Everyone has a couple of songs that always makes them feel better, perks them up takes away the Monday morning blues. Sometimes these songs can be perfect for if your having a crap day and genuinely can change your mind about how your days going, they can spark amazing memories that you've completely forgotten about. Of course everyone's memories are different, some songs I like spark memories of playing SingStar on the Playstation and laughing so hard I spat Ribena in my mates face, (we weren't actually singing he farted down the microphone, and listening back to 'it's raining men' with that happening nearly killed me with laughter). I can fully appreciate that not everybody has songs that remind them of particular situations like that, but boredom does funny things.
For example Ben Howard's song 'Old Pine' reminds me of being on Woolacombe beach, completely relaxed just breathing in good air, talking about nothing and watching the sun go down. Completely calms me down, listened to it a lot recently but it always works a treat. To be honest his whole album is awesome for just having some down time to reflect on all the shit happening around you.
On the other side of the spectrum we have a song by 'Deadmau5' called 'Fn Pig', pretty recent song, within a month but its really good at getting me back to normal. Their are no lyrics in the song it's purely an 8 minute song that has a really good beat that actually made my ironing go so damn quick the other day, don't be so shocked I did some ironing, only once but I did some and I bossed that shit!!
Either way everyone has songs that change their mood or get them to look differently at things, so here's just a few of mine, they make me laugh, make me remember all sorts of things for hundreds of different reasons.
The Courtneers; You over did it doll
Drake; HYFR, Marvins Room
Blink 182; Wishing Well
John Mayer; Half Of My Heart
Temper Trap; Sweet Disposition, Fader
AC/DC; Thunderstruck, Back In Black
There's more but I can't put them all up for other reasons, check them out if you want, you'll all probably hate them, but screw you because I like them.

What we would we be without women
I think being a man can potentially be the most confusing thing in the world. Day to day is easy, aside from the morning pee, which can sometimes just be infuriatingly treacherous. I mean we can pick our own breakfast, get dressed and make it to work, what happens from their on out is either fate or dumb luck.
We're quite happy to go through the day taking things as they come, we might not be the fastest decision makers in history, but when were thinking were making sure that everything has been thought about before opening our mouths and changing our faces from every mans typical 'thinking face'. Sometimes this doesn't work and you get the odd stutter of words that then turn into a grumble, but we get there, just give us a minute.
This brings me on to why women just so happen to be annoyingly important, and there is, i'm afraid more than one reason. They are snap-to decision makers, we can talk lengthy over complicated talks with our mates and try to use over complicated phrases such, 'laissez faire', but in the end women take a decision and run with it, even if it's the wrong decision (they won't admit to it though), and that sorts us out lets us take everything on board and eventually come up with a long winded solution.
Could you imagine not having any interaction with a girl, it just doesn't happen, you can banter with them, have a laugh and still look at their bum without feeling bad about it. This is where the confusion of being a man comes back in. We're drawn to women (yes i'm fully aware we might not all be, but in some sense we still are), this makes it incredibly hard for us sometimes, knowing weather the way a girl is looking at us is because we've been staring at her bum and shes realised or she actually likes us, horrifically confusing. Then comes our emotions towards them, trying to explain how you feel towards a girl is like being a drunken bear, your looking at them, words want to come out, but instead all you want to do is fall over and sleep the whole emotional thing off. At the end of it all every man has a girl they would do anything for, literally, doesn't matter where they are on a night out if there stuck you'll go get them, buy them a drink, take them for a meal and constantly enjoy there company. Those are the girls you want in your life, the ones that give you a kick up the arse for putting a foot wrong, are honest with you and still only need a cuddle as payment.
As for the confusing part, I can't help you with that, just don't hold your mouth open for too long so the flies get in, or drool its never attractive.
