What an amazing request! Music is the epitome of happiness for me and I don't get to talk about it as much as I'd like. I'm totally a metal girl but have a lot of rock songs that are close to my heart, so thank you for letting me share them :)
There She Goes - The La's - I grew up listening to this song, so it has enormous nostalgia for me. It's also such an infectiously happy song that I can't help but grin and just feel so deliriously happy whenever I play it. For a song pertaining to not being able to contain one's love and joy, it definitely passes on every ounce of those feelings to the listener. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eu2iv-vMKT8
Mouth - Paradise Lost - One of my favorite bands no wonder what genre they dip into, though they're predominately a metal band of the gothic/doom variety, this song and album definitely fall heavier on the rock side. For an album created during a creative slump, this is one of my favorite albums ever and possibly my favorite song period, though it is hard to pick just one. This is another song that just makes me so ridiculously happy listening to it and also gets me pumped 'cause it's so catchy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h010Epjzuk8
Shackled - Vertical Horizon - Vertical Horizon is an amazing rock band and I could list several songs here, but for some reason Shackled has always kept a tight hold on my heart. Maybe it's Keith Kane's voice, who sings such a very few number of songs as he is not the band's lead vocalist, and the sheer power and rawness and almost agony of it, but it's also the lyrics that really hit me hard. I put it on as many playlists as I can get away with. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oq6DG-Sm2zU
Zombie - The Cranberries - One of the quintessential rock songs in my opinion, Dolores O'Riordan's haunting vocals never fail to leave a mark. The climax of the song is one of the best I've ever heard and Zombie is timeless and powerful in a way that few other songs achieve. I've been waiting to outgrow this song with all the years I've been listening to it, and if anything it leaves an increasingly greater impression. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Ejga4kJUts
Everlong - Foo Fighters - This is just one of those songs that I have to crank every time it plays on the radio. It's just such a beautiful and uplifting love song and I love how fast-paced it is, how it just lifts you up and keeps you running and keeps your heart beating until it lets you off the ride at the close. Plus, it's just such a sweet love song; I know I wish this song was written with me in mind. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eBG7P-K-r1Y
