dmsteyn,

Great choices! I'm not familiar with the first song, but I will definitely check it out.

I think that if I was to choose songs that made me happy, the list would go on forever. Depending on my mood, various songs can cheer me up. I chose to do some songs that are inspirational, although it is in no way all-inclusive.

The Mountain Goats - Amy aka Spent Gladiator 1 - YouTube

"Do every stupid thing that makes you feel alive
Do every stupid thing to try to drive the dark away
Let people call you crazy for the choices that you make
Climb limits past the limits
Jump in front of trains all day

And stay alive
Just stay alive

Play with matches if you think you need to play with matches
Seek out the hidden places where the fire burns hot and bright
Find where the heat's unbearable and stay there if you have to
Don't hurt anybody on your way up to the light

And stay alive
Just stay alive"


ramshackle glory ~ your heart is a muscle the size of your fist... - YouTube

"your heart is a muscle the size of your fist.
keep on loving.
keep on fighting.
and hold on, and hold on,
hold on for your life."

Rilo Kiley - A Better Son/Daughter - YouTube

"Your ship may be coming in
You’re weak but not giving in
To the cries and the wails of the valley below
And your ship may be coming in
You’re weak but not giving in
And you’ll fight it
You’ll go out fighting all of them"


Defiance, Ohio - Petty Problems - YouTube

"It's so easy being oblivious
And its easy being self-absorbed
Inside of eighty different stores and coffee shops
The whole world's not like yours
There are many kinds of problems
Not all of them are like yours
Or mine, but I forget that all the time

Oh drama are you all in my head
But problems aren't really all that bad
So distracted by the things that I dont have
How sad"


7. A Certain Shade of Green - YouTube

"A certain shade of green
Tell me, is that what you need?
All signs around say, "Move ahead"
Could someone please explain to me
Your ever present lack of speed?
Are your muscles bound by ropes
Or do crutches cloud your day?
My sources say, "The road is clear
And street signs point the way"

Are you gonna stand around 'til 2012 a.d?
What are you waitin' for
A certain shade of green?
I think I grew a gray watchin' you procrastinate
What are you waitin' for
A certain shade of green?"

Andrew Jackson Jihad - Personal Space Invader - YouTube

"Oh welcome to this world,
have as much fun as you would like
while helping others have as much fun as you are having.
Be kind to those you love, and be kind to those you don't.
But for Gods sake you gotta be kind,
and respectful because we're all one soul.
Be the best ****ing human you could be!"


Andrew Jackson Jihad - No More Tears - YouTube

"No more tears; no more crying
No more sighing, lying, or dying
No more HIV; no more tweaking
No more drugs or immune systems being weakened

Just happy times and half-a**ed rhymes and mimes
Because mimes are dears
but most of all I want no more tears

No more bad times; no more bummers
No more SUV's and no more Hummers
No more racism; no more discrimination
No more fat dumb f***s keeping people out of our nation

We're all one big band across this land and we should sing in tune
Let us grow the balls to break the walls, we've got to do it soon

But most of all I want:
No more tears; No more crying
No more sighing, lying or dying"

I really like your choices, Something-Vague! I didn't know any of them, but they were all interesting. I'm not much for the more acoustic sounding songs, but I liked the inspirational quality of them. Thanks for posting!

Some others that I've remembered:

Bruce Springsteen - Waitin' On A Sunny Day - YouTube

Hard times baby, well they come to tell us all
Sure as the tickin' of the clock on the wall
Sure as the turnin' of the night into day
Your smile girl, brings the mornin' light to my eyes
Lifts away the blues when I rise
I hope that you're coming to stay


Manic Street Preachers - Autumnsong - Youtube

Wear your eyes as dark as night
Paint your face with what you like
Wear your love like it is made of hate
Born to destroy, and born to create

...

So when you hear this Autumnsong
Clear your heads and get ready to run
So when you hear this Autumnsong
Remember the best times are yet to come


Bob Marley - Redemption Song - Youtube

Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery;
None but ourselves can free our minds.
Have no fear for atomic energy,
'Cause none of them can stop the time.
How long shall they kill our prophets,
While we stand aside and look? Ooh!
Some say it's just a part of it:
We've got to fullfil the book.

Won't you help to sing
This songs of freedom-
'Cause all I ever have:
Redemption songs;
Redemption songs;
Redemption songs.

Bright Blue - Weeping - Youtube



I knew a man who lived in fear
It was huge, it was angry, it was drawing near
Behind his house, a secret place
Was the shadow of the demon he could never face
He built a wall of steel and flame
And men with guns, to keep it tame
Then standing back, he made it plain
That the nightmare would never ever rise again
But the fear and the fire and the guns remain

It doesn’t matter now
It’s over anyhow
He tells the world that it’s sleeping
But as the night came round
I heard its lonely sound
It wasn’t roaring, it was weeping

And then one day the neighbors came
They were curious to know about the smoke and flame
They stood around outside the wall
But of course there was nothing to be heard at all
"My friends," he said, "We’ve reached our goal
The threat is under firm control
As long as peace and order reign
I’ll be damned if I can see a reason to explain
Why the fear and the fire and the guns remain"
