    What music do you listen to when you're down? What music picks you up and puts you back together and reminds you the world isn't as shitty a place as you think it is?

    I like either loud screaming songs when I'm really angry and when I'm sad I like "See You Tomorrow" from the HTTYD soundtrack. Anything with a good beat to it helps too.

    Also I can't listen to "Through the Fire and Flames" without feeling better about anything.

    Good question. :grin:
    Usually, I listen to songs like "Meltdown" or "Fear Garden" because they take a scary/depressing message and put it into a cheerful beat. XD

    These songs can usually pull me out of a bad mood, the first one largely because of its lyrics, the second one largely because of its tone.

    I listen to 21 Guns by Green Day, and Piano Man by Billy Joel. Which is kind of strange since neither song is particularly cheery, but it works for me, and I guess that's what counts.

    Most of all the music here is foreign to me! Quite nice listening to new music.

    Depends why I'm feeling down/in a mood as the following perk us up for differing reasons -

    Albums
    Savage Garden - Affirmation
    The Killers - Hot Fuss
    Fleetwood Mac - Rumours
    Darren Hayes - Spin
    The Lion King OST

    Songs
    Simple Plan - Perfect
    David Bowie - Space Oddity
    Elton John - Rocket Man
    Rosenstolz - Willkommen
    And some mid-1980s to 1990s cheese (Belinda Carlise, Sheena Easton, Take That)

    Mahler's 2nd Symphony always takes me to a high spot ... it just takes an hour and a half to get there!!!
