Whispers of the North isn't so much a "happy" tune, but a positive outlook one, of enjoyable gliding along, be it on water, touring skis, snowshoes (sorta) and its a real "up" tune for me. And the harmony tracks in it have almost a cathedral-like sound to them, I love it

Definately Bend in the Water.

Somewhere USA starts out as a real happy go lucky song - I guess the hitting on at the bar (when you get down to it) is not so much the happy part per se.... but not exactly unhappy either LOL , its an upbeat tune.

Summertime Dream for sure

Lazy Mornin' - happy by virtue of being relaxing - kinda like the old cousin to it - "Saturday Clothes"
