While I wanted to comment further on my initial take, vanblah beat me to it. I find I have much more inspirational songs that showcase a "real" hope to change in life and become better. It outlines the existence in which we live, yet still invents a longing dream to overcome in spite of the challenges in order to establish a balance. So, in that regard, my happy songs are not actaully blissfully sappy, but more in tune to the uplifting scope of futures' ideally consitutional.

If I were to search for it online, I'm sure I'd come up with mostly mindless tracks that may seek to delude you into a delight, à la "Happy Happy Joy Joy". I thought to not even try it, but I said I'd compile you a list, and so I have (maybe a third of it is mindless ).

As such, I could only find seven songs within my own limited library that can be classified as truly cheerfully smile-inducing; it was that tall a task. To add, I could have filled in abit more to round out my original intention of an eleven-track playlist, but those songs would have been more instrumental in nature. I also wanted to exemplify my definition of happiness, but perhaps that is best left to a different playlist, to be added later perhaps.

Well, enjoy.
