Happy Harmonies

About

"Music washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life."
-Berthold Auerbach

Whether your day has been delightful or dreadful, music will invariably make you feel better. My hopes are to post lyrics and links to songs that will put a grin on your face for at least a few minutes, even if it is the first time you have cracked a smile all day.

You can navigate through the search bar above, the archives tab at the top, or by browsing at your leisure. If you would like to check out tags in order to find something in particular that you may like, there is a tag cloud at the bottom of the page containing genres, decades, and artists.

Please do not steal the Happy Harmonies logo and use it elsewhere. I know they're not that much (I'm not too fantastic at graphic design, really) but they are my creation and I'd like to keep them related just to this site.

That's all! Enjoy!

Not Fade Away - Buddy Holly and the Crickets

I adore Buddy Holly beyond belief and this song is so cute and delightfully upbeat. This is the first song I taught myself on guitar (not really that crazy of a feat… it’s extremely easy!) because it is an instant mood-lifter. Since I learned it, I have plated it many times to boost moods and it works really well. I love the Rolling Stones version as well, sure, but there’s just some magical flair about Buddy Holly and his Crickets singing it. It’s playful, simple, and light. If the Holly hiccup doesn’t bring you joy, surely the bouncy background ‘crickets’ will make you smile.
