If we are all going to depress ourselves with Saddest Song Lyrics i thougth we had better have a tread where we can bring ourselves back up!

What song's out there that have lyrics that make you go gooey inside. Tracks that have a special happy memory for you, one that is guaranteed to make you smile!

I'll start: Sonique - Sky
It was writing for her baby that died (but it's not a sad song, it's so... uplifting).

Look at me
It really was not easy
But I can breathe
And I'm so grateful 'cause I can see
I am free to do exactly what I please
So come with me to a place where we can be

Ooh I wanna touch the sky
I wanna fly so high
Ooh I wanna hold you
I wanna love you tonight
Ooh I wanna touch the sky
I wanna fly so high
Ooh I wanna satisfy
I wanna make you cry

Follow me to a place where we can be
Absolutely free
To be exactly what you want to be
Completely, lose control that's when I need you more
Give me the key, to set your heart and spirit free

Ooh I wanna touch the sky
I wanna fly so high
Ooh I wanna hold you
I wanna love you tonight
Ooh I wanna touch the sky
I gonna fly so high
Ooh I wanna satisfy
I wanna make you cry

I know what I want
And I know I need it right now
Gonna take you on a journey
To a far away place now
Gonna take you on a journey to a far away place now

Ooh I wanna touch the sky
I wanna fly so high
Ooh I wanna hold you
I wanna love you tonight
Ooh I wanna touch the sky
I wanna fly so high
Ooh I wanna satisfy
I wanna make you cry

Ooh like a bird in the sky
Just you and I
I'm gonna fly like a bird in the sky
Just you and I
We're gonna fly like a bird in the sky
Just you and I

I wanna love you now
I wanna take you high
I wanna give you everything
That you desire

I wanna love you now
I wanna take you high
I wanna give you everything
That you desire

I wanna love you now
I wanna take you high
I wanna give you everything
That you desire

.....now thats very uplifting Nick.........how about the good old Kath n Kim "Chicken Fillets" they were uplifting too (but not too tasty from the look on Barry Humphrey's face!!)
dbbr

It has to be "Finally" by the Kings of Tomorrow.

Everytime I am in a club / party and this comes on, everybody just stops dancing
and gathers around for a might cheerful singalong. In fact it makes me uplifted
just thinking about the song. Time for some manipulation of iTunes methinks.

QUOTE
Time marches on never ending,
time keeps its own time,
Here we stand at the beginning,
and then goes passing us by,
And I, I,
I can dream for us all,
I hope I'm in a better state,
When here and now crumbles and falls
and you, you,
you who make worlds collide
I knew you'd come knocking one day,
unannounced like a thief in the night.

Where do we go from here,
time ain't nothing but time,
I now have no fear of my fears
And no more tears to cry,
tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow means nothing at all
If we don't hear the line,
when today places its call,
and morning, morning, morning
Won't ever be the same,
now I won't make the same mistakes,
time and time again (5x)

[Chorus ]
So tell me how do you do
Finally I meet you
You don't know what I've been through,
waiting and wondering about you
I had a dream my trip would end at you,
and now I know paradise.

KandiRaverr
Ahhh... I love that track.. never new the artists or song name, so thnx for helping me out on that too! smile.gif
The Flipstar
Me to...love the Joey negro mix. I think I have a mashup of that track with a Layo & Bushwacka track.
LadyKr
Well- i was just listening to fresh & they were playing the theme song to sesame street- wtf?!? although i do feel slightly uplifted & childish so i think it deserves a mention biggrin.gif
The Flipstar
wasn't there a rave track out back in the day called "Seasame's Treat"? Was that the track Lady K?
LadyKr
??? Dont know blink.gif but it sounded just like the starting song for the kiddie show wink.gif your probably right- that would make sense and make their song choice a little less random laugh.gif
KandiRaverr
That sounds familure! i think you'll find that can find a techno version of pretty much every children's theme show! come on.. Inspector Gadget!!

I also have a techno version of on of beethovens symphonies! Techno is actuall quite uplifting huh!?!
The Flipstar
As`faràs uplifting......it's got to be Trance for me (Will Holland pres Holla - Melodica!!!!) spine tingly, no lyrics, just the music!!!!....but thats away from the Thread a little isn't it?

okay here is one of my ULTIMATE cheesy uplifting fave songs...

