When you're down and just need to be uplifted...

[Just Willow]

what do you listen to?

i listen to teh song Dumbedore's Army from the Harry Potter 5 soundtrack. it's os flighty and lovely and i smile every time i hear it and it actually feels like there's a balloon or something blowing up inside my chest. so yeah, that's what i listen to when i need ot be uplifted. you?

[elenasaur]

Hm..
I guess that I don't have specifically uplifting music.
I kind of go for one of two types of music when I'm feeling gloomy.
First choice is something energizing, though not necessarily upbeat. The Flobots, the Killers, Lady Gaga, maybe even Born Ruffians...
Or, something more mellow that will just let me wallow in gloominess. Bright Eyes, Ben Sollee, the Band of Brothers soundtrack..

[Iceeh★]

I listen to Sarah McLachlan whenever I'm depressed, cause it evens out my mood and makes me mellow.

[xprophecygirl]

yeah, if i'm really upset i stick with depressing music. usually feist, or bright eyes.
if i'm trying to get myself pumped up i'll stick in some guilty pleasure music like poison. hah.

[Jsebold87]

When I'm in a down mood I like to listen to Avril Lavigne, "Losing Grip" is one of my favorites for that mood. Sometimes I go for Fergie music too, just depends.

[Secret Scoobie]

I have quite a few songs I listen to regularly for this exact reason! They cheer me up

I urge any of you to try one or all of these and see if they work for you too

[Hellbound Hyperion]

Panic at the Disco's Pretty. Odd. album.

Do You Wanna Date My Avatar is now on the list as well.

[Beaumonde]

if i'm upset i generally listen to music that i can relate with whatever i'm upset about, so it's not usually very uplifting music

something i enjoy singing along to usually helps aswell
like Two Weeks In Hawaii, i sing louddddddd

[Mayor Of F♥ckville]

I usually don't listen to uplifting music.. I listen to


"Underneath The Weeping Willow" - Grandaddy
"Nonphenomenal Lineage" - Grandaddy
"Jed's Other Poem" - Grandaddy
"Soon You Will Be Leaving Your Man" - Bright Eyes
"It's Cool We Can Still Be Friends" - Bright Eyes
"Lua" - Bright Eyes
"Reckoner" - Radiohead
"All I Need" - Radioihead
"Thinking About You" - Radiohead
"High and Dry" - Radiohead
"Video Tape" - Radiohead

and like a zillion more songs..

[BenTaylor3907]

Uplifting music for me would mostly be Hip Hop, R&B, and Rap.

I *love* this song. It makes me so happy. Usually my get-happy songs are upbeat, but this one is just too pretty to not make me happy!

When I'm down I'll usually pop in Beck's Sea Change and drink some rum. The album is somewhat depressing but also very beautiful and relaxing

[snizapman6294]

i listen to the most depressing, emo music ever. then i go to sleep. that's my remedy.

[HannahSlayer]

Here Comes The Sun - The Beatles.

That song is amazing.

And I also like listening to the Killers, or the Cranberries.
