What mood are you in?

As we all know, music can be a medium to express our personal moods. Each song has it's tone, mood or main idea, and there is a vast spectrum of feelings that can be interpreted through music.

So, the point of this thread is to post a song that represents how you're feeling at the moment. Maybe some Grateful Dead? James Brown? Mozart? Black Sabbath? Post away. And if you can, post lyrics too, so we understand what the song's about. Even the chorus of a song will do


I'll get us started. Right now, I'm feeling:

"I'm So Tired" - The Beatles

"Tuxedo Junction" - Glenn Miller and band

I'm feeling American Tune by Paul Simon, but I'm listening to Rebel Rebel by David Bowie.. Strange world, eh?

Hm.......it might be beneficial to post lyrics........I'll add that.

Right now, I am listening to Old Love, by Eric Clapton. Personally, It really relates to alot of things happening for me right now. The lyrics are beautiful, the guitar work too, the whole song is. It came off his 1989 release "Journeyman".

A breathtaking version from Hyde Park:

The Lyrics(They are repeating often):
(by Eric Clapton and Robert Cray)

I can feel your body
When I'm lying in bed
There's too much confusion
Going around through my head

And it makes me so angry
To know that the flame still burns
Why can't I get over?
When will I ever learn?

Old love, leave me alone
Old love, go on home

I can see your face
But I know that it's not real
It's just an illusion
Caused by how I used to feel

And it makes me so angry
To know that the flame will always burn
I'll never get over
I know now that I'll never learn

Chorus

I'm listening to the Aquabats!, so I feel pumped.

Prestige - Unstable System, no words only music, I listen to hardhouse, gabber, etc. independent from my mood But at the moment I feel just great, Christmas soon, I will have some proper time with my wife and little son.

Actualy is one singing band I like: Rammstein

I'm listening to the Prodigy. They're great for the pre-heavy work session I find. How ironic the live version of Spitfire I've got on starts with "I wanna know how the **** you're feeliiiing!"

"****ing Hostile" by Pantera.



Its not been a good day.........

The Art of Losing by Rise Against.

If any of you know the song, then you'll know what I feel like cause' the title is completely different from the style of the song.

Currently i'm listening to "Peaceful Easy Feeling" by The Eagles. A great song, nice lyrics, and I love the mellow atmosphere of it. Plus, I can sing along to it well... Kinda has a nice, happy feeling, with a tint of sadness... very nice

Lyrics:
I like the way your sparkling earrings lay,
against your skin, it's so brown
and I wanna sleep with you
in the desert tonight
with a billion stars all around
'cause I gotta peaceful easy feeling
and I know you won't let me down
'cause I'm already standing on the
ground
And I found out a long time ago
what a woman can do to your soul
Ah, but she can't take you anyway
You don't already know how to go
and I gotta peaceful, easy feeling
and I know you won't let me down
'cause I'm already standing on the ground
I get this feeling I may know you
as a lover and a friend
but this voice keeps whispering
in my other ear, tells me
I may never see you again
'cause I get a peaceful, easy feeling
and I know you won't let me down
'cause I'm already standing on the ground
'cause I'm already standing...
on the ground
oooo, oooo

Has a nice little mellow solo in it too....

Edit: changed my mind

"Trouble Breathing" - Alkaline Trio

I'd post lyrics but im afraid i might come off suicidal.

I love you rez.

Well, perhaps not really, but that's a ****ing terrific song.

You said tonight is a wonderful night to die
I asked how you could tell
You told me to look at the sky
"Look at all those stars, look at how goddamn ugly the stars are"

As for my mood: :hmmm: "I'm Dying Tomorrow" by Alkaline Trio would probably fit well, though I'm not listening to it right now.

Right now, I'm feeling like "Tomorrow Never Knows" by the Beatles

Turn off your mind, relax
and float down stream
It is not dying
It is not dying

Lay down all thought
Surrender to the void
It is shining
It is shining

That you may see
The meaning of within
It is being
It is being

That love is all
And love is everyone
It is knowing
It is knowing

That ignorance and hate
May mourn the dead
It is believing
It is believing

But listen to the
color of your dreams
It is not living
It is not living

Or play the game
existence to the end
Of the beginning
Of the beginning
Of the beginning
Of the beginning
Of the beginning
Of the beginning


It's amazing. There's a Beatles song for almost everything.
