I've decided that I want to start doing more personal blogs as I haven't done many lately, and I thought it would be fun to share some of my favourite songs to make me happy! Here are 5 songs that always bring a smile to my face and help lift my mood.
1) Whitesnake - Here I Go Again
Stu and I both adore this song so much that we had the acoustic singer at our wedding finish his set on this so we could sneak back into the ceremony room once it was empty and we could dance about to it together. It makes me want to be all dramatic and perform it and I will always sing along to this, even though I loathe for anyone to hear me sing.
2) Bon Jovi - Wanted Dead or Alive
I can't resist a cheeky bit of Jovi, but this is my fave. Ashen our dog can get a bit anxious in the car so I sing this to him and he loves it. It's that kind of sleazy country inspired cheesy rock that just gets me. I know it's not cool to admit I like Bon Jovi, but hey, I've never pretended I was cool!
3) The Eagles - Life in the Fast Lane
The opening lines alone of this song just fill me with the urge to wiggle about. They have to be some of the best opening lines to a song ever; 'He was a hard-headed man, he was brutally handsome, and she was terminally pretty'. It tells a story and it is so damn catchy.
4) Meat Loaf - Bat Out of Hell
I am a huge Meat Loaf fan, my whole family are, so this song just takes me back to road trips with my parents and my little brother and us all singing our hearts out to this in the car. It is such an epic tune.
5) Destiny's Child - Say My Name
And the real curve ball of my list, is a bit of Destiny's Child. My tastes are very much rock, metal, punk, and a bit of country, but sometimes a song just grabs me and this is one of those. When I was a kid I had a tape with this on and I'd recorded it on the tape 5 times in a row so I didn't have to rewind it after each play. That's how much I loved it. I used to sit on my bed and pretend I was in the video, I absolutely loved it and still do. This is on my iPhone to this day and always makes me happy. I would love to do a photoshoot inspired by this video one day.
I could probably easily name another 5 songs that make me happy, there might just have to be a part two to this blog some time soon. What songs make you the happiest? I'm curious!
Much love,

Loving your songs. Think mine would have to be Gun-Word Up, Alice Cooper - Poison, East 17- It's Alright, inkubus sukkubus - Wytches, Sisters of Mercy - Temple of Love 1992.So hard to cut it down to 5 xxxx
ReplyDeleteGood choices! I really struggled too, it could easily have been 10! xxx
DeleteI love a bit of Whitesnake. My first gig was Monsters of Rock 1990 where they headlined. I've also seen them a couple of times more recently, including in Brighton when I was right in the front row and yelled out "David, show us ya cock!" So he repeated to the whole bloody crowd with a laugh! Bwahahaha. Then at the end the guitarist Doug Aldrich managed to throw a plectrum right into my cleavage. That's some skills! Hell, I should be sharing this in my own blog post, hahaha.
ReplyDeleteMy fave happy songs are Lit Up by Buckcherry, True Believers by the Bouncing Souls, Turn the Page by Metallica, Mr Brightside by The Killers and Shake Senora by Harry Belafonte. xx

Awesome bands, and Prince is a true legend, ace choices xx
DeleteI love all of those songs too. Not sure I have a favourite, not even sure I could whittle it down to top 5, you're making me think now!
ReplyDeleteIt's so hard isn't it? Once I scheduled this post I was like oh! But what about that song? Or that one? And just had to make myself leave it xx
DeleteGreat choices, that's my fave Destiny's Child song too. Anything by David Bowie makes me happy.
ReplyDeleteBowie is always a good choice!
DeleteSuch a great idea for a blog post and love these tunessss.
ReplyDeleteHaha, what a brilliant set of choices! This reads very much like the drunker end of a Whiskey Kittens DJ set! ;) Music is such an important part of life, and really has such a power to change our moods. What a cracking set of songs, and a great way to get the day started! ;) xx
