    Have always thought of Creep as quite uplifting myself... but each to their own!

    Usually when I'm feeling down I listen to pretty upbeat stuff to try and cheer me up... so that would be
    Sonata Arctica - Reckoning Night
    Blind Guardian - Tales From The Twilight World
    Dragonforce - Sonic Firestorm
    Hammerfall - Chapter V: Unbent, Unbowed, Unbroken

    You've got the Love - The Source feat. Candi Station :o

    Flame Turns Blue by David Gray suits the mood sometimes too.

    Joan Osborne - One Of Us (the album)
    It has varying effects, depending on the situation.

    Mark McCabe - Maniac 2000


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 944 ✭✭✭NoDayBut2Day


    Usually an "I can do it" or "it's going to be ok" kind of song... usually varies...

    OK Computer
    Ludovico Einaudi - Le Onde


  • Registered Users Posts: 14,184 ✭✭✭✭Pighead


    When Pigheads feeling blue and he needs some cheering up he'll generally turn to Suedes Coming Up as a source of comfort.2 minutes into Trash and everythings ok again.
    Who Killed The Zutons also tends to do the trick.
    Moving this to the Music Forum

    anything by John Mayer or Howie Day - Australia... they are fantastic artists.. Could listen to John Mayer in any form !


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,287 ✭✭✭joe_chicken


    To cheer me up:

    Pet Sounds - those drums get me every time
    or
    Stephen Malkmus' first solo album
    or
    The Gypsey Kings - I dont know what they're singin about but god damn they do it well

    To keep me down:

    Kind of Blue
    or
    any Radiohead

    It depends what kind of upset. If im feeling really sad I will listen to 'Your song' from d moulin rouge soundtrack or the goo goo dolls 'iris' that sorta ting,

    Most times when Im upset im tryin not to be sad so I go for angry instead. Alanis Morrisstte or Marylin Manson up full blast usually does it for me

    Weezer - My Name Is Jonas

    Journey - Any Way You Want It


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,597 ✭✭✭Witchie


    Yeah John Mayer for me too....especially "your body is a wonderland" brings me back to the best seduction i have ever experienced...makes me smile while I cry!

    Stone Roses "She Bangs the Drums" helps me give the fingers to whoever has upset me "Kiss me where the sun dont shine, the past was yours but the future's mine, you're all out of time" always makes me feel better.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 153 ✭✭Dutchboy


    Jeff Buckley's album ''Grace'' Especcially tracks 6 and 10!

    Nice choice.

    Personally, the song I love listening to when I'm down is "A New Level" by Pantera. The whole album (Vulgar Display of Power) actually is great for getting you out of a bad mood.

    Or if I'm feeling down and need to pent some rage with some angry music then Marilyn Mansons King Kill 33 usually does it for me :)

    Hubastank... although theres only really one good song on the album :rolleyes: much to my dismay.. But I love that song (The Reason)

    Guns n Roses'll fairly send you over the edge if you're lookin to feel sorry for yourself aswell...

    Hmmm Bette Midler I like too, few old tear jerkers on her album.. (The Rose always sets me off)

    Its the ultimate feel good album, never fails to bring a smile to my face.
    I don't know the album, but that song makes me feel like I could eat broken glass and still be smiling.
