i don't really mean songs which you find uplifting in spite of the tone or lyrical content but ones where the lyrics are genuinely, unequivocally uplifting and at odds with the "sound" of the song.
i can't think of many examples though.

thanks crut.
Anyone can help me find the opposite thread? Happy sounding songs with depressing lyrics? I can't find it.

or creepy or dark lyrics... I'm sure there's a thread already but search function works in mysterious ways.
