Mood Inspired Music
 

Generally I think people base what they listen to at a particular time on the mood they are in. I do this all the time. Post a song that describes your mood right now. It doesn't have to be lyrically associated but the general sound and feeling it creates inside you. :)

But later tonight I am going to catch up with a good friend I haven't seen in far too long and watch his new band's first gig so all we be better and less angry soon.

Im pretty annoyed and angry at the moment. Also I miss my friend who lives back in my old hometown so here is some grindcore made by him.

Pretty self explanatory.

I'm such an emotional basket case when left unchecked. And its impossible to predict whether it's the mighty highs or the lowly lows that accompanies such occasions. The song is a leeetle bit cheesy at times, but I love the voice. Good cover :).

"Here is some grindcore made by him" - hehe, don't know why, but I found that cute!

Well you had to steal my band but...



I tend to find that I can usually find a song by them that fits my mood the majority of the time.

I don't know how the **** I feel right now. Confused, Dizzy, Light Headed, Tired,

Mick Jagger and The Rolling Stones are very mood inspired.

YouTube - rolling stones - under my thumb

Free Bird is peerless in getting me up and about, that & Whiskey in the Jar by Lizzy.

Soulsavers I think are also very atmospheric and easily one of the most mood altering out there, on many levels.

been driving around keeping this mood

It's really sad, I know.
I was in this mood a couple of nights ago and it just hasn't left me.

The lyrics are simple, but strong.
I feel it needs no more explanation.

If I need an energy jolt and a blast of bass:

When I'm feeling melancholy (never has a brass band sounded so perfect for a song especially considering it's subject matter):

When I want to hear a church organ:

I love that prodigy song! I hadn't even heard it before, so getting a hold of it!

Have you got the whole album it's from?

I like the violin in that Kate Nash song, "Nicest Thing," AwwSugar. The violin was my favorite part. I hope your mood isn't so low this evening. I don't know of any song that matches my mood now. I'm not really feeling much of anything. Is there a song like that? A moodless song?

I was really hoping you would have an opinion on the Kate Rusby song I posted especially the fact that it incorporates Brass which is essential to the song on many levels.

Here is an edited version unfortunately missing a lot of the Brass outro but still beautiful to watch. That woman could sing the phone book and make it sound stunning.

This song still pretty much describes my mood.

I don't know if there's a moodless song. I'll let you know if I find one.

Some mornings, when I'm not totally awake yet, and with one of those "psychotropic sunrises" we have here (I can testify to that), I'm in a daze. And the mood is like...



...and finally like a mere wishful thinking, because reality and the harsh facts come... :(

This song is complete and utter hopelessness. I didn't pick up on it at first but I was going through Le Tigre's discog today and this was the least happy song on it. It stuck with me.

A Band for a mood
 

idk about you guys but i listen to bands according on my mood..

don't get me wrong, that's not the only criteria they also have to be good lol

like for instance,

sometimes i just want to listen to Mellow stuff to relax abit.. in those times my go to bands are :

GBV (Guided by voices)
The Smiths
Frank Black & the catholics
Fionna apple
Elliot smith

When im in my "Hardcore" mood, i don't really listen to metal per se, just bands that pump me up

The Misfits
SOAD
NOFX
Bad religion

Now, for my Wacky moods, which is like my default mood.. i like bands that are strange but sound good.. bands that have and undertone of being non-sensical but fun

The Pixies
They might be giants
Of Montreal
Deer hoof
Melt banana
Sonic youth

How bout you ppl? :)

A few days ago I saw this song in a magazine article entitled "50 Songs to Cheer You Up." All of the other songs on the list made sense, so maybe I'm taking these lyrics too literally.

Maybe I'm wrong, but for me, too much Radiohead can be somewhat depressing.


Radiohead - No Surprises - YouTube

i actually don't know any Radiohead tune that would cheer me up lol

That one you posted and this one are the closest thing but they don't really cheer me up either

This always cheers me up, seriously.

and this makes every morning worth getting up for and I have had many mornings when I don't want to get up ever.

This song! Really, this whole album got me through a lot.

How I feel right about now:

lol i think you and i have a difference reference to the song, that song bums me out :(
But i think it's my fav radiohead song



(My video is sadder than your Jackhammer :bringit:) lolol

Right now, I feel like this:

Confusion, a lamentation upon the human condition, celebrity, etc. etc.

"Into the Groove" by Madonna and "Things Can Only Get Better" by Howard Jones are effective mood lifters.
