Happy Tunes

[S<issors]

Yep, looking for songs that make you feel pumped, excited, or just generally cheer you up.

I expect many ironic replies.

Go.

Oh, and for the record, I was prompted to do this when I realized that Anaal Nathrakh's Final Absolution and Nick Drake's Pink Moon were both actually making me grin while I listened to them.

In Flames - Clayman
Elvenking in general
Manowar!
Municipal Waste

 

[mutantllama]

At The Gallows End-Candlemass

 

[Einherjar86]

In Flames - Clayman

Fucking awesome song from a great album.

Also, any Freedom Call song.

"We are warriors! Born from the light!
An army for freedom, defenders of life!"

Every single song of theirs is like that. Very Euro-power.

I'd also suggest Turisas's "To Holmgard and Beyond."

And Kiuas:
Warrior Soul
Across the Snows
Race With the Falcons

 

[Seditious]

Salon, korven klaanin,
Kourat kontioisen
Salon, korven klaanin
Vuorten voima ranteissain
Saaaalon Korpi klaaaa ni!!
Saaaalon Korpi klaaaa ni!!

man, I'll spam you some of my favourites if you don't mind folkish metal

 

[Seditious]

Also, any Freedom Call song.

"We are warriors! Born from the light!
An army for freedom, defenders of life!"

hail!

Do you hear the clarion call?
it's calling out to one and all.
Who will live and who will fall?
who will walk the golden hall?

Do you hear the clarion call?
it's calling out to one and all.
Who is right and who is wrong
whose side is god really on!!

Fucking awesome song from a great album.

I actually meant the whole album - whole thing is really, really upbeat, even though the lyrics are grim. But the title track is the happiest.
Freedom call is a good call. Also, Edguy. Try "Trinidad"

 

[The Ozzman]

Huey Lewis and the News - Hip to be Square
Warning - Watching from a Distance
Candlemass - Solitude

 

[Vegard Pompey]

Machinae Supremacy. Awesome power metal with chiptunes that no one here seems to have heard of. Very poppy, but I like it. Many of their lyrics are about nonconformity and confidence.

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

Haha Ozz, fuck yes...Warning = happiest ever.

 

[tagradh]

Augury - Ever Know Peace Again
Kronos - Ouranian Cyclops
Mithras - Thrown Upon The Waves

Isn't that Falconer? I was saying Freedom Call. They're a super cheesy Euro-power band (miles behind Falconer, but still fun to listen to).

But Falconer's a great call. I can't believe I forgot to mention them! They have some great happy tunes. Clarion Call is an amazing song.

Yeah, when I read that I just assumed you meant the title track. The lyics just immediately popped in my head.

"IIIIIII feel so in-VINCIBLE!"

 

[SLS08]

Straight Line Stitch "Razor Blade Smile"

OR

The Agonist "Business Suit and Combat Boots"

 

[S<issors]

Huey Lewis and the News - Hip to be Square
Warning - Watching from a Distance
Candlemass - Solitude

Please let me die in solituuuuuude...

 

[SouthernTrendkill]

I consider Nick Drake pretty depressing...

For me the shit that gives me the biggest serial killer shit eating grin on my face while walking down the street is stuff like Pantera and Lamb of God. And the stuff that pumps me up the most would be stuff like Metallica, Slayer, Darkthrone's Panzerfaust, Nokturnal Mortum, and Dimmu Borgir.

 

[Thoth-Amon]

Mozart- Concerto for Flute & Harp

 

[Black Friday]

Don't have much happy music, but the ending to Symphony X-The Odyssey just pumps my blood every time I hear it.

 

[FenriR]

Any Alestorm for cheesy awesomeness.
Bloodbath - Eaten (don't ask me why, always makes me feel happier)
Iron Maiden - Dance of Death, Afraid to Shoot Strangers
Immortal - In My Kingdom Cold
Kalmah - Skin O My Teeth, Heros To Us
Pelican - Sirius
Testament - Return To Serenity
Wolves in the Throne Room - Dia Artio

There are so many happier songs, what kind of metal do you want?
