Title: Songs That Put You In A Good Mood
Post by: Catacombs on 02 Jan 2009, 22:44

This was kind of inspired by the 'which songs have made you cry thread'.  What songs can always put you in a good mood?  Like no matter what'd going on when you hear the song, you just feel kind of better about everything?

For me, "Keep Fishin'" by Weezer, "Change" by Blind Melon, and "American Girl" by Tom Petty always do it for me.  I don't really know why, they just sort of strike up something in me where i feel great while listening to it.

man, everything I listen to puts me in a good mood.  But that is because I listen to Folk and that is a genre for men with vaginas.

"Too Close to See" by Strung Out.

Mainly for these lines:

"Sometimes you get too close to see a whole different side of what life can be...
And if you stare too long it all becomes a blur and it's easy to forget just who we are,
Don't stare too hard, take a look around..."

I can be feeling absolutely shit, and those few words will put things into perspective.  I'm planning on getting "Don't stare too hard, take a look around" tattooed, as part of a design that my friend's made for me.

The alternate take of "Let's Take a Walk Around the Block", from the C.D. reissue of Ella Fitzgerald Sings the Harold Arlen Songbook, where she almost fluffs a line, recovers in the nick of time, and laughs and cries out "Whoa-ho!" before continuing onto the rest of the (hilarious) song.

This. Especially Metal Church, but there is just something about the song Wrecking Crew.

I don't want cheering up often, though. I'm usually happy with the calm state that a lot of doom's varieties put me in. See: Agalloch, MDB, How Like a Winter, and some of Down III (especially nothing in return).

Here's some thoroughly non-indie songs that put me in a good mood.
Thunderstruck - AC/DC
Sweet Child o' Mine - Guns and Roses
Beethoven's 9th symphony, particularly the final movement. And not just the melody everyone knows.
You can't get less indie than Beethoven. It just isn't possible.

Incidentally, I don't have Thunderstruck on my Zune. I want to legitimately purchase it, but of course, AC/DC-- the internet...
And Walmart for that matter. They don't have "The Razors Edge."

Shut up. Zunes are awesome.

isn't this thread pretty subjective? I'm listening to Meshuggah - Dancers to a Discordant System, and I'm totally in aural bliss. But it's because I love djent, and polymetrics, and Meshuggah. I think if you already like the band, you're going to be happy when you hear their music.

Robots in Disguise - Turn me up.

When I was working for a break down company in what was probaly the most depressing job I could have got, I would have to listen to that song both on the walk to there and the walk back. Always made me happy dispite telling some old 80 year old dear who broke down two hundreed miles from her home that she'd have to pay in excess of £500 for a tow-ride home.

Pachuca sunrise - minus the bear
All of "Highly Refined pirates" - Minus The Bear

Minus The Bear is where it is at.






I can't think of anything that makes me like really really happy. "That Green Gentleman" by Panic At The Disco and "Float On" by Modest Mouse are like songs that say "life's okay" so they are like good for the depressed.

I would say the two closer ones that make me a bit happy is "Jammin'" and "One Love" by Bob Marley. Songs that can make me feel good. Also "Grass" by Animal Collective. I just can't stand the "pow pow now now" from the song lol.

I've got to agree with those that have put Okkervil River up there. "Westfall" and "So Come Back I Am Waiting" invariable fail to depress me. Me = weird.

Also, "Flagpole Sitta" - Harvey Danger. Lifts the spirits every time, seance or no.

Victoria's Secret by Sonata Arctica is a good one for me and on a much heavier note, The Sacrilehous Scorn by Dimmu Borgir (I dont know why either- it just does). Otherwise a lot of stuff by Hot Hot Heat seems to and Futureheads can pick me right up, just for the upbeat nature of the music at times.

A lot of music puts me in a good mood, and in a lot of dif't genres, too.

If I'm really pissed and I want to lift my spirits, A Wilhelm Scream- The Rip, William Blake Overdrive, and Less Bright Eyes, More Deicide on repeat does the job
If I'm just mad a bit, Action Action- 8th Grade Summer Romance for some reason
If I'm in a "blah" mood, Jukebox the Ghost- Hold It In, Good Day, Static Through the Heart, and Under My Skin on repeat
Also, there's one Backseat Goodbye song (I can't remember the name of it now, it's on my iPod, but not my computer and I dont' wanna go look it up)

And, in general, Build Me Up Buttercup by The Foundations, Barbara Ann by the Beach Boys, and I'm A Believer- either "by" the Monkees or the Smash Mouth cover

That's because you're a horrible failure at life and fuck you man. Why don't you go die in a fire. I love you though I'm so sorry I didn't mean any of that you and me and Jeff Lynne can still all be friends right?

I'm sorry, these new meds are wreaking hell on my emotions.

(I didn't see anyone else mention it though)

I know what you mean, there's this speed/power metal band I listen to (whose name escapes me) that has this awesome jazz breakdown in the middle of one of their songs out of nowhere.  It is hilarious.

There's quite a few bands that do that in the tech side of things, albeit with a more serious angle to it. It's fantastic everytime though!
