>> By choice what song/record do you play when:
>> You're down and want to get up ?
Depending on which kind of "down" I'm feeling,
"Stop And Smell The Roses" - Mac Davis
"I Will Survive" - Gloria Gaynor
>> You're up and want to keep it going ?
Here there is also more than one,
"I Can See Clearly Now" - Johnny Nash
"I Made It Through The Rain" - Barry Manilow
>> Memory song or one that makes you sad anytime you hear it ?
There are several that have that effect on me:
"When Will I Be Loved?" - Everly Brothers
"Yesterday" - The Beatles
True, these are all "oldies", (guess I'm dating myself a bit) but
those of you who know the words will probably understand why this
"oldies" fan chose them. For those of you who don't, I will gladly
send them to you as soon as my life slows down a bit and I have a
chance to type them in.

No songs really bring me "down"; I just get lost in them. "Country

| The Blues! In the car on the cassette while pounding the highway
or at home alone with my state of mind. B.B. King, Muddy Waters,
and so on. They often sing simple messages that let me know I'm
not the only one in the place I'm in. Often, the music is up in
tempo and that, alone, gets me up.

173.12 | Music helps but just not enough sun | NANOOK::SCOTT | Looking towards the sun | Fri Dec 12 1986 18:11 | 28 |
|
Usually when I'm driving to and from Portsmouth on good
old Rt 4 at speed limit - 20 every day I've found classical
helps to kill the frustration so I listen to Bach, Holst, or
Vivaldi (seems to be popular).
If I'm in a party mood, I have some tapes I dubbed,
consisting mainly of "New Wave" or what ever it is they call
it.
If I'm in a light/gay mood I like to listen to Walter
Carlos (Switched on Bach).
If I'm in a down mood, William Ackerman or George
Winston helps. I also play this if I'm in a peaceful? (I
guess relaxed) mood.
I've been playing John Williams "Star Wars" when I've
been up in the shop building my boat. Strange but I've
found that this tape helps me to think and solutions become
very clear.
Hope John Williams gets me to the sun soooooon, I need
it bad.

| Ah, so many answers to this question. It is certainly true that I turn
to music when feeling low, beat, down, etc. as well as routinely in
happier times.
For insightful songs about human relations, it's hard to beat some of the
songwriters who came of age in the '70's: Jackson Browne's "Fountain of
Sorrow" is a classic, and more recently "In the Shape of a Heart". Anyone
else remember "Have Mercy, Love" by Janis Ian? Then there was a
singer/songwriter by the name of Bob Holmes around Cambridge a few years
ago who did a song I think of occasionally when reading this file -- it's
called "Great Days". Also "Boy with the Violin" (Buskin & Batteau);
"Let Me Live" (Rachel Faro); Pamela Brown (Leo Kottke); ...
More in the mainstream: Lyin' Eyes, Take it to the Limit, etc. (the
Eagles), Listen to the Music, Takin it to the Streets, etc. (Doobie Bros.),
Flower Lady (Phil Ochs/Jim & Jean), When You See A Chance, Take It; Still
in the Game; Back in the Highlife (Steve Winwood); Baker Street (Gerry
Rafferty); too many more to mention.
And ultimately, Bob Dylan. Poet nonparell. "Take me disappearing through
the smoke rings of my mind, Down the foggy ruins of time..."

re: .11
"Yesterday When I was Young" was written and originally sung by Charles
Aznavour. He is (or was) considered one of the top three poets
(chansoniere(sp?)) in France. He writes very beautiful poetry and music,
much of which has been translated into English. He sings in English,
among other languages, but his songs are almost sung by others over
here.
Re: all the rest
My favorite music is probably anything by Kitaro. Some of his music
makes me feel sad, which in turn, makes me feel up.
Anything by the Moody Blues makes me feel more assertive, if that makes
any sense. I listen to them when I feel angry.
Anything by Vivaldi, Bach, Albinoni, et al, definitely makes me feel
up.
New Age music (like Kitaro) is provocative in a way. I do more serious
thinking when I listen to this kind of music.
I do household chores, unpacking, paying bills, whatever to top 40's
stuff from the radio.
What can I say? I get lots of different kinds of things from many
different kinds of music.

Sound Track from Jesus Christ Super Star, just love the music and
sensitivity of human interaction -- nothing to do with religion.
Your up and want to keep it going ?
"The One That You Love" album by Air Supply. As loud as possible.
Memory song or one that makes you sad anytime you hear it ?
John Denver's "This Ole Guitar". Most people never heard of it, but
it tells of the major positive effects it has had on his human
(emotional) growth. How it taught him so much about life and love.
Sometimes I substitute my bicycle for the guitar as having similar
affects on my life. Sound very trite, but it's not at all when you
hear the lyrics. Gives me goosebumps every time I hear it.

