    For me, when I feel down I listen to Welcome to the Black Parade by My Chemical Romance.
    It always, always brings me up from my funk, if you look at my signature you'll see a couple of lyrics from it :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    Evanescence, Placebo and My Chemical Romance. Starting with either I'm Not Okay or My Immortal.
     
  4. Warren Zevon cheers me right up specifically

    Poor Poor Pitiful Me

    I'd lay my head on the railroad tracks
    And wait for the Double "E"
    But the railroad don't run no more
    Poor, poor pitiful me

    Poor, poor pitiful me
    Poor, poor pitiful me
    These young girls won't let me be
    Lord have mercy on me
    Woe is me

    Well, I met a girl in West Hollywood
    I ain't naming names
    She really worked me over good
    She was just like Jesse James
    She really worked me over good
    She was a credit to her gender
    She put me through some changes, Lord
    Sort of like a Waring blender

    Poor, poor pitiful me
    Poor, poor pitiful me
    These young girls won't let me be
    Lord have mercy on me
    Woe is me

    Well, I met a girl at the Rainbow bar
    She asked me if I'd beat her
    She took me back to the Hyatt House
    I don't want to talk about it

    Poor, poor pitiful me
    Poor, poor pitiful me
    These young girls won't let me be
    Lord have mercy on me
    Woe is me


    Gets me happy again every time.

    Hmm, if I'm pissed off, I listen to depressing/angry music as a kind of way of venting. Listening to music that contradicts your mood just kinda feels unnatural to me...

    Where is my Mind - The Pixies
    Gouge Away - The Pixies
    Sleep - Dandy Warhols
    Fucking Hostile - Pantera
    Indy Kidz - Cage the Elephant
    Pepper - Butthole Surfers
    Killing in the Name - Rage Against the Machine
    Bombtrack - Rage Against the Machine
    Mother - Glen Danzig
    Die Die my Darling - The Misfits
    Raining Blood - Slayer
    Iron Maiden - Iron Maiden (it was their first song ever and they named the band after it - great song)

    Hope that helped!

    Anything Elliott Smith makes me feel better. Even though that may seems counterintuitive, there is something nice about not feeling alone in being sad/down :slight_smile:

    I especially like Say Yes.

    When I'm down and want to wallow, I put on...

    Sia: I'll listen to the whole Colour album or just put "Breathe Me" and "Butterflies" on repeat.

    Coldplay: Only songs from Parachutes: Sparks, Shiver, Spies, and Trouble.

    Evanescene: Missing

    Birdy: Skinny Love

    Malena Ernman: Dido's Lament

    Cat Powder: From the Covers Record- I Found A Reason, Wild is the Wind, and Red Apples.

    When I'm down and want making my way up, I switch to...

    Ellie Goulding: The Writer, Under the Sheets, Starry Eyed, Every Time You Go, Salt Skin

    Three Days Grace: Get Out Alive, Take Me Under, Let You Down, Animal I Have Become, Never Too Late

    When I'm nearly back to content, I end with...

    SCREAMO! (!) (!)

    Arms Like Yours: The Entire "My Silhouette" Album. Just...breathtakingly beautiful. Sometimes I will only listen to this over and over in this stage.

    Too Late the Hero: Statement of Purpose, Hold Your Applause, Scary How Fast, Life As Fiction.


    Then I'm all smiles again because by that point I've stopped thinking about my real life and instead started day dreaming about me and an imaginary best friend rocking out in several different scenarios to the awesome sounds and screams of those great musicians. Then any other music I listen to immediately after will be to further my day dreams or create new ones. If I won't continue with listening to music, then I finally feel up enough to continue on with other things like writing, reading, or watching my shows. Point is, I've stopped being in reality by then. Screamo is my happy music. :grin:

    When I'm feeling down I like to wallow in that feeling for a bot so usually will listen to Somebody Like You by Adele or Fuckin' Perfect by Pink, they usually make me bawl when i'm feeling down.

    When I'm angry at someone I listen to ignorance or playing god by paramore
    When I'm really lonely I'll listen to any Adele song
    And when I'm just sad for no reason I will listen arms by Christina Perry

    Yesterday I was feeling kinda down and let me tell you this - listening to Hands clean and Head over feet don't help. :grin: I mean, I love Alanis, and these songs are really great, but not a good idea if you're feeling down. I tend to listen to sad songs when I'm getting depressed which is a huge mistake. So, I always tell myself not to listen to Celine or some other artists that have sad songs, but... I always end up listening to this kind of music. But then there are always I Will Survive and YMCA so... yeah. I guess these are my feel-better-songs.

    ---------- Post added 4th Mar 2013 at 07:48 AM ----------

    I try to avoid listening to Someone like you. :grin: I love this song, I love all songs from 21, but this song in particular and One and only are just don't-even-think-to-play-these-songs. :grin:

    Same here. And then I feel ever more lonely. :dry:

    When I'm down and want to try and feel better, I listen to "Happy (Jason Nevins Remix) by Leona Lewis. The original is great - but this one always brings me up!

    Superhero by Garrison Starr

    Garrison Starr singing "Superhero" - YouTube

    We are ten years old
    We are holding our breath...underwater
    Eardrums burstin' from the pressure
    We can touch the bottom
    Won't you come away...with me?
    Oh, we are flying high
    (Bare?) carpet on...feet
    And we are airplanes today
    We can do anything
    We can do anything
    And I don't ever wanna leave the stage
    I am a superhero these days
    And I don't ever wanna leave my age
    I am a superhero these days
    Baby where am I gonna go?
    There must be a place for me I know
    Try and try as I may
    I can't make sense of a word I say
    And I don't ever wanna leave the stage
    I am a superhero these days
    And I don't ever wanna leave my age
    I am a superhero these days
    Touch my cape -- I'll take you
    So, c'mon touch my cape and I'll take you
    C'mon touch my cape -- we're gonna make a whole new world
    And I don't ever wanna leave the stage
    I am a superhero these days
    And I don't ever wanna leave my age
    I am a superhero these days
    Garrison Starr * Superhero Lyrics | Album: Eighteen Over Me