Grow old with you Performed by adam sandler On the wedding singer soundtrack

Billy idol (speaking):
good afternoon everyone.
we’re flying at 26,000 feet,
Moving up to thirty thousand feet,
and then we’ve got clear skies
all the way to las vegas,
and right now we’re bringin you some in-flight entertainment.
one of our first-class passengers would like to sing you a song
inspired by one of our coach passenger,
and since we let our first-class passengers
do pretty much whatever they want, here he is.

Robbie hart (singing):
I wanna make you smile whenever you’re sad
Carry you around when your arthritis is bad
All I wanna do is grow old with you

I’ll get your medicine when your tummy aches
Build you a fire if the furnace breaks
Oh it could be so nice, growing old with you

I’ll miss you
I’ll kiss you
Give you my coat when you are cold

I’ll need you
I’ll feed you
Even let ya hold the remote control

So let me do the dishes in our kitchen sink
Put you to bed if you’ve had too much to drink
I could be the man who grows old with you
I wanna grow old with you


OH YEAH! sing me that and im yours!!!!
LadyKr

Yeah, Sesame's Treat by the Smart E's. Followed on from the trend of sampling kiddie's TV show themes started by the Prodigy's Charlie.

I absolutely adore "Finally" by the Kings of Tomorrow - also never knew title & artist, so ta for that! smile.gif

same with "mario brothers" - old nintendo game that was sampled and released in 1991 (i think?!!?!?), which was followed by a small spate of tracks sampling game themes.

There are sooo many songs that make me tingle when i hear them..

Being the Drum And Bass nut that i am I still adore Pendulum - Spiral , brings back some crazy Memories..

Van Morrison - Brown Eyed Girl , That Hey Mickey Song , anything by the Spice girls can get me from being absolutely shitty to rolling around on the floor..

** i know i have lost alot of respect , after posting my musical taste**

I have a track by with a Mario Brothers Remix in it:

Nine Inch Nails - Closer (Super Mario Brothers Remix)
Jutsinr
Oceanlab - Sky Falls Down

You know when you feel it
You know when it hits you
There's no mistake when you fall
You don't anticipate it
You can calculate it
It just comes crashing through your walls

I'll love you 'til the sky falls down
I'll love you 'til I can't feel anything,
Not anything at all
Even when you're not around
I'll love you 'til the sky falls down
I'm flying 'til I hit the ground
And lying there and I don't feel anything
Not anything at all
And even when you're not around
I'll love you til the sky falls down

You lose all sense of reason
You have no sense of danger
It's like you're living in a dream.
It lets you float through crowds and
Makes you smile at strangers
It's just the greatest state of being, Oohh...

I'll love you 'til the sky falls down
I'll love you 'til I can't feel anything,
Not anything at all
Even when you're not around
I'll love you 'til the sky falls down
I'm flying 'til I hit the ground
And lying there and I don't feel anything
Not anything at all
And even when you're not around
I'll love you til the sky falls down.

No Regrets by Aesop Rock
Lucy was 7 and wore a head of blue barettes
City born, into this world with no knowledge and no regrets
Had a piece of yellow chalk with which she'd draw upon the street
The many faces of the various locals that she would meet
There was Joshua, age 10
Bully of the block
Who always took her milk money at the morning bus stop
There was Mrs. Crabtree, and her poodle
She always gave a wave and holler on her weekly trip down to the bingo
parlor
And she drew
Men, women, kids, sunsets, clouds
And she drew
Skyscrapers, fruit stands, cities, towns
Always said hello to passers-by
They'd ask her why she passed her time
Attachin lines to concrete
But she would only smile
Now all the other children living in or near her building
Ran around like tyrants, soaking up the open fire hydrants
They would say
"Hey little Lucy, wanna come jump double dutch?"
Lucy would pause, look, grin and say
"I'm busy, thank you much"
Well, well, one year passed
And believe it or not
She covered every last inch of the entire sidewalk,
And she stopped-
"Lucy, after all this, you're just giving in today??"
She said:
"I'm not giving in, I'm finished," and walked away

