Music can bring you down can’t it? ...<i>and</i> pick you up. .. and you can soo wallow in it either way.<br><br>I guess I tend to focus on and notice music that fits with a prevailing mood, like unrequited love, or if you feel you messed up with someone somehow, or are mad for someone, or you broke up. There is usually stuff out there you can make fit.<br><br>When I am really fed up a nice affirming romantic comedy, some chocolate and some good red wine…<br><br>What Nietzsche said, “That which does not kill us makes us stronger.”. Mind you his hair really needed a style makeover, so how seriously can you take him? Surely a really smart person would have had deep thoughts <i>and</i> looked a bit more cool? ^_^<br><br>A song that usually picks me up is 'Perfect Day', by Hoku, sort of kick ass good mood stuff. Almost forces you to be cheerful.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3334391160365031546.post-80414090171360303982008-08-18T11:14:00.000-07:002008-08-18T11:14:00.000-07:00Bunny- Yes, but only experience taught you that.Pe...Bunny- Yes, but only experience taught you that.<br>People who learn life through what others tell them, live lives others constructed for them.<br>People who learn life through their own successes and failures actually get to live.<br><br>CherryPie- It isn't always easy, no. But I think on the whole, it's better to regret something you have done than something you haven't done.<br>I think its freeing yourself from the baggage is the hard part.<br><br>X-dell- I'm prone to brooding from time to time.<br>I actually find music like this fires you up when you're in a black mood, it kind of envelopes you.<br><br>Wish You Were Here, by Pink Floyd. Class album when you're pissed off.<br><br>Fusion- Sometimes I think our generation got used used to being lied to young, but took a long time to work out what actually was true.<br><br>I do have a lot of faith in our generation though. I know a lot don't, but I think when our turn comes, we'll surprise everybody.<br><br>I think we're a lot wiser than our parents were :)<br><br>Kate- They have to be one of the greatest bands of the nineties. The only real question, is whether you consider The Bends or OK Computer their greatest album. I actually plump for OK Computer, because I thinkn its more stylistically compact and better sequenced than the bends, but I'm in a minority amongst my friends in this opinion.<br><br>Moggs- This is why I love Depeche Mode. I do not believe there is a situation in life for which a DM track can't be used as a backing track (in case you hadn't worked out, I'm one of those people always has music in their head).<br><br>When I'm really fed up, I have to go to the pub, I'm afraid. And get drunk. And do things I will regret in the morning.<br><br>I think Nietzche's hair was possibly not unusual for his time. Great man, anyway. I'm hoping one day to see his full rehabilitation, but sadly, popular prejudice still seems to be working against it.<br><br>I find 'Imagine' does that for me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3334391160365031546.post-6611480812334378862008-08-19T00:59:00.000-07:002008-08-19T00:59:00.000-07:00Crushed.

The great benefit of a romantic comedy and some good wine is that provided you don’t overdo the wine there is no cause to regret it in the morning. ^_^ <br><br>When dealing with chocolate I find it is always better to pre select the amount you plan to eat, put the rest somewhere inconvenient to reach, then break it into small pieces and let-them-melt-in-your-mouth…<br><br>As for rehabilitating Nietzsche... Frankly he would need a complete makeover. ;-)Cool hair cut, some gel maybe neat close cut facial hair with a beard. Fashionable glasses. You can’t excuse his hair based on his times, You’ll be trying to excuse the 70s next, or mullets. Really! ;-)<br><br>And he had some unfortunate views on women. >:-( He might as well have written the lyrics to Ace of Base’s “All That She Wants”. He should be so lucky.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
