Song that can make you feel good no matter what mood you are in

SpectralJulianIsNotDead · 05.21.2006, 04:25 PM

I'm making a comp for my friend that is being isolated, and because of that, I have no idea what exact mood this person is in, although I'm sure it isn't a good one. I know some people like to listen to scary, wierd, depressing, etc. music when they are upset to be able to help them vent, but I also know that kind of music can really depress people too.

On the other hand, really stupid music- like say Scott Walker- Mathilde makes people like me laugh when I'm upset. Some people though would throw the CD player against the wall when hearing that kind of music and upset though.

So, how do I make a comp for someone who is probably in a really shitty mood but I have no way to tell exactly what shitty mood they are in?

Animal Collective - Winter's Love - Easily the happiest song ever.
Sufjan Stevens - Chicago
Arcade Fire - Laika
the Unicorns - I Don't Want To Die
Islands - Rough Gem
Mates of State - Ha Ha

Happy little songs.

'The Empty Page' - Sonic Youth

Yeah, anything by islands is good..

I'd say any merzbow or sunnO))). Really cheery music.

Maybe instrumental, or something blantantly unserious, you know that's obviously supposed to make you laugh. I don't know anything in particular to suggest, though, because it depends on your (or their) taste.

Xiu Xiu always makes me cry BUT cheers me up at the same time.

atsonicpark · 05.21.2006, 04:33 PM

b-52's - rock lobster.

SpectralJulianIsNotDead · 05.21.2006, 04:36 PM

Maybe I should just make 3 CDs named "Catharsis", "Silly-happy", and "Emotionally Void." And let them choose.

Pavement seems like a good option though. It isn't super happy so that it would annoy people, and it isn't depressing enough to make a girl cry.

Atsonicpark, just seeing the title of that song makes me smile.

HaydenAsche · 05.21.2006, 04:37 PM

How'd you know it is a girl?

I better fully explain the situation at hand. This girl I like happened to have a lot of shit things happen to her, and she had a really bad weekend, so she skipped school on monday (she's 18 and a senior, don't be accusing me of perversion) so her mom sent her to the hospital. She is back from the hospital, but her mom isn't letting any of her friends she her or communicate with her. So I have decided the best way to help her would be to bake her some cookies and make her a CD. So, I know she is depressed right now, but I don't know how depressed. For all I know she could be depressed past the point of being amused by silly music or feeling catharsis from sad music.

SpectralJulianIsNotDead · 05.21.2006, 04:56 PM

I think I'm actually forming an idea of what to put on it. Yay for me!

dazedcola · 05.21.2006, 10:36 PM

Husker Du- Flip Your Wig pretty much that entire record is so happy and cheerful, but not in a sickening way.

alyasa · 05.21.2006, 10:40 PM

I don't know, but (She's In A)Bad Mood always makes me feel better...

acousticrock87 · 05.21.2006, 11:08 PM

That kind of stuff is usually a "thought that counts" thing. Don't stress too much about it, she'll like the fact that you made it for her.