(Chorus: x2)
1 2 3
That's the speed of the seed
A B C
That's the speed of the need
You can dream a little dream
Or you can live a little dream
I'd rather live it
Cuz dreamers always chase
But never get it

Now Lucy was 37, and introverted somewhat
Basement apartment in the same building she grew up in
She traded in her blue barettes for long locks held up with a clip
Traded in her yellow chalk for charcoal sticks
And she drew
Little bobby who would come to sweep the porch
And she drew
The mailman, delivered everyday at 4
Lucy had very little contact with the folks outside her cubicle day
But she found it suitable, and she liked it that way
She had a man now: Rico, similar, hermit
They would only see each other once or twice a week on purpose
They appreciated space and Rico was an artist too
So they'd connect on saturdays to share the pictures that they drew
(Look!)
Now every month or so, she'd get a knock upon the front door
Just one of the neighbors,
Actin nice, although she was a strange girl, really
Say, "Lucy, wanna join me for some lunch??"
Lucy would smile and say "I'm busy, thank you much"
And they would make a weird face the second the door shut
And run and tell their friends how truly crazy Lucy was
And lucy knew what people thought but didn't care
Cuz while they spread their rumors through the street
She'd paint another masterpiece

Lucy was 87, upon her death bed
At the senior home, where she had previously checked in
Traded in the locks and clips for a head rest
Traded in the charcoal sticks for arthritis, it had to happen
And she drew no more, just sat and watched the dawn
Had a television in the room that she'd never turned on
Lucy pinned up a life worth's of pictures on the wall
And sat and smiled, looked each one over, just to laugh at it all
No Rico, he had passed, 'bout 5 years back
So the visiting hours pulled in a big flock o' nothin
She'd never spoken once throughout the spanning of her life
Until the day she leaned forward, grinned and pulled the nurse aside
And she said:
"Look, I've never had a dream in my life
Because a dream is what you wanna do, but still haven't pursued
I knew what I wanted and did it till it was done
So i've been the dream that I wanted to be since day one!"
Well!
The nurse jumped back,
She'd never heard Lucy even talk,
'Specially words like that
She walked over to the door, and pulled it closed behind
Then Lucy blew a kiss to each one of her pictures
And she died.

Music Is my First Love

I’m taking no religion, no religion’s taking me, now there’s one thing and one thing that sets me free,
Listening to my music the escape to keep me sane, with an overloaded bass line that goes straight to my brain,
I’ll push up all my volume until it’s crystal clear and loud, my body starts to tingle just by listening to the sound,
Nothing else can do the same that hits the spot so fast, music is my first love it will always be my last,

Can’t explain the freedom and feeling from the bass, something just comes over me that nothing else can replace,
You tune in and close your eyes, I’m living in a dream, hypnotize with something you’ve heard but never seen,
The rhythm is a mystery the magic I can tell, the beats, the bass, the melody just gets me in a spell
It’s the love of my life, so come and go, but one will never pass, because music is my first love and will always be my last.


music is my first love - hixxy
Aeonr
Ahhh, nitrous is going to be pissed when he hears that is a hixxy song tongue.gif

haha yeah its the intro to some UK hard cd. still love the trak tho
asianfunkphenomenar
pretty much all the vocal girly trance tracks are pretty uplifting
Maori_Messiahr
Bass! How low can you go?
Death row. What a brother knows.
Once again back is the incredible
the thyme animal
the incredible D Public Enemy Number One
"Five O" said "Freeze!" and I got numb
Can I tell 'em that I really never had a gun?
But it's the wax that the Terminator X spun
Now they got me in a cell 'cause my records they sell
'Cause a brother like me said "Well...
...Frarrakhan's a prophet and I think you ought to listen to
what he can say to you, what you ought to do."
Follow for now, power of the people, say,
"Make a miracle, D, pump the lyrical"
Black is back, all in, we're gonna win
Check it out, yeah y'all, here we go again

Chorus: Turn it up! Bring the noise!

vocal girly house and trance tracks work with melody rather than lyrics precision, for in stance i don't wanna be alone be be alone be alone be, lone be, lone be duff duff duff duff there not uplifting lyrics but rather an uplifting melodic repeated chorus wink.gif
asianfunkphenomenar
Yeah thats true. It is the melody but having the girly vocals helps.
