Uplifting Songs.

[Cylob]

So you're 1cm from the floor. Which songs never fail to lift you.

Carter USM - Lean on Me

[ShyShy]

I can't think of any uppers right now. But, Cure's "Just Like Heaven" is what I play when I need to chill. Very calming for me.

manowar - courage

[Cylob]

PJ Harvey - Good Fortune

A well-strummed acoustic guitar. Ahhhhhh.

French, Frith, Kaiser, Thompson - Hai Sai Oji-San

UJ

[ShyShy]

This is weird, but, bear with me :D

I'm dedicating 3 Door's Down "Love Me When I'm Gone" to Allie. Honey, he'll come home to you safely. Late at night, when the desert's cold and dark, he'll think of you and warm up. So, wipe your tears, take a breath and look towards dawn, knowing another lonely night has passed and he's one day closer to coming home to you. Love ya. :)

[taylormemer]

SlipKnoT - Gebtly waorks for me also, Metallica - The Unforgiven theres a few others.

[Cylob]

That's one thing about nu-metal - the sheer pace will be uplifting. It's just the vocals that annoy me.:( Have you heard that Canadian band 'Kitty'???

Anyway, sorry Taylor.;) I will not bash nu-metal again this week.

Curve - Split into Fractions
Curve - Cotton Candy
Stereolab - Crest (infectious chorus in that track)
Stereolab - Ping Pong (used in many a car advert)

[taylormemer]

Im not affected by your comments dude, its alright.

The thing is with those songs is that the vocalistst aren't shouting, they are singing in a soft way, and the guitar and drums is slow and calming

The AMG review of this is totally wrong. They didn't even get the year right. :mad:

[Twilightseer]

Cylob

Never heard about "Don't do it" by New Order, any info about that song ?

[Cylob]

One of the B-Sides from Fine Time seer'. A nice bit of synth.

Fine time is a good track, it's somehow delirious, have to give it another listen soon :)

[Cylob]

Also on the single was Fine Time (Steve Silk Hurley Mix). 6:17. This was when Hurley was in his prime (89, 90, 91). He did a cracking remdition of Inner City - Good Life.:)

Another summery album (a touch pyschadellic):
Primal Scream - Sonic Flower Groove (1987)
http://image.allmusic.com/00/amg/cov200/dre900/e994/e99443fh4da.jpg

Again, very misunderstood by AMG. This is easilly a ***** album.

[SemiTechGeek]

The Disitllers: City of Angels & The Hunger

The songs that remind you that when the chips are down and someone else is in trouble, that it's up to you to save the day. Rallies you spirit and makes you do extraordinary things for your fellow human.

"Damnit shithead, you have a turbodiesel under the hood and a rig full of meds, what else do the fuck you need? Go save the poor bastards!"

[Cylob]

I find this to be rather uplifting:

[Cylob]

Lamchop - Grumpus

The summer oozes from this track. Ideal for the chill.:)

[NJK]

[Cylob]

As long as you realise it's sad.:) I lost that one over the weekend!!! I also lost my beautiful avatar collection....

But no fear - this will life the spirit:
