Making me happy is no mean feat, I come across as the grouchy type hence why everyone felt the need to congratulate me upon my purchase of a Mr. Grumpy t-shirt. Thus any song that could make me happy is clearly deserving of an award or, failing that, a mention on my blog. So I've chosen this song, not because it's a particularly cheery song, but because it's a song that will always cheer me up. It got me through the darker (both literally and metaphorically) days of my time in Sweden. It's easy to forget, in the absence of contact, that you have friends sometimes especially in a country where silence is seen as good rather than awkward. The song itself is a work of art, well constructed, beautiful lyrics and excellent instrumentation (the acoustic version is also well worth checking out). So enjoy and feel a little cheery.
As a side note I've been reading through the 30 Day Challenge and there are a lot of very similar titles for days so I'll try save some of the good tracks for later in the series.
On the side of that side, Chicago is also a great driving/journey/walking/stop motion song.
