It's a snow day here in New York, so I'm at home which means I don't have much to do. So, I created a playlist with a theme of happy voices in cheery songs. Then again, Adam Green doesn't always sound as upbeat as he does in "Morning After Midgnight," nor does Keven Barnes is a number of Of Montreal songs. But here are songs that are meant to be sung along to.
01 Of Montreal - "A Sentence of Sorts In Kongsvinger"
02 The Apples In Stereo - "Signal In The Sky Let's Go"
03 The Bird and the Bee - "Love Letter To Japan"
04 Jens Lekman - "I Saw Her In The Anti War Demonstration"
05 ELO - "Mr. Blue Sky"
06 Adam Green - "Morning After Midnight"
07 Architecture In Helsinki - "Hold Music"
08 Au Revoir Simone - "Stars"
09 Sigur Ros - "Inní mér syngur vitleysingur"
10 The Harlem Shakes - "A Night"
11 Patrick Wolf - "Get Lost"
12 Tokyo Police Club - "Your English Is Good"

Since tomorrow's Valentine's Day, I kind of found a purpose in making a playlist. Eight wonderful songs, most of them light melodies, are uploaded for your enjoyment.

01 Absolutely Cuckoo - The Magnetic Fields
True, I'm in love with you / But you might decide I'm a nut / Give me a week or two / To go absolutely cuckoo.

02 Sleep Tonight - Stars
You will cry / And I will cry / 'Cause all the love's / Alive tonight.

03 Brandy Alexander - Feist
He's my brandy alexander / Always gets me into trouble / But that's another matter / Brandy alexander

04 Through the Backyards - Au Revoir Simone
Baby, help me please / In knowing this / 'Cause showing never tells / Was it just a breeze? / Was it a kiss? / Breathless, exquisite chills.

05 I've Got You and You've Got Me (Song of Contentment) - New Buffalo
But when they dim the lights / Forgetting my stage fright / I find that little smile / 'Cause I've got you and you've got me.

06 Hand In Glove - The Smiths
Hand in glove / We can go wherever you please / And everything depends upon / How near you stand to me.

07 Know-How (feat. Feist) - Kings of Convenience
What is there to know? / All, this is what it is / You and me alone / Sheer simplicity

08 I Want to Hold Your Hand - The Beatles
Oh please say to me / You'll let me be your man / And please say to me / You'll let me hold your hand.
