I really like the way this song sounds--it kinds of gives a sense of timelessness. I think this fits the idea of the song well, at least to me, because I think it's talking about the pure and irrevocable pleasure that simple things in life can give you, but the things that are pointed out are just examples, and the wonderful thing is that this song is just a celebration that this world is full of things that can make us happy, even though we might not even realize it sometimes. It's like a celebration of that "YES" feeling when you just did something that you never thought you could do. In another sense, I think that the song is kind of a tribute not only for experiences, but for the ability to observe the world, as in the idea of Ralph Waldo Emerson's transparent eyeballs, and marvel in the detectable wonder that it has, as if it were a painting.
