Everybody knows that music is good for the soul. Music is my ‘go to’ when feeling a bit down in the dumps. It can be an instant ‘pick me up’ when I’m feeling that things are getting on top of me. It’s my happy place. I’m never happier than when I’ve got the volume turned up loud. So this post is all about 10 songs that make me happy.
I must point out that they’re not the only 10 songs that make me happy. This post was extremely tricky to write as it depends how my mood takes me. But they are certainly on my (ever-growing) list of go to tunes to put me in a good mood.
I’m not going to bore you with explanations, I’m just going to let you sit back and (hopefully) enjoy!
- The Coral – Jacqueline
- McFly – Star Girl
- ELO – Mr Blue Sky
- Kavana – Deja Vu
- The Kooks – She Moves In Her Own Way
- Gin Blossoms – Til I Hear It From You
- Robbie Williams – Candy
- Bon Jovi – Beautiful World
- The Monkees – Daydream Believer
- Guns N’ Roses – Rocket Queen (particularly from 4.30 onwards on this particular video!)
So there we have it. A little insight into the songs that make me smile. A varied mix, I’m sure you’ll agree. But then isn’t variety the spice of life?!

Well I can see why these songs make you happy. I like The Kooks 🙂 #MarvMondays
Great band aren’t they? Almost all of their songs are happy. It was hard to pick a favourite. Thanks for commenting.
Great list. I love Mr Blue Sky! My four year old is into Agadoo at the moment. Disaster! #MarvMondays
Haha awwww. Bless her. Maybe I won’t let my almost four year old listen to that then, just in case!! Thanks for reading.
A lot of songs make me happy….Uptown Funk by Bruno Mars, Little Lion Man by Mumford and Sons, Sweet Transvestite from Rocky Horror, and Fire by Jimi Hendrix. Just to name a few. 😀

Got to love a bit of Robbie. #marmondays
Ahh I’ve loved Robbie for more years than I can remember! 😍
Some of my happy songs on here too. Can’t help but sing along loudly to star girl and a huge fan of ‘She moves in her own way’.. going to have to listen to them both in the morning now!! #marvmondays

I agree that music is definitely good for the soul. I was just talking with my sister earlier about music being kind of like a therapy when you’re feeling a bit down.
#FamilyFun
It really is my go to therapy. I always like making a new Spotify playlist! Thanks for reading.
Gin Blossoms from the Empire Records OST! I love that film! Thank you for reminding me! #BloggerClubUK Oh and I’m always happy to see Robbie on any list ❤️😍
Yes!!! Empire Records! I used to work in a music store so loved this film too! I watched it recently and it brought back so many memories! And Robbie will forever be great! Thanks so much.
So many songs make me happy, I have a list on Spotify called ‘Up’ for when I want a boost #BloggerClubUK
I love Spotify! I don’t know how I ever managed without it! Thanks for reading.
I do love listening to a little bit of The Monkees and I’ve seen Bon Jovi live, excellent. Nothing better than a good variety, At the moment the latest Panic! At The Disco album is making me happy #BloggerClubUK
My sister and I have been huge Bon Jovi fans for years and have seen them lots of times – they are amazing. Thanks for reading.
Not heard of some of these (showing my age!) but I love the Kooks, will always remind me of being a student in those hazy summer days.

Love this, such a mix of songs! Love that Kooks song, and I am also a big Bon Jovi fan (quite randomly, I don’t know why I ever first listened to him!) #MarvMondays
Huge Bon Jovi fan here! I was brainwashed from a very early age by my Sister. I’ll forever be grateful to her! I’m glad you enjoyed it.
Love ‘She Moves in Her Own Way. Your list has got me thinking about what my top ten would be… #MarvMondays #SharingtheBlogLove

Oh yes I love that sound Day Dream Believer! Nothing like a good old feel good song or two is there? Thanks for linking up to #coolmumclub lovely xx
My pleasure! I’m glad you enjoyed it and found a favourite!
I love The Coral – Jaqueline! Queen Bohemian Rhapsody makes me very happy as does Franz Ferdinand Take Me Out. You have a great list here!
#SharingtheBlogLove
It’s always a bonus that you end up loving a song with your own name as the title!! Big Queen fan here aswell!! Thanks for stopping by.
Love, love, love Mr Blue Sky
It’s a wonderful song isn’t it?! Thanks for reading.
Oops #coolmumclub!
Oh my goodness, I’m totally with you on ‘She Moves In Her Own Way’ by The Kooks! That song always makes me smile.
Gosh there are so many songs that make me happy although I’m drawing a blank right now because you’ve asked the question!! Two temporary happy songs are “Can’t stop the feeling” by J.T. and “This is what you came for” by Calvin Harris / Rihanna. My daughter loves them too. Oooh and actually “Sugar” by Maroon 5 was ‘our’ song from Mat Leave so that’s another one.
Music is truly awesome! #CoolMumClub
You’ll be thinking about it all night now!! My little one also loves JT. It was our holiday song this year so it really should have been on this list!! Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for reading. 😊
What a fab feel good playlist! I love Mr Blue Sky, and pretty much anything Queen – both never fail to put a smile on my face and have me singing along! Thanks for joining us again at #SharingtheBlogLove
My pleasure Katy. I’m so pleased you liked the list! 🙂
I listen to anything and everything so it’s hard to pick just one! Anything that makes me want to dance is always a good shout 🙂 #MarvMondays
Sounds perfect to me! Thanks for reading 🙂
There’s a few here I don’t know at all. But Mr Blue Sky’s a great choice, and Daydream believer.
It does seem there is something for everyone here! I do have a varied taste! 🙂
Great choices, I like most of these, especially She Moves in Her Own Way and I love anything by McFly!

Thank you for sharing a dose of happiness! Happy songs makes a happy person. I love listening to christian songs, it makes me happy and at peace all the time. Reading your post made me think of my happy songs that aren’t christian realted songs. By the way, Rocket queen and beautiful world are my favorites in your list. Whats your most favorite?
I couldn’t possibly pick – it changes daily! 😄
