Sounds happy to moi.

Just look at the lyrics:

Maybe we were together in another life
Maybe we are together in a parallel universe
Maybe our paths are not supposed to cross twice
Maybe your arms are not supposed to go around me

When I see you again,
As I always do
It appears to me that
Destiny rules
And the spirits are ruthless with the paths they choose
It's not being together,
It's just following the rules
No one's a fool...

Just following the rules... no one's a fool
Just following the rules... no one's a fool
Just following the rules... no one's a fool
No one's a fool...

I never knew you cared for the line "When I see you again."

I still disagree, but I understand what you mean now. Interesting. I guess the theme of compromise (I don't get to have you here, but maybe some other me does somewhere) just isn't happy at all to me.

Wow, I think this one is pretty sad. Not as sad as The Tower, but still sad. Maybe it's that I can't separate it from the reputed backstory.

I guess it could be read either way.

I guess all of her sad songs except for Storms end on a hopeful glimmer.

Sure, no problem. Do you prefer McD's or Burger King's dollar menus?

But my favorite is still the angry Petty version. I think the piano demo is sad. I think the album version is her sitting back reflecting.

Good pick. One of her sillier sounding songs, along with Paper Doll.

I never thought of HAEWAFY as sad (just super-sappy) until I heard the Walsh story.

I have a heart of stone. B & The B still doesn't touch my heart in the slightest.

How in the hell is Enchanted a happy song?

"Crying in the morning
Trying to be strong
Waiting for the spring to turn into the fall
Love don't mean what it says at all
My destiny says that I'm destined to fall"

Makes me want to throw a party.

Yeah, but the thing that gets me is that she doesn't regret anything, because she has faith that they'll be together eventually. And she doesn't just hammer it home at the end, she pushes it throughout the whole song. I think that's what it's all about; not grief, hope.

I was thinking about if Enchanted was really a happy song or not. True some of the lyrics are pretty depressing, but at least the music is really upbeat
