Listening to Glenn is good for your health!

My top 10 "feel-good" Glenn solo songs:

1. Part of Me, Part of You
2. River of Dreams
3. Ain't It Love
4. This Way to Happiness
5. The Heat Is On
6. That Girl
7. True Love
8. I Got Love
9. My Girl (Live) - stole that from FP!
10. Sea Cruise

That Girl isn't unambiguously positive - but it always makes me sigh happily! I'd include Smuggler's Blues but I figure any song with a line like "the blood began to spill" shouldn't be in the "make you glad to be alive" list. lol

My top ten feelgood Glenn tracks, in no special order:

POMPOY
True Love
This Way To Happiness
Livin' Right
The Heat Is On
Soul Searchin'
Sea Cruise
That Girl (borrowed your idea, Soda!)
Ain't It Love
River Of Dreams
oh, and Wild Mountain Thyme - I knew it would be hard to limit it to ten!

All of these really lift me. Glenn's music fills so many different emotions. Yesterday I had an upsetting day, and listening to It's Your Life nearly brought me to tears as I was driving home.

Wild Mountain Thyme fills me with awe rather than making me feel good. It can make me cry too. It's just one of those 'we're not worthy' songs.

As for True Love much as I love it it again is more 'awestruck' than 'feel good'.

I would like to say that Sea Cruise is a feel good song but.... it is so slight. I know he was trying to lighten up on that album but the song really threw me because it was the last thing I was expecting, and I never really got over that feeling (even if I now know the Eagles played it).

[glenneaglesfan]

I was thinking about the songs that fill me with emotion rather than simply 'feel good' today. I still rate True Love as one of the best feel good songs ever - who could fail to be lifted in spirits listening to that? I took a few listens to warm to Sea Cruise, but now I love Glenn's version, and again for me it's a pure delight.

My top ten emotional Glenn solo songs:

It's Your Life
I Did It For Your Love
Working Man (slow version)
All Those Lies
That Girl (merits two lists)
Let's Go Home
Brave New World
I've Got Mine
I Volunteer
Lover's Moon

These are just my choice for now.

Interesting idea, GEF. Right now, my 10 most "emotional" Glenn songs are:

That Girl
Part of Me, Part of You
River of Dreams
I Volunteer
The One You Love
Lover's Moon
I Did It for Your Love
It's Your Life
Working Man (slow)
After Hours

[Freypower]

POMPOY
A Walk In The Dark
Let's Go Home
I Did It For Your Love
That Girl
Soul Searchin'
The One You Love
After Hours
Lover's Moon
Wild Mountain Thyme

Desperado is an Eagles song, but his version of it is one of the more emotional experiences that I can think of.

I STILL didn't include True Love. The song seems unique to me. I don't know where I would classify it. How I would love to see it performed.

I could do 'themes' like this all day!

Sorry I'm a little slow with this and I'll probably be just as slow with Part 2-Emotional Songs. My favorite Glenn feel good songs are, in no particular order:

1. Part of Me, Part of You (oops-this is #1!)
2. River of Dreams
3. Partytown
4. Sea Cruise
5. I Found Somebody
6. True Love
7. The Heat is On
8. Call On Me
9. This Way To Happiness
10. I Got Love

All of them just lift my spirits when they are playing.
