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.
