Feel-good songs of the year

Four of my favourite songs of the year, which cheer me up no matter what i'm feeling:

The Holloways – Generator

May i remind you that you don't live in poverty
You've got your youth, and you've got a roof over your head.

Noah and the Whale – Five Years Time

And though nearly all these moments are just in my head
I'll be thinking about them as i'm lying in bed
And i know that really, it might not even come true
But in my mind i'm having a pretty good time with you.

A-Punk – Vampire Weekend

No point quoting any lyrics here – it's the tune and the rhythm that i like so much!

Frank Turner – Reasons not to be an idiot

Why are you sat at home?
Your're not designed to be alone.
It's a lovely sunny day
Get up, get down and get outside!

Funny, all these songs have a kind of folk feel to them.

  • Heheh, i love how certain songs become associated in our minds with particular times of our life. I'm going to have to look up a few of your songs and hear what you've been enjoying! :)
  • i have enjoyed:

    >>>my best friend, nita, singing happy birthday to me
    >>>anything that my dog will sing along with
    >>>L7 -- bite the wax tadpole ... because it's fun to dance along to and the lyrics are hysterical
    >>>the residents -- kaw-liga ... i love to listen to all of the mixes one after another. i think hank williams would love it too
    >>>living colour -- the vivid album. reminds me of living in london for some reason. i loved radio caroline!

    i know there's more ... this is a hard question!
