Tomorrow never knows by The Beatles, for when you need to take a step back and this what it's all about

Wicked Game - Chris Isaac
Under The Gun - Sisters Of Mercy
This Woman's Work - Kate Bush
Landslide - Fleetwood Mac ("time makes you bolder/even children get older/and I'm getting older too" Glorious)

Upbeat mood

A new career in a new town - David Bowie.

[scarednoob]

skweeki yessss "sway" is one of my favourite songs ever which I in no way got from "American pie"

[Crazypetlady]

Wagon wheel old crow medicine show such a lovely song I dont know how anyone could dislike it

[molyholy]

The Boxer by Simon and Garfunkle. Amazing coming of age song and I was brought up on the album Bridge Over Troubled Water. Reminds me of my dad who has since passed. Reminds me of the first band I loved and still do. Reminds me of nights drinking with my siblings and mum and doing karaoke. I knew all the words to Cecelia when I was about 6 and it was my confirmation name as she was the patron saint of music. Little did the priest know it was because I adored Simon and Garfunkle.

[TheresADogOnYourBalls]

'Tilted' by Christine and the Queens - slightly bizarre French electro pop, but totally addictive
'Runaways' by The Killers - great driving song
'Bring Me To Life' by Evanescence - for singing along to loudly
'Boulevard of Broken Dreams' by Green Day - just because it's great

[captainfarrell]

Ohmrbadger Yes, Song to the siren...., beautiful, moving.

[AgentCooper]

I listened to Song to the Siren at work this week and burst out crying. Oh dear. It is absolutely beautiful, though.

My most played songs right now are Darkness on the Edge of Town by Bruce Springsteen for when I'm feeling knackered and pissed off with everything - it's really powerful, with a great melody - Upside Down by Diana Ross just because it's fucking great and Gloria by Patti Smith which is so bold and sexy.

[captainfarrell]

Ah Agent I just did too when I posted that clip.
You just reminded me of another Patti Smith classic, Because the night!

[LittleLionMansMummy]

One Day Like This by Elbow. Works for any occasion I've found!

[bogofeternalstench]

Speaking In Tongues - Hilltop Hoods
For when you get disheartened and cross with the horrors and hatred in the world.

[Anonymouses]

Turbulence by bowling for soup.

Sums up life brilliantly and I listen to it when I need a kick up the arse

[dannydyerismydad]

Come on Feet by Pete and the Pirates.

Great for bouncing round the kitchen in a carefree manner.

[FreckledLeopard]

The most beautiful, haunting, makes-the-hairs-stand-up-along-your-spine songs that I'm listening to at the moment are:

House on a Hill - the Pretty Reckless
The Sound of Silence (Simon & Garfunkel. There's also another incredible version of this song by Disturbed).

[Babybowser]

Articmonkeys do you wanna know love this song atm

[Charlesroi]

I Say A Little Prayer - the mighty Aretha Franklin
On Her Majesty's Secret Service - Propellerheads

[2nds]

The Blowers Daughter By Damien Rice, very slow, such a beautiful song.

Autumn leaves by Paolo Nutini, thought provokingly beautiful.

[Destinysdaughter]

Every single song on the album 'Pala' by Friendly Fires is brilliant IMO! 😀

[Destinysdaughter]

Ooh this is a slightly unusual one! It's a cover version of the Blower's Daughter by two fantastic Brazilian singers, Seu Jorge and Ana Carolina. Completely changes the mood of the song, I love it, have a listen...

Lost Witness - Red sun rising (Lange remix) best driving track
