Sing No Sad Songs

[Barmaid]

If you are feeling a bit down and melancholy and want songs to match your mood - what are you "go to" songs either to cheer you up or to help you cry?

[Cloverjo]

Nothing Compares 2U. Sinead O'Connor.

[emmie]

don't cry much these days, but there are songs that make me wistful.
The Lark Ascending is one, by Ralph Vaughn Williams, an inspirational piece.

Kevin Rudolf Great Escape always has me howling.
If I need a pick me up In The Jungle never fails to turn it around

[TWR]

The song I want playing when I leave this earth,

"When will I See You Again!

The 3 Degrees

[Baldric]

TWR, I'll go for, "Another one bites the dust"

[Mamyalynne]

It often depends on the cause or person that has brought my sadness about.

Samuel Barber's Adagio is one that both uplifts and allows the tears to flow.


Thinking of you.x

[Peter Pedant]

oh bam bam -
do not be sad !

(wipes away a tear from bam bamz angelic face)

listen to La Traviata

sudduv starts jolly and gets sadder

[Buenchico]

My autism means that I don't really have big highs or lows of emotion.

However if I'm feeling a bit tense this is a great stress-buster

[Buenchico]

. . . a bit of rock & roll helps to energise me

[Buenchico]

. . . and this is guaranteed to bring a smile to my face ;-)

[Buenchico]

^^^ 'Elke Brooks Sings Leonard Cohen' might be an interesting album - but probably not one to listen to when you're depressed ;-)

[ethandron]

R.E.M. Everybody hurts, in fact many R.E.M. songs.

[237SJ]

I can't see the point in listening to sad songs if you feel sad because that just makes you feel worse, no?

[ethandron]

Sometimes you just need to wallow though, quietly by yourself.

[237SJ]

I don't do wallowing. Shout To The Top by the Style Council is quite good to say "*** you" to the rest of the world though

[237SJ]

I knew that would be deleted :-)

[whurules]

Diggiloo diggiley by herreys always makes me feel happier

[Peter Pedant]

if you gonna wallow then do it with a decent claret
oops perhaps I should be telling a lawyer to drink ....
