Do you like joyful songs or sorrow songs? Why?
 

I like joyful songs because they can make me happy. When I'm not happy, I would like to listen to some happy songs so that my heart will be comforted and I will get happier and happier.I have collected many joyful songs in my computer. I'm very willing to share with everyone. And I hope if you have listened more joyful songs, please share with me.

What qualifies as "joyful"?

I prefer songs about National Socialism.

I prefer songs about hats.

Hail hot chicks making Skrewdriver songs listenable!

I first went "Yeah Skinheads...oohhh...wait...oh...thats the two neo nazi girls who sings at neo nazi rallies.....oh...they dont mean the good skinheads..oh....well..I say good...the better skinheads." Then started hearing "Iiiiiit was a skinhead love affair!"....which is a pretty joyful song about a sorrowful thing.



I much prefer stuff that is not sorrow filled songs as they just get me down, yes I do have sad songs for sad moments or just sounding good. Yet I have mines wrapped up in fun much like Amanda Palmer's Oasis about being raped and having an abortion...Yet in a joyful way!



Or the joy that is a school shooting......again by Amanda Palmer. Well that's how I have interpreted...

The best is hateful songs about Christmas. Here, have one on me!

share a song:Louis Armstrong - What A Wonderful World



I like the lyrics very much

Makes me think of cotton swabs.

Makes me think of The Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy...

Nobody spells "hitchhiker" with a hyphen, least of all Douglas Adams.

Boom, as you'd say.

The word is being cut off by the end of the cover, so of course there's a hyphen, you retard.

You really do just argue for the sake of it don't you? Who gives a **** anyway? It's Christmas: chill out man!

No he doesn't. :laughing:

Carry on, then.


*rides off into the sunset*

Here's a joyful sounding song :D

I prefer sad songs, but if I have to listen to a happy song, then it's has to be...

Happy Up Here by Röyksopp http://emoticoner.com/files/emoticon...ony-smiley.gif

I've always found this cheers me up

A old but good song :ATT 9 - Tomorrow Will Be Better

...we're getting closer to the big reveal!

I like to hear joyful songs always. Because always I want to keep myself in a festive mood. So don't like sorrowful songs anymore.

I like both. While my mood can improve a bit after hearing an uplifting song, in contrast to that; my mood usually doesn't get worse if I listen to a sad song. But, the main reason I listen to music is because of the pleasing melodies/sound of the song/structure, as well as the interesting subjects and atmospheres which allow for enjoyable escapism and entertainment. It's likewise to watching a horror movie or thriller which may be a little scary or thrilling in itself, but the watching of the film tends to not make me any more fearful of the real world than I was before I went and saw the film.

I do tend to gravitate a bit more towards sad songs when I'm in a similar mood, but when I'm in a good mood then any musical style which I've found a liking for at one point or another can work well.

I'm unsure if these sort of uplifting songs would be considered to be exactly joyful, but here are a couple uplifting ones which I like most of the message of (although I don't think I wholly agree with everything said, the songs still do quite a good job I think.)




Then I guess there's some stuff which is kinda stupidly silly/joyful sort of stuff which I like as a novelty, like Helloween's song "Heavy Metal Hamsters." Maybe that's more along the lines of what people see as simply joyful rather than uplifting/inspirational? Although I guess there's probably joyful music which is neither silly nor particularly inspirational.

I have some more slight qualms with this next song's lyrics than the two prior ones, but overall I think it's still quite good, and it takes a kind of, sorrowful at points but also uplifting sort of direction.



Then finally to share some sad songs which I've liked a lot, here they are in another spoiler tag.

tend to find overly joyful songs irritating for some reason. All that happiness makes me grumpy :P

Songs about loss and sorrow or songs about overflowing joy, I don't mind.

So,What kinds of songs do you like best?

My first time to watch and listen to it:
Banjo-Orchestra playing "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot"


It's so amazing and so funny!

I prefer joyful songs cause im a depressive f*ck by default and it's best i don't indulge that. This is why i love TMBG, their songs always cheer me up.

Is mood really relevant? As a human we all feel sad, angry, happy, loving, hateful, whatever. All of those emotions are inside of us so why would you want to restrict yourself to happy or sad? I mean I know that people do that a lot, but it seems boring and sort of inauthentic.
