Positive, happy songs?

Post by AcousticBuddhist20 »

Hey, so I'm making a playlist of positive, and happy songs, and I'm in need of some suggestions. Mostly looking for songs about life being good, or life in general, and being yourself. Some songs I have already, are Jason Mraz-Remedy (I won't worry), Modest Mouse-Float On, Jack Johnson-Better Together, and banana pancakes by jack johnson.

If you're partial to rap music, this one is very positive:

'The Blessed One is the Teacher, I am a disciple. He is the one who knows, not I." - MN. 70 Kitagiri Sutta

I think I've heard "I feel pretty" from anger management. That's a good song. I'll check out simon and garfunkel. I'm a fan of acoustic music. I think I know the song from sound of music, but I might be thinking of let freedom ring. Thanks for the suggestions, if anyone has more, feel free to post them.

I've no idea if I can offer something that you like, but I hope so.

This song here moves me very much, not because it makes me happy, but because it inspires me when I am unhappy.

"Take me to higher love..." (to metta :smile: )

I'm also very much for the protection of weaker minorities, and so, -but see for yourself.

It has something really nice towards the end, which touches me, perhaps you too.

I need a little help with embedding a video, but click the link and it will take you there.

I hope verybody enjoys this as I do.

I have a few other ones, if this is a flop.
