Music is usually the best way to express happiness or joy over something you can’t stop being happy about. Most happy, joyous songs have to do with a relationship or religion, but others celebrate the simple happiness of feeling good in day to day life. This is a sorted list of the best songs about joy and being happy with life, as voted on by music fans just like you. Some of the songs covered below may have the words “happy” in the lyrics or title, while others are simply about happiness and harmony as a topic or theme. You may have heard masterpieces like R.E.M’s “Shiny Happy People,” but what about newer songs such as “Junk of the Heart (Happy)” by The Kooks?
The meaning of the words doesn’t typically categorize music, so this music list is a great way to find some solid tracks that are thematically similar. Vote for the happy, joyous songs that you like the most, and downvote ones if you think they’re not worthy of being high on the list. If one of your top songs is missing, add it to the list so that others can vote for it as well, use the comment section or contact us.
Joy has multiple textures, and we need it to balance all the sorrows, confusions, anxieties, and exhaustion in our lives. It’s an emotional feeling that may seem to appear automatically, but it can also be cultivated. This combination of joy is designed to help you do the latter. We have found some video clips on YouTube with music and also images to lift up your spirits and enable you to truly commemorate the deep-down daily satisfaction of this month.
