Kirby Posted January 20, 2022 Share #1 Posted January 20, 2022 I've got some Amazon digital credits that are expiring soon and since my kindle is pretty full with books at the moment I was going to get some music. I don't usually purchase songs because I'll listen to sirius in the car, but I may as well use the credits before they expire. So what are some happy, feel good songs that I can add for my long car trip playlist. Older songs, newer songs, pretty much any genre as long as its the sort of thing that helps put you in a good mood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donkpow Posted January 20, 2022 Share #19 Posted January 20, 2022 I think classically speaking, Vivaldi's Four Seasons is the popular selection in this respect. Patience is the prerequisite to glean any sort of satisfaction from the music. One needs to immerse themselves into the world of the music and allow it to lead you to the magical places. If not simply permit it to sweep you off your feet and lead you to a greater understanding and a state of nirvana. You may also consider something from Dvořák if you care to sustain yourself. My natural inclination would be a study of death and rebirth expressed though Stavinsky's "The Firebird". You'd be better served to consult @MickinMD in this area because, as you know, (wait for it) it's all rock and roll to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MickinMD ★ Posted January 20, 2022 Share #29 Posted January 20, 2022 Off the top of my head, stuff that soothes me - sometimes fast, sometimes slow songs: Simon and Garfunkel, Feeling Groovy Connie Francis - Al Di La Linda Ronstadt - When I Fall in Love Billy Joel - The Longest Time John Denver - a bunch of them - I've sometimes played "Sunshine on My Shoulders" on piano to relax. Ray Charles - Georgia On My Mind Nora Jones - Come Away with Me Bette Midler - In the Mood Colbie Caillat - Fallin' for You Vonda Shepard's version of - Hooked On a Feeling There are also a lot of classical instrumental melodies that relax me a great deal, some uplifting, some moody, many or all are available legally free on the Internet, especially on YouTube. A sample: Mozart - Concerto for Flute, Harp, and Orchestra, 2nd movement, catolog KV-299 - the first minute of this is the most beautiful music I've ever heard. Mozart - Sonata in A Major, 1st movement, catalog KV-331 Pachelbel - Canon in D Major Tchaikovsky - Waltz of the Flowers from The Nutcracker Johann Strauss - Blue Danube Waltz, opus 314 Beethoven - The Moonlight Sonata Beethoven - Fur Elise Chopin - Nocturne in C Sharp Minor - Opus Posthumous Bach - Air on the G String Bach - Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring (vocal and instrumental) 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffJim Posted January 20, 2022 Share #42 Posted January 20, 2022 Oro se do bheatha Baile. Not so much a happy song, but a triumphant one. Even though the medieval lyrics aren’t in English, you can pretty much tell the lyrics are ‘We went into battle against the great dragon, slayed it to death, and now we’re back at the castle to tell you about it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shootingstar Posted January 21, 2022 Share #46 Posted January 21, 2022 Pachel's Canon: is a known classic instrumental piece in my family. It was played for my sister's funeral because she loved the piece. However, the piece was also played for 3 weddings for the wedding walk to the altar, within my immediate family. I loved the piece for several reasons /sensations. One of the sensation is approaching a magnificent mountain rising before you...as the vista unfolds above you soaring. Below is "Gloria", baroque choral piece. lst piece is celebratory. Opening lines gives background. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
