Happy songs that make you cry?

Yeah I don’t have much to write about. But I’m hearing a lot of great songs. Simple evocative piano FTW!

Patty Griffin – Burgundy Shoes, 2007

“My friend said ‘What the heck you don’t have any happy songs at all. You really should try to write a happy song.’ So I went home, and this is my first stab at happy song. It goes like this – and of course it’s got to do with shoes. And my mum.”

We wait for the bus that’s going to Bangor
In my plaid dress and burgundy shoes
In your red lipstick and lilac kerchief
You’re the most pretty lady in the world
