[ninjaRiv]

Let's see if I can get this thing right...

RHCP- Make you feel better. because come on, it's in the title.


DVDA Now You're a Man. Gotta have something fun and silly, am I right?!?


Ylvis- Stonehenge. Who the fuck DOES build a Stonehenge?


EDIT: Got this Youtube thing first fucking time. YEAH!

 

[Gomi500]

Every time.


Picks me up every damn time, helped me so much the last few months.

Bless you for loving anything Yoko Kono related.

 

[MisterGobbles]

This has got to be the most emotionally affecting album I've ever listened to.

 

[Bonk4licious]

This song right here can lift me up out of any bad/sad mood. Anneke's chorus is just so cheery sounding

The entire album is excellent as well.

YES, this is one of my favorite albums!!! I'm a huge DT fan (Dream Theater AND Devin Townsend) and that album absolutely picks me up, the simple yet complex upbeat theming of all the songs just blows me away.

Personally, I download an album a week and it's hard for me to choose, but my quickest way to feeling better is generally through upbeat techno music, or indie rock. Lately, The Dear Hunter has my ears under control with this one:


Picks me up when I listen to the instrumental, though the lyrics are for you to interpret how you will.

 

[Extra-Ordinary]

Dear Prudence by The Beatles will lift me up from anywhere.
I could forget which way is up, and this song will bring me in that direction.
