what are three songs that make you feel good?

Asked by allen_o (1490points) March 10th, 2008 from iPhone

any song, any style, any age, the kind of songs that you never get bored of, the kind of songs which bring back good memories.
my three:
litle wing – the jimmie Hendrix experience (I named my campervan after this song)
take a walk on the wild side – lou reed (reminds me of my youth, I used to listen to a lot of lou reed in my teens)
timeless – goldie (old school drum & bass classic, reminds me of my girl)

“Hello, Goodbye” by The Beatles. It was the first song Paul played on his tour in 2002. My dad and I drove to Cleveland to see him.
“Take me out the Ball Game” I know it sounds goofy, but it makes me happy, and I am a Cubs fan, so only the “Cubbie” version of this song is good!
“Mr. Blue Sky” By ELO. Just such a fun song.
This was hard, there are a lot of songs that make me smile.

Acda en De Munnik - Als het vuur gedoofd is
Beautiful lyrics, wonderfully sung together.
Klaus Badelt - He’s A Pirate (Tiësto Remix)
The original is beautiful, this remix is about perfect.
Tiësto ft. Christian Burns - In The Dark
I listened this one a lot when I was in Ireland, which was a wonderful time. Every time I listen this song now makes me relive those days :)

Those are just a few of many tracks I like, but it’d be a hell of a job to list motivations for each of them ;-)

I’ve seen tiesto live, it took my breath away

@allen_o – man, I’m jealous. I’ve seen a few on YouTube, and it looked absolutely incredible (especially together with the Blue Man Group). You could really feel the music, and that was just the downgraded YouTube experience – the real thing must be fantastic.

Further:
– Fatboy Slim – Praise you
– Ray Charles – Unchain my heart -> great latin drums!

Imagine this man was blind!

the video to praise you was so funny, and amelie is one of my favourite films, have you seen “the science of sleep”?

-Absolutely anything by The Beatles. I’m obsessed, i make my children listen to them. That is what my parents did to me. Current obsession Strawberry Fields Forever.
-Brand New: Ok i believe you, but my tommy gun wont.
-Journeys: Don’t stop believing.

@snugglebunny – the Amelie soundtrack is beautiful indeed, I really need to get my hands on that some time.

@klaas4 – Praise You is very cool too. As allen_o said, the video is very funny, but that’s the case for most of Fatboy Slim’s video’s :)
