I've often been told by people here my taste is depressing because of my love of Steven Wilson, so guys I invite you to say what is happy music.

Even miserable music makes me happy as well.

"happy" music is whatever music you enjoy.
I listen to a lot of Damien Rice and his lyrics and melody might seem depressing to some people but I love it and it makes me happy
I wouldn't go and listen to some shit like Aqua's Barbie Girl because it sounds "happy"

I listen to a lot of Damien Rice and his lyrics and melody might seem depressing to some people but I love it and it makes me happy I wouldn't go and listen to some shit like Aqua's Barbie Girl because it sounds "happy" Exactly! If you look at my favourite bands/music (The Smiths, The Twilight Sad, Mogwai, Sigur Ros, Kathryn Joseph, The Magnetic North, Out Lines etc), you might think I'm a depressive person, but I'm not.  I'm a happy person actually. Listening to so called "happy music" doesn't mean that you're happy and listening and loving "depressive" music doesn't mean that you're sad/depressive. Just enjoy what you love. Music is free and boarder-less. Nobody can tell you what you have to love, but it's YOU! |

Granted, "Closer" or some of the more melancholic Cave records need a certain mood, but in general?
Having said that, these 2 are songs that never fail to make me laugh.
Latest when Bernard Sumner has to laugh himself.

U2's Walk On. Any version. Even if you don't like Bono - that song has healing power.

That's another one that always makes me laugh, especially in this version, all the smiling and pretend side-eye.
Of course, those two great men allegedly being on good terms these days takes away the last sting that might lie beneath this jokey look at their relationship.

"I'm in love with you". The Dolls on their best.
and anything by The Ramones. This song is pretty sad lyrics wise, but sad song doesn't have to sound sad.
Formed by Talking Head's Tina Weymouth and her sisters.
RIP Pete Shelly
