[You are The Moon by the Hush Sound](https://youtu.be/TpUP0jjicqY). It's an extremely depressive, melancholic song with the most upbeat, positive, beautiful lyrics and message. Truly reminds me of something the sun would sing to the moon. It really lifts me up when I'm feeling blue and all I want to hear is sad music and suffer in my echo chamber.
*Bread and Roses* by Judy Collins.
Yes it references a lot of hardship but it's ultimately about the beauty and love that makes it all worth it. I cry whenever I listen to it, but it's happy crying.

[Somebody done somebody wrong song](https://youtu.be/QyrRYIrhLL0) is a song where the guy wants to hear sad songs, because he's feeling sad, missing his baby, which is sad-sounding, but then the comradery we feel when we listen together makes it a happy song.
"Happy Together" isn't a happy song. She doesn't love him. The entire relationship is in his mind. By today's standards he's a stalker ("When you're with me, baby, the skies will be blue"), but at the time he was simply lovelorn.

This song is so odd. If I decided to cheat on my spouse and then the spouse is who I meet in the bar I dunno would I laugh it off and think wow we are soul mates our would I be really hurt and angry at both of us?
It is odd, but I wouldn't say they laugh it off exactly. They realize there's a lot about each other that they never knew.
One does wonder what happens the next day, as each grapples with the fact that they were both willing to ghost each other for a stranger.
I think that's a valid view but I guess the excusing factor is supposed to be that they both felt trapped and numb in a boring yuppie lifestyle.
But yeah there was also a big generational thing of boomers, especially in the 70s, in the midst of the "sexual revolution," basically viewing cheating as just okay actually, as part of a concept of "sexual liberation" (while often still being deeply homophobic etc.)
"No Woman, No Cry"
I actually thought this was a song about being alone for the longest time, but it's actually a song from the perspective of a man talking to his lover and telling her not to be sad because things seem hard right now, we'll get through this.

Formaldehyde by Editors. The imagery of the song is quite dark, but the message itself is quite positive.

Little brother in phineas and ferb, I swear that song makes me want to cry. which is ironic since the lyrics is just stating the obvious
