Velvet Underground - Sunday

Dinosaur Jr. songs are really uplifting. especially the earlier albums.

i bleed - pixies

anything by pavement
Sunday Morning by Velvet Underground
Meat Puppet's version of What to do

All the music I like makes me happy in the same way, no matter what it is.

The Velvet Underground & Nico
The Arcade Fire- lots of the EP and a few tracks from Funeral (good memories, nostalgic)
The Blood Brothers
Animal Collective (most)
Broken Social Scene (most)
Daughters
Dinosaur Jr
Sonic Youth (most)
Minor Threat
Fugazi
Islands
XBXRX

(and anything that I have good memories attached to).

I've actually always found In Utero to be great for getting out of a bad mood, which is odd, since it's essentially a suicide note to music. I think that's what made Kurt's suicide so especially depressing, the way so many people used his music to get out of the very mood that he wasn't able to escape himself.

anything by Ruins.

Haha

"We're all water" and "Sisters O Sisters" by Yoko Ono.
You can find them in the last CD ("A Story") of the Onobox.

Here goes the lyrics for the first one:

There may not be much diff'rence
Between chairman mao and richard nixon
If we strip them naked.

There may not be much diff'rence
Between marylin monroe and lenny bruce
If we check their coffins.

There may not be much diff'rence
Between white house and hall of people
If we count their windows.

There may not be much diff'rence
Between raquel welch and jerry rubin
If we hear their heartbeat.

We're all water from diff'rent rivers,
That's why it's so easy to meet.
We're all water in this vast, vast ocean,
Some day we'll evaporate together.

There may not be much diff'rence
Between eldridge cleaver and the queen of england
If we bottle their tears.

There may not be much diff'rence
Between manson and the pope
If we press their smile.

There may not be much diff'rence
Between rockefeller and you
If we hear you sing.

There may not be much diff'rence
Between you and me
If we show our dreams.

We're all water from diff'rent rivers,
That's why it's so easy to meet.
We're all water in this vast, vast ocean,
Some day we'll evaporate together.

Hey!
