whats bluelight?
And some really good songs here- checkout Spunge-kicking pigeons, I love this song
-------------------- Now I have become one with the universe, at my will I can command the gods of moon and sun to tear open the matter of the universe and reveal the light of eternity. We shall walk through the crack of time and space and abandon all hope of physical feelings and emotions. We shall be the drifters of time; the wanderers of space and the beings that even the gods shall fear. Our minds will exist, emerging with whatever we wish and controlling whatever we desire. Fear and emptiness no longer exist. We now live in a world of ecstasy and pleasure, freedom and sublime. We have reached Nirvana.

hmmmm happy songs?
"Hey Jude" the Beatles. Its impossible not to sing along.
"Incense and Peppermints" by ???? Just plain crazy in a hippy stoner sort of way.
"Red House" by Jimi Hendrix. He showcases some of his best blues licks and the lyrics are great, and it feature the best intro to a guitar solo ever. "OWWW Thats all right, I still got my guitar, Look out now"
"I almost cut my Hair" by CSN&Young, An anthem to long haired hippys.
"Sunshine keeps Falling on My head" Not sure if thats the title, but its a damn happy song.
"Kokamo" Beach Boys. Singing about the carribean, doesnt get much happier.
Thats all i can think of right off the bat. peace
