No fast food for me, thanks.

Makes me want to throw a party.
Some people are going by the sound.
To me a happy song has a happy sound and happy words.

But the first few lines don't sound too hopeful, IMO.

Again, in a lot of instances, there tends to be a disconnect between the mood/tone/emotion of Stevie's lyrics and the music that accompanies those lyrics. For instance, Enchanted is one of the bounciest seemingly happiest tunes I've ever heard, yet the lyrics are a total 180 of the music. Same with Gypsy, and The Wild Heart etc...

So maybe the question should be: What are the happiest and saddest songs in terms of music and/or lyrics? Stevie doesn't make it easy for us to lump the two together.

Stevie's saddest songs are easy to list... her happiest songs, however, require a lot of thought!

Happiest (Well, they make me happy at least):
1. Say You Will
2. Stand Back
3. Enchanted
4. Destiny Rules
5. Rooms On Fire

Saddest:
1. When I See You Again (is anyone really surprised?)
2. Battle Of The Dragon
3. She Still Loves Him (I know the feeling, Stevie)
4. Beauty And The Beast
5. Doing The Best That I Can

GREAT choice, Johnny. This is an all-time favorite.
But when you say you know the feeling, do you mean for Waddy or for Mick?

Goldfish should be a sad song, but to me it sounds like she's smiling all through the recording.

I guess we're the only ones to think Destiny Rules is a happy song.
