Re: What songs make you happy??.... Or make you Cry?

heaven is a place on earth makes me both happy and cry.
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

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.

"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!

I think the saddest song ever is Puff The Magic Dragon. It's way too sad for kids! :cry:

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
