• Welcome to The Cave of Dragonflies forums, where the smallest bugs live alongside the strongest dragons.

    Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.

    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

Songs that make you smile / ones that make you happy

there was a thread like this, but that was made half a year ago so didn't bump that. anyway,

Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Storm
especially the part between 10:13 - 10:44 gives me the feeling of being completely free without anything to worry about whatsoever

Porcupine Tree - The Rest Will Flow
again, the feeling of 'nothing can go wrong right now'

Porcupine Tree - Pure Narcotic
the protagonist of the song is so friendly and naive in a good way that the atmosphere of the entire song becomes so happy mixed together with this naive innocence

Porcupine Tree - Lazarus
the chorus

Television - Guiding Light
in particular the guitar solo in the middle and at the end, oh man.. so peaceful and relaxing that I can't help but smile

Explosions In The Sky - A Slow Dance
again, so peaceful, chill and full of happiness

Explosions In The Sky - So Long, Lonesome
see above

Pink Floyd - Time
especially the last minute of it

Mono - Moonlight
from 5:00 onwards they play with so much emotion that they even give me goosebumps sometimes

Blackfield - Christenings (could only find live version)
one of their few non-melancholic songs. from "black dogs sitting in the park" onwards in the chorus

My Bloody Valentine - Soon
this is the way I want guitars to always sound like

Sigur Rós - Hoppípolla
so energetic yet peaceful (although the actual music video of the song does end with someone's nose starting to bleed, hence even the next song's name in the album), but especially the part from the start until the vocals appear, and the climax

Sigur Rós - Olsen Olsen
the entire song. but even more so from 4:50 onwards

KISS - Crazy Crazy Nights
the lyrics (although kinda cheesy), the atmosphere, the chorus

Broken Social Scene - Anthems For A 17-year Old Girl
so chill and happy

Elf Power - Peel Back The Moon, Beware!
read above

Genesis - Throwing It All Away
its atmosphere, although the lyrics aren't exactly happy as they're about breaking up

maudlin of the Well - Birth Pains of Astral Projection
the first 3 minutes. while its last 3 minutes give me shivers. such a progressive song from so many points of view

K's Choice - Favorite Adventure
very cheesy, but really nice atmosphere

Oasis - Don't Look Back In Anger
probably feels out of place in this list (as do probably a couple of other ones!), and I don't even really listen to Oasis much anymore, but still

King Crimson - I Talk To The Wind
the beautiful though haunting atmosphere, the flute, the vocals

Gregor Samsa - #2 Untitled
the first 2 minutes are so peaceful

Marillion - Tumble Down The Years (no vid for this one)
incredible atmosphere and brings back really great memories

Slowdive - Alison
and most of Souvlaki for that matter

Anathema - Everything
the song, not literally everything from them. that being said,

Anathema - Dreaming Light
 
To the Sky - Owl City

Sussudio - Phil Collins

(parts of) My Eyes - Doctor Horrible

If You Should Want the Moon - Linkara

Still Alive - GLaDOS (Portal)

Shin Onigashima - Super Smash Bros. Brawl
 
Because I'm too lazy to type. :U

But honestly, certain songs in general don't make me smile. Some do, but most don't. I have to be in a certain mood listening to a certain genre for it to actually make me smile. What can I say, I'm a werid girl. :D
 
Let's Play With Hatsune Miku!!, The Rampage of Hatsune Miku, The Rampage of Kagamine Len, and The Intense Song of Hatsune Miku.

Happy song, Crowning Moment of Funny, even more of a Crowning Moment of Funny, and a Crowning moment of Heartwarming.
 
I'm a shooting star, leaping through the skyyyyy like a tiger, defying the laws of gravity

I'm a racing car passiiiiing byyy like Lady Godiva, I'm gonna go, go, go, there's no stoppin' meeeee

Congratulations guys you just found everything /not/ to do in an app! Now let's start from square one.
 
megadeth's cover of "i ain't superstitious." IT'S SO TRIUMPHANT
"lies, i don't know what they say but" by down. i dunno man, something about it is just really uplifting, this song kicks ass.

and uh, shit, pretty much any song by the beastie boys. something about those guys always makes me grin. "pass the mic", "jimmy james", and "a year and a day" are of particular note.
