1) Beautiful Day - U2
2) Hello, You Beautiful Thing - Jason Mraz
3) Semi-Charmed Life - Third Eye Blind
The top happy song that I chose was “Beautiful Day” by U2 because it includes exquisite imagery, personification, and hyperbole to depict feelings of complete bliss. In terms of imagery, the entire bridge of the song depicts breathtaking visuals, saying “See the world in green and blue” and “After the flood all the colors came out.” Personification is used often to bring the world to life, so to speak, and a great example of this is when the speaker says, “It’s a beautiful day / Don’t let it get away.” Hyperboles are used throughout the song to exaggerate the beauty of everything the speaker is seeing, as shown in the following line, “See China right in front of you.” Personally, my favorite part of the song is in the following lines, which I believe exemplify true happiness the most: “You're on the road / But you've got no destination / You're in the mud / In the maze of her imagination.” I believe that this song is the all-time best song to demonstrate happiness.
