Your Smile On Fire

...from the song Xavia

my happy music & what's yours?

     Everyone has their happy music. The stuff they listen to when they want to cheer up or dance around (not that I dance because I really don't) or when they need their music to be just as happy as they are (assuming, of course, that they're in a good mood).

 

     My happy music happens to be really really redneck honky-tonk hillbilly country. Like right now I'm listening to Tim McGraw's song Down on the Farm. Realizing that this sort of stuff is my happy music strikes me as a wee bit ironic, seeing as how country music is known as the depressing stuff. (Joke: What do you get when you play a country song backwards? You get your truck back, your dog back, your hubby/wifey/gf/bf back, your house back, etc.) But seriously, nothing I ever listen to makes me as happy as when I turn on the radio and find a song like How Do You Like Me Now? (Toby Keith) playing. And before now it never really struck me as odd. But then suddenly I was listening to Kate Voegele's song Wish You Were (which, by the way, I seriously need to find her CD because I am like in love with this music) and it was making me kinda sad (yeah... I tend to like sad music) and so I was thinking, wow, I need to listen to something happy. And I found a bunch of redneck stuff.

    And then I thought, wow, this is probably really weird.

 

     So now I'm asking y'all (haha): what's YOUR happy music?

My happy music tends to be really upbeat poppy dance music — and for some reason, it's better if I can't actually understand what the singer is saying, haha. Like, I looove Alizée, this French pop star. I turn on "Moi... Lolita" and am instantly dancing around singing along at the top of my lungs.

Right now I'm in love with NEWS, this Japanese boy band, and more specifically Yamapi, one of the members, ahaha. Watching videos of them on YouTube, dancing around and such? Oh man. It makes me wish I could do each of their dances, haha! Usually, I'll get up and hop around a little bit, if anything.

Yeah. I guess if it's upbeat and comes with a dance and is not sung in english, it will cheer me up so much. Man, I'm weird XD
