Such a tune Another song that people confuse with that (well I do, used to get them so confused before, maybe because they were released within a month of each other)....
Florence and the Machine - You've Got The Love
James - Sometimes
Ocean Colour Scene - The Day We Caught The Train (probably my favourite summer song ever)
Most people on here have very commercial taste. Would've liked to see a few less obvious choices. Here are a few from a certain era:
Cast - Fine Time
Mansun - Wide Open Space
Space - Me and You Against the World
Bluetones - Slight Return
Seahorses - Blinded by the Sun
Verve - Lucky Man

In fairness, your picks aren't exactly obscure - all the albums those songs appear on were very successful in their day, and the ones released as singles did pretty well on their own too. I'd say 'Lucky Man' is an obvious choice in particular .
All good songs nevertheless, but does 'Wide Open Space' really make you feel good?!? I think it's pretty depressing, personally!

I didn't mean to sound so critical about others' choices; I was just hoping to find a few forgotten gems in the thread, rather than the type of tunes you'd typically find on a record company-compiled "feeling good" album.
My choices were all from a particular period of my life and were included on a mix tape that I had on constant rotation on my car stereo many summers ago. I love each of the songs for their gorgeous melodies. I agree that none are particularly obscure. I'm definitely not pretentious about music and will listen to anything from cheesy pop to death metal.
I'm off to study the lyrics to Wide Open Space now to find out what's so depressing about it; I just loved the tune.
Spagna - Call Me
Westlife - When You're looking like that
Ricky Martin - Livin' La Vida Loca
Diana Ross - Chain Reaction
A-Teens - Upside Down
Men At Work - Down Under

Thanks for that! I ended up watching the whole film again, classic
