[IcemanJ256]

there are too many! maybe i'll think of some later.

hey bumble, you forgot White Willow. "Paper Moon" makes me orgasm and is an extremely happy song. actually almost every white willow song.

Gleemonex, have you heard ( )? The first half of it has very pretty happy songs and track 4 makes me cry. and on Ágætis, i cant really tell if theyre happy or sad.

I wouldnt say track 8 is nonsadnondark, eirik but whatever. the last part of it is amazing anyway

Aron Lewis covering Pearl Jam's black? He ruined it! :[ and I always thought that song was vrey sad anyways, but thats just me.

 

[yourdeadgroom]

Candlemass- Samarithan (this song always gives me chills, it's so beautiful )
The Gathering- Leaves (really nice song)
The Gathering- Kevin's Telescope (ultimate feel-good song)
Within Temptation- Mother Earth (actually, the whole album is quite uplifting, but this song is more-so )

Demon Of The Fall - Opeth

Sporadic Movement - CKY

here's some of mine anyway...

Sigur Ros - ( ) Track 4
Rik Emmett - Secret Wishes
Porcupine Tree - Collapse Light Into Earth
Gordian Knot - Grace
Opeth - Epilogue

Epilogue wouldn't definately be mine.

 

[KielbasaSausage]

PETULA CLARK - DOWNTOWN

 

[Yicjdic]

Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here (the song not the album)
King Crimson - One Time
Eric Clapton- Rollin' and Tumblin'
Steve Miller Band - Serenade (or pretty much anything else by them)
Tool - Parabol/Parabola (very beautiful set of songs)
Kyuss - Gardenia/Space Cadet
Therion - Clavicula Nox (sp?) or anything else by them

Doesnt need to be sad to be beautiful just needs to be full of a strong emotion to replace sadness...

Well most of the beatiful stuff I know is sad, but I guess "Summertime" may be a little uplifting or stuff. Anyways check this thread out: http://www.ultimatemetal.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=49639
The only uplifting song I really know of is "Eight days a week" by The Beatles.

 

[Gleemonex]

ah of course, how could i have forgotten the beatles. and the kinks. and ... oh i don´t remember what it was called.

Iceman, i´ve only heard one song off (). I guess i just find it hard to see/imagine them make music differently from what they have done in the past

 

[Fathomless]

I challenge you all to check out Jethro Tull's Weathercock, from the Heavy Horses album, if you think that non-sad/non-dark and beautiful is a contradiction of terms.

It's the most beautiful and happy and uplifting song ever.

 

[SentencedToBurn]

Porcupine Tree- All the Rest Will Flow

Type O Negative- Die with me

HIM- Salt in our wounds

well it really depends on what song because "(" [track 1-4] is happy and ")" [track 5-8] is sad.

 

[TrueBeliever]

I doubt anyone will actually download these, but I suppose I can ignore that and answer the question anyway.

The Cancer Conspiracy - Loft Complications
Kopecky - Bartholomew's Kite

ah, that would explain it. it was track 8, since Eirik did a bit of brainwashing on me about how wonderful it is and how i should download it

The lyrics aren't sad but the song definitely sounds sad to me... But I agree it's one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard... Incredible... Have you seen One Time on the Deja VROOOM DVD? The lighting and camera angles are perfect, I love watching that song.
