original question, which asked what your favorite song is when you’re happy (I’m paraphrasing).
Any side of any Beatles album.
Love and happiness – Al Green
You’ve Got a Friend—Carole King
along with the rest of the Tapestry album
Sinatra’s classic concept album, “Songs for only the Lonely” and “Symphony No. 3: I. Lento – Sostenuto Tranquillo Ma Cantabile”.
What a Wonderful World
As sung by either Louis Armstrong or Brotha Iz (I’m not fussy).
When I’m 64 by the Beatles
(and whenever I hear it I recall the happy baby being tossed up in the air in the movie “The World According To Garp”)
Honestly, I pick up my guitar and play.
Bridge Over Troubled Water, either the original Simon & Garfunkle version or Celtic Woman’s version (on their Believe album from 2011)
Virtually anything by Enya
Celtic Woman’s version of You’ll Never Walk Alone (very uplifting)
Also:
San Francisco (Be Sure to Wear Flowers In Your Hair) by Scott
From Great Britain to LA. It Never Rains In Southern California and The Air That I Breathe by Albert Hammond (The Hollies version of the last song is even more uplifting & awesome)
There are undoubtedly many more songs that answer this question, but their titles & artists somehow aren’t popping into my head right now. (Perhaps the fact that the afternoon is getting toasty warm (low 90s Fahrenheit) & I still have my windows open & my a/c off.)
