Some of it's pretty damn happy and gay. But then again, NAD posted Traffic's "John Barleycorn..." so I assume that the boundaries are pretty loose.

I looked to the sky
Where an elephant's eye
Was looking at me
From a bubblegum tree
And all that I knew
The hole in my shoe
Was letting in water (letting in water)
I walked through a field
That just wasnt real
Where 100 tin soldiers
Would shoot at my shoulder
And all that I knew
The hole in my shoe
Was letting in water (letting in water)
(I climbed on the back of a giant albatross
Which flew through a crack in the cloud
To a place where happiness r eigned all year round
Where music played ever so loudly)
I started to fall
And suddenly woke
And the dew on the grass
It stuck to my coat
And all that I knew
The hole in my shoe
Was letting in water
Where an elephant's eye
Was looking at me
From a bubblegum tree
And all that I knew
The hole in my shoe
Was letting in water (letting in water)
I walked through a field
That just wasnt real
Where 100 tin soldiers
Would shoot at my shoulder
And all that I knew
The hole in my shoe
Was letting in water (letting in water)
(I climbed on the back of a giant albatross
Which flew through a crack in the cloud
To a place where happiness r eigned all year round

I started to fall
And suddenly woke
And the dew on the grass
It stuck to my coat
And all that I knew
The hole in my shoe

Yes seriously, lots and lots of psychedelic stuff from 60s or 70s is so dark and not happy at all.
Like this masterpiece:

Yes. Thank you. I wasn't aware.
Come one dude, it doesn't get much more hippy than these lyrics:
So we'll sail away for just one day to the land where the punk weed grows
Won't need any money, just fingers and your toes
And when it's dark our boat will park on a land of warm and green
Pick our fill of punk weed and smoke it till we bleed, that's all we'll need
While sailing back in morning light, we'll wash our teeth in the sea
And when the day gets really bright, we'll go to sea drinking tea

Of course, the hippie influence remains in music until today. Even Psychotic Waltz were hippies (at least Dan Rock). "Hippie Metal" is how they described their music. But we got too metal for the thread now.

Talking about hippie lyrics:
i'm a tripper man in a spaced out jam
flying in the circus of a freakshow band
my ears are wings
they take me to my dreams
i close my eyes and i'm alone here singing
in this state of mind, i'm more than myself
i could reach up into the sky, colour in the sun
in the eyes of my imagination i can roll a bigger stone
i've cut the ties that build the rule of lies
and then i tripped away into the void
lay down the gun that defends me
cover me with a rose instead
my eyes see the deadland that surrounds me
but i can see the garden in my head
all is well
no wall will stand in my way
if they're too tall, i'll go beneath them
cut me down, you'll just go through me
cut me down, you'll just go through me
i am forever
i am forever i
and me you've never really seen
even when i leave this face behind
there's got to be another place to find
where i really belong
cause here i don't belong
here i do not belong
so i write this song of mine
to soothe my ears and ease my mind
and so another written page
will turn into the everflow
will no one ever really know about me
should they even care
a strange little man
racing all his bubbles to the surface of the universe
to see if he could swin out of his own mind
and as he looked behind, he realized what he had escaped
he thought that alone he would float out in space for awhile
goddamn mother gonna try to take me down
take a place in line
just lead your pigs into the slaughter
thank you perry for the idea man
oh, by the way i want to meet you one day
thank you for the way you sang to me
i'm a tripper man in a spaced out jam
flying in the circus of a freakshow band
my ears are wings
they take me to my dreams
i close my eyes and i'm alone here singing
in this state of mind, i'm more than myself
i could reach up into the sky, colour in the sun
in the eyes of my imagination i can roll a bigger stone
i've cut the ties that build the rule of lies
and then i tripped away into the void

my eyes see the deadland that surrounds me
but i can see the garden in my head
all is well
no wall will stand in my way
if they're too tall, i'll go beneath them
cut me down, you'll just go through me
cut me down, you'll just go through me
i am forever
i am forever i

Tales Of Brave Ulysses Lyrics
by Cream
(Eric Clapton and Martin Sharp)
You thought the leaden winter would bring you down forever,
But you rode upon a steamer to the violence of the sun.
And the colours of the sea bind your eyes with trembling mermaids,
And you touch the distant beaches with tales of brave Ulysses,
How his naked ears were tortured by the sirens sweetly singing,
For the sparkling waves are calling you to kiss their white laced lips.
And you see a girl's brown body dancing through the turquoise,
And her footprints make you follow where the sky loves the sea.
And when your fingers find her, she drowns you in her body,
Carving deep blue ripples in the tissues of your mind.
The tiny purple fishes run laughing through your fingers,
And you want to take her with you to the hard land of the winter.
Her name is Aphrodite and she rides a crimson shell,
And you know you cannot leave her for you touched the distant sands
With tales of brave Ulysses, how his naked ears were tortured
By the sirens sweetly singing.
The tiny purple fishes run lauging through your fingers,
And you want to take her with you to the hard land of the winter.

Well we are talking about classic rock here or not? Most of the albums posted in the thread are uplifting, but not really "happy joy joy". You will like them a lot.Doomcifer said:
