cause you had a bad day
 

Do you have a song that when you are down or have had a bad day, just cheers you up? Share it with us.

mine is Bad Day by Daniel Powter
super cute music video also.

Grey Matter - Oingo Boingo



Who do you want to be? - Oingo Boingo

Plea from a Cat Named Virtute by The Weakerthans always makes me smile:)

Sorry, this song annoys the shit out of me. Also, I don't know if they still used to do this but American Idol used to play this song when people got kicked off I think! haha.

Mine lately has been some Beatles. Hey Jude usually makes me feel better than others, but there are so many good tracks from them obviously enough. I'll Be Here Awhile is another one by 311 that picks me up from a downer.

3AM by Matchbox 20 used to do it for me; now I can't really think of what songs I listen to on a bad day. I don't have that many of them to really need to listen to a song I guess.

Toronto has made my affinity for being bi-polar worse so this is an interesting question; subways without music makes Taylor something something.

Here are a few I actually play to pick me up.

This Is Not A Test - She And Him
Florida - Modest Mouse
Head Over Heals - Tears For Fears
M79 - Vampie Weekend
Anything by The Strokes
The Fever - The Von Bondies
Shoulders and Arms - Tokyo Police Club
Ares - Bloc Party
Anything from Of Montreal's last two albums (especially Hissing Fauna)
Dancing Choose - TV on The Radio
The World We Live In - The Killers (Only a sometimes song)

My number one pick up song has to be "Music And The Mirror" from A Chorus Line. Yes, A Chorus Line. The orchestration is so fucking sick; and the melody is incredibly. Fucking incendiary.

If I need to be cheered up because I am angry: "Crazybitch" by Buck Cherry.

If I need to be cheered up because I am sad: "No Envy, No Fear" by Joshua Radin.

And finally if I need to be cheered up because I am just down for no good reason: "Lesson Learned" by Ray Lamontagne.

Led Zepplin==Fool In The Rain. It never fails. It always puts me in a good mood. Dunno why.. it just does.



Bob Marley==Three Little Birds "don't worry about a thing"




Dave Matthews Band==Lie In Our Graves I've shared many good times and memories with this band and friends..

the list could go on and on

Girl troubles= Lucero. They have lots of bitter southern rock tunes to get over a girl with.

Just plain pissed at the world= Minor Threat. I feel like I can channel my aggression through theirs....

I don't know why but this song and their voice relaxes me.
