    power of love jennifrer rush makes me happy.

    I think i've too many for each Darren. I love loads of song's from the 80s ... in particular the 2 you've mentioned. The Living Years by Mike & The Mechanics makes me happy and sad. I love the Mel and Kim hit Respectable but it is so sad that Mel is'nt here today. I also like Karma Chemoleon by Culture Club and a few by Lisa Stansfield like This Is The Right Time and All Around The World too. From the 90s Angels by Robbie Williams stands out as does any song by James ... in-particular Sit Down and loads of Oasis early stuff like Wonderwall and Don't Look Back Back In Anger make me happy too.

      I agree - Mariah Careys song is the best Christmas song by a mile and I also get a lump in the throat when I hear it...maybe its cause its xmas and the time of year.
      Also - REM Everybody Hurts - that makes me real sad but is a really beautiful song.

      Makes me happy
      Queen - Dont stop me now
      Robbie Williams - Millenium
      Chris Farlowe - Out of Time
      Yazoo - Only you
      Bob Marley - 3 Little Birds - who cant smile when this is playing...

          Telstar by the Tornados makes me smile
          Lovely Rita by The Beatles is another happy song

          I can't stay away from you by Gloria Estefan is upsetting especially as Gloria looks like an old girlfriend.
          Goodbye to Love by the Carpenters as it reminds me of my Dad who died in 1974
          I go back to the original Jethro Tull - Yes! The seed drill inventor!

              Without a doubt the song that always brings a smile (and sometimes even a tear to my eye at the same time) would be Positive Thinking by Eric & Ernie.



              When you feel down try positive thinking
              That's what I told them and said
              Don't wear a frown try positive thinking
              Laugh at your troubles instead
              You've gotta look on the bright side
              On hope so much depends
              With your confidence sinking
              Positive thinking helps you on the way, my friend
              When things look black try positive thinking
              Treat every season as Spring
              No glancing back try positive thinking
              Trust what tomorrow may bring
              This crazy world what we live in
              Will keep on spinning round
              And then with good, strong positive thinking
              We'll get together and life won't let us down

                I completely agree with this. A wonderful song! I think it's by Tony Hatch and Jackie Trent, and that the latter recorded her own version. I have it on a CD somewhere.

                  Best years of our lives by Modern Romance makes me happy. It reminds me of when one of my best friends first moved around the corner from me and joined my primary school in 1982. We were only 6 at the time but she's still my best friend now! Her parents had this single and played it often so it takes me right back to those days. The title is quite apt too.

                    What a great song.
                    its even more special to you as it reminds you of the time one of your best nates moved in round the corner from you.

                            "Wind Beneath My Wings" always makes me cry; it was played at both my mum's and dad's funeral, but even before that, it "got me right there." I also can't help shedding a tear at Brian & Michael's "Matchstalk Men & Matchstalk Cats & Dogs," the bit where Lowry dies.
                            I always feel happy when I hear "Make Me Smile," by Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel, and also Petula Clark's "Downtown." As a youngster growing up in a small Lancashire town, it always made me think how exciting it must be to be a grown up!

                              Oh yes, definitely! Although I think I was an older child before I understood, and realised just how sad it was when "Jackie Piper came no more."

                                Here's one of tearjerkers for me. My dad had this record when I was a kid so I heard this song all the time.

                                Bobby Goldsboro -- Honey (1968)



                                See the tree how bit it's grown
                                But friend, it hasn't been too long it wasn't big
                                I laughed at her and she got mad
                                The first day that she planted it was just a twig
                                Then the first snow came and she ran out
                                To brush the snow away so it wouldn't die
                                Came running in all excited, slipped and almost hurt herself
                                And I laughed till I cried

                                She was always young at heart
                                Kind of dumb and kind of smart
                                And I loved her so
                                And I surprised her with a puppy
                                Kept me up all Christmas Eve two years ago
                                And it would sure embarass her
                                When I came in from working late cause I would know
                                That she'd been sitting there and crying
                                Over some sad and silly late late show

                                And Honey, I miss you
                                And I'm being good
                                And I'd love to be with you
                                If only I could

                                She wrecked the car and she was sad
                                And so afraid that I'd be mad
                                But what the heck
                                Though I pretended hard to be
                                Guess you could say she saw through me
                                And hugged my neck
                                I came home unexpectedly
                                And caught her crying needlessly
                                In the middle of the day
                                And it was in the early spring
                                When flowers bloomed and robins sing
                                She went away

                                One day while I was not at home
                                When she was there and all alone the angels came
                                Now all I have is memories of Honey
                                And I wake up nights and call her name
                                Now my life's an empty stage where Honey lived and Honey played
                                And love grew up
                                And a small cloud passes overhead
                                And cries down on the flower bed that Honey loved
                                And see the tree how big it's grown
                                But friend, it hasn't been to long it wasn't big
                                I laughed at her and she got mad
                                The first day that she planted it was just a twig
