This song has such a sweet and mellow tone. It's beautiful. It really makes you happy when you hear it. Even though the lyrics aren't exactly the happiest, the song isn't depressing at all.

This song has the same feel as the first song. It's very a very sweet little love song. But it's not in your face or too upbeat. It's what every love song should be, mellow with no dramatics and relaxing.
3. Paper Aeroplane: Angus & Julia Stone

This song doesn't have the happiest lyrics. But, it's not too slow or sad. The lead singer has a great voice that keeps your attention and all in all it's very soothing.

This song is more slow paced and the lead singers voice has a way of lulling you. But not to sleep. It keeps you in this fog of calm that's actually very nice after a very busy and stressful week or day.

Ben Gibbard truly has a gift. His voice is like a long massage and his lyrics really work their way into your head. He has a way of conveying human emotion that isn't too overwhelming. And, to top it all off, the music is really soothing.

Once again, I am caught by surprise. I thought the Twilight heartthrob was just another teenage girl fantasy and I didn't really find anything about him too great. But, when he opens his mouth to sing, you get a little blown away. It's a very nice surprise and I recommend this song for a day lounging in the sunlight on your sofa.
