Yeah sorry boss I've got to take the blame for that, ok... focus... uplifting songs... I've got it!
One by U2.
What can I say. Great lyrics, great riff, great... hair?
Great song.
I can't believe no-one mentioned it yet.
Others:
I'm a Scatman by Scatman John
Bottle Rocket by The Go! Team
Dancing in the Moonlight by Thin Lizzy
And I have to put this one in(drumroll please)
Stairway To Heaven
 
The best version of Stairway to heaven I've ever herared was played on a banjo (guitar effect) and in the style of a hillbilly. I guess it just stood out as "different" - that's Bill Bailey for you though.
 
Eric Clapton unplugged- Would you know me in Heaven

Ahh YES!, thanks for that one SOcRatEs, such a sad touching song about his son.

Paranoid Guy and Masque: No probs guys, a little debate just added some spice.

My daughter was only 3, maybe 4 years old when this song came out, Butterfly Kisses. I do not know the writers name, he is sort of a wannabe song writer with this one hit wonder. He wrote it for his daughter.
That ones a little too mushy for you guys..but there might be a dad or two amongst you who might relate.

She Talks To Angels-Black Crows
Road Trippin'- Red Hot Chilli Peppers
These smiling eyes are just a mirror for
These smiling eyes are just a mirror for
Your smiling eyes are just a mirror for


Great list gents.
 
An odd one to add to the list
The "Lords prayer" to the tune of "House of the rising sun".
I heard it once sung acapella by a young girl (Mill Rat) on ASU/Mill ave. Tempe.

I'm probably wrong here, but is it not Tears in Heaven?
And Kirock, that Butterfly Kisses thing rings a bell, I'll ask my dad :D
 
It seems to me no-one in this thread has mentioned the most obviously uplifting,and heavenly songs in existence.I refer,of course,to every track on the album "Blue Horse" by The Be Good Tanyas.Canada`s finest product.
 
Let the beat hit'em - Lisa & Lisa Cult Jam
Nearly anything by Sasha, but there are exceptions. It's all special to me. I was part of the scene back in the 90's.
For less chemical I'd have to say Broadsword(bring me my) by Jethro Tull.
Hard times of old England - Steeleye Span, I love this. I could go on, and on. Dock of a bay, Sunshine on a rainy day, Bring it back by Moloko. I guess music has a powerful effect on me. Sometimes stuff by KrissDamage (German Gabber) is uplifting for me.
 
as far as instrumentals go, has anyone heard that one from Bering Strait...the young Russian band??? Can't think of the name of the cd or the song title. Its very very good though!
 
Well I can't find a link to a video of the song, but here's a link to the lyrics of Butterfly Kisses by Bob Carlisle. BOB

If you have a daughter, it's a very touching song.

Cheers.
 
Bush - Glycerine

Glycerine is a chemical used in perfumes and medicines and also to preserve food. The title comes from the explosive applications of glycerine to stabilize nitro: in an interview Rossdale said the song was about how love was like a bomb.

Download it or something, legally of course *cough*.
I tried to find a stream but none worked.
 
See if anyone can beat this for obscurity, one of my all time favourite songs is Waiting Room by Fugazi.
If anyone can come up with the name of the album that song is from (without using a search engine of any sort) i will be seriously impressed,
