What is the song that made you really happy or sad for the first time?

Most songs by either Elliott Smith or Cocteau Twins have had a medicative effect on me during moments of deep reflection. There is a song called ‘Ziggy’ by Celine Dion that has also held great meaning for me due to the composition of melody as well as the story that it tells.
According to the mood, I could find the avant-garde musical themes of Philip Glass more compelling than Jeru the Damaja, but I tend to have broader taste than most, I think.
Being firm about choosing just one, I would say that Coutances by Dick Annegarn has been a touching ‘sing song’, lately.

Candle in the Wind, Elton John

“Goodbye Norma Jean, though I never knew you at all….”

My first Happy Song (besides Happy Birthday) was “I’m Free” by the Who. Or maybe it was Puff the Magic Dragon… Peter Paul and Mary.

Hey, this is turning into a very good question!

My favorite happy song is : Stereo Love but was Walkingon Sunshine
The song that made me cry the first time i heard it was in french and its called: Au revoir by SHeryfa Luna…. awesome song !!

Prodigy – No Good made me super sad and happy all at the same time back when I was 7

Lulu – To Sir With Love

Dust in the Wind made me sad, even though the version I first heard was sung by Will Ferrell in the movie Old School. Click Me!

@SABOTEUR LOL, you’re showing you age!

A happy song that has now become a very sad song: “Tiny Dancer”- Elton John/Bernie Taupin. An always fun song: “Alice’s Restaurant”- Arlo Guthrie. A really deep song: “Riders on the Storm”- The Doors.

My first memory of a sad/happy song would have to be White Christmas coincidentally enough.

I think its called the Age of Aquarius. I really suck with titles. It actually had to do with a science fiction story I was reading at the time and when I heard the song it kind of made the me imagine the world better in my head. It always gave me a happy feeling. Because everytime I heard the song I imagined this fantasy world that was so pretty and bright.
No I was not tripping on anything. LOL I know some of you were think that. Just made me high on life.
Oh, Once Upon a December makes me sad because it reminds me of Christmas’s with my dad and I miss him when I do remember.

Sol K. Bright’s Hawaiian Cowboy

“The Sweets” by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs
It’s so beautiful, but just sounds so… sad. It’s haunting.

I definately remember “Fire and Rain” by James Taylor, makes me cry still… and as for happy…the old Beatles, I mean really old Beatles, I wanna hold your hand and everyone on that album.

This is one song that makes me happy :)

Elments of life – tiesto and pursuit of happiness – kid cudi

What a Wonderful World, sung by Louis Armstrong

i’ve always felt that this song was full of opposites: sophisticated music and voice singing plainly worded verses; the words simple but their meaning somber, eliciting happiness and disquiet. maybe because of how the words are sung by Armstrong with his warm, mellow voice that keeps it from being sappy.

then i heard it in Good Morning Vietnam. the juxtaposition of the sweet, hopeful words describing an idyllic world in simple words and soulful harmony with the montage of violence and destruction was so utterly heartbreaking.

in any case, it makes me happy and sad.

To Sir, With Love makes me wanna cry, and so does My Heart Will Go On
No song in particular makes me happy

Some of the songs that make me sad are Ebony Eyes – Everly Brothers, Last Kiss – Pearl Jam(cover), Leaving on a jet plane – John Denver. Leaving on a jetplane has some memories to it. My first love didnt work out. She flew halfway around the world to attend college and later on became a nun. And that’s how things ended between us. She sang this song to me at the airport just like that when i went to see her off. I kinda teased her and we were laughing at each other and holding hands. That’s the last time i saw her. It’s been more than 10yrs now.
