The Best Music You Have Ever Heard?


To be specific, what three pieces of music are guaranteed to put a smile on your face and make you feel happy and relaxed? Plus, needless to say, happy with your system. I know the answer to the question is highly subjective and personal. Here are my three choices (in no particular order):
 
1. Sunshine In The Rain, by Ryan Farish  - From the CD Beautiful.
 
2. Summer Wind, by Frank Sinatra - From the album Strangers In The Night, streamed via Qobuz.
 
3. Samba Pa Ti, by Santana - From the MFSL UltraDisc One-Step album Abraxas.
 
Please share your thoughts on your selection and feel free to nominate more than three choices.

Thank you fot the suggestions.  I find his works interesting, but very demanding.  i will add your suggestions to my collection.

With all the music in the world, 3 is a very small number.

You Got Gold - John Prine  (Life is a blessin’ - a delicatessen of all the wonderful things you do)

Hypocrites- The Wailers (from the Bob Marley Songs of Freedom box set. Have not found on streaming)

This Must Be The Place - Talking Heads

 

Okay - these also make me happy;

If I Needed You - Emmylou (by the late, great Townes Van Zandt)

As I Went Out One Morning - Bob Dylan

And It Stoned Me -Van Morrison

Crescent City - Lucinda Williams

The Harder They Come soundtrack

Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain - Willie

Gato Barbieri - Europa 

Earth, Wind & Fire - Imagination (at the end where Philip Bailey goes off)

These don’t make me happy, but rather affects me emotionally and causes me to make that ugly musical bliss face. I can’t listen to these tracks in public.
