happy songs
Some songs I can count on to perk me back into wakeful joy, that stretch the definition of "guilty pleasures," and have been tried and tested out in the heat of anxiety or inertia. Anything to put me back into the thrill of being handed the AUX cord in a friend's car or jamming out alone in the driver's seat to the car stereo. A glaringly short and incomplete list¹:
Additionally, half of all the songs on Foster the People's Torches, most things Arcade Fire, and p. much anything Mumford & Sons.
¹ Overwhelmingly biased toward recent pop hits; I'm more than capable of putting together diverse and eclectic playlists when I want to!