This song reminds me of having to leave my "x" and my little boy
behind. The words from beginning to end seem to say it all. Oh,
I'm over my "x" and have replaced her with a new wonderful love,
but the hurt of leaving my son is ever present.
SEPARATE WAYS - Sung by Elvis
I see a change
It's come into our lives
It's not the same, as it use to be
And it's not to late,
To realize our mistake
We're just not right, for each other
Love has slipped away
Left us only friends
We almost seem like strangers
All that's left between us
Is the memories we shared
The times we thought we cared, for each other
<<< VERSE >>>
There's nothing left to do
But go our separate ways
And pickup all the pieces left behind us
And maybe someday, somewhere along the way
Another love__ will find us
Someday when she's older
Maybe she will understand
Why her mom and dad, are not together
The tears that she will cry
When I have to say good-bye
Tearing my heart __ forever __
<<< VERSE >>>
There's nothing left to do
But go our separate ways
And pickup all the pieces left behind us
And maybe someday, somewhere along the way
Another love__ will find us

This also pulls on the heart strings as it reminds me of trying
to explain to my son, what was happening, although I couldn't stay
and watch him grow, as I had elected to do...
MY BOY - Sung by Elvis
You're sleeping son I know
But really this can't wait
I wanted to explain
Before it gets too late
For your mother and me
The love has finally died
This is no happy home
But God knows, how I've tried
<<< VERSE >>>
Because your all I have, My Boy
You are my life, my pride, my joy
And if I stay,
I stay because of you, My Boy
I know,
It's hard to understand
Why did we ever start
We're more like strangers now
Each acting out a part
I've laughed, I've cried
I've lost every game
Taking all I could take
But I'll stay here, just the same
<<< VERSE >>>
Because your all I have, My Boy
You are my life, my pride, my joy
And if I stay,
I stay because of you, My Boy
Sleep on,
You haven't heard a word
Perhaps, it's just as well
Why spoil your little dreams,
Why put you through the hell
Life is no fairytale
And one day you will know
but now you're just a child
I'll stay and watch you grow
<<< VERSE >>>
Because your all I have, My Boy
You are my life, my pride, my joy
And if I stay,
I stay because of you, My Boy

are some of the lyrics:
Cna I hold you? Girl you look shy, you are too beautiful for the

->Chorus is next
I never thought that I could find someone as much as I love you,
I know it's crazy but it's true.

Debbi, the title of that song is "I Never Thought That I Could
Love", and the artist is Dan Hill.
He's the guy that did "Sometimes When We Touch (the Honesty's

I believe he's from Canada.

| I know I'm laying myself wide open for bashing, but what the
hell....;^)
When I am in a rock-bottom mood, I play the live recording of Barry
Manilow's "Daybreak". I don't know what it is - the optimistic
lyrics, the spirited backup vocals, the audience spontaneously clapping
along - but this song has pulled me out of more bad moods than any
other....
For sad songs, there are some older country tunes that tear my heart
right out. Emmylou Harris' "Every Time You Leave" tells a story
with Emmylou's vocal and Dan Pederson's achingly beautiful harmony.
(For that matter, some of Dolly Parton's old country songs - "Down
From Dover" especially - are downright tragic.)
Whew - enough of the sad songs......:^(
Let's bring the mood back up with "Star Wars" or anything by the
Beatles or Creedence.....8^)

173.30 | | VALKYR::RUST | | Thu Oct 04 1990 16:26 | 26 |
| Hmmmm... My cheer-up songs include, in no particular order:
o "Bobby's Girl" - a really stupid song, but it always makes me smile
(or giggle, which is sometimes even better)
o "Last Kiss" - my favorite dead-teenager song
o "Bergamasca," from Resphigi's "Ancient Airs and Dances" (Boston-area
folks may recognize it as the theme that Morning Pro Musica uses/used
on Wednesdays). I *love* this; it can drag me up from incredible depths
of black depression (although the result doesn't necessarily last very
long).
o Almost anything from my Johnny Western "Have Gun, Will Travel" album
o selected Springsteen: Jungleland, Thunder Road, Badlands, Darkness on
the Edge of Town. These are great when I'm in a really angry mood, but
are dangerous to listen to while driving. ;-)
For the I-want-to-feel-melancholy moods, almost anything sad and Celtic
will work; also such solemn songs as "Northwest Passage" by Stan
Rogers, "Fast Car" by Tracey Chapman, "Love in a Hot Afternoon" by Gene
Watson, and lots of others that don't spring to mind just at the
moment.

/By choice what song/ record do you play when

/Your down and want to get up ?
Why would I ever want to do something silly like that?
When I am feeling down, I like to listen to such lovely groups
as The Cure, Joy Division, Echo and the Bunnymen, The Smiths....
you know....the kind of stuff that got everybody dressing in
black back in the early eighties....
Sometimes it cheers me up, sometimes it doesn't, but I always
enjoy listening to it.
/Your up and want to keep it going ?
High energy music. Ramones. Revolting Cocks. Jesus and Mary Chain.
Buzzcocks.
/Memory song or one that makes you sad anytime you hear it ?
"Lovesong" by the Cure will always reminds me of one person, the
"Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me" album by the Cure reminds me of a different
person. Both make me feel melancholy.
"Echo Beach" by Martha and the Muffins reminds me of summer, 198?
(2?, 3?), hanging out at beaches, getting a tan, relaxing in general.
A happy time. Frisbees flying in the air.
Anything from the Violent Femmes first album will make me feel happy,
make me want to dance or do something......anything.....just can't
sit still........

| I was having a bad headache tonight, and after reading this note, I
decided to try something... I put on the last movement of Mahler's
Resurrection and tune the volume up VERY high, and got on the rowing
machine. After 30mins of strenuous work with the music at full blast,
I stood in front of my stereo for the last 4 minutes of the movement.
I was soaked in sweat... One voice... became a thousand
voices, became my voice, became everyone's voice. My living
room extended beyond what the eyes could see. "Aufersth'n,
ja aufersteh'n wirst du, mein Herz, in einem Nu! ..." Rise, rise,
I saw the choir in white, the orchestra under me, the world
under God.
When the last note settled, I found myself soaked and couldn't tell
whether it was sweat or tears.

That's right!
I regularly travel on crowded Intercity trains where you *have* to
sit (or stand) close to someone. In the morning I sit down, and you
can see the pained look on the face of the person next to me as I
get my Walkman out....
As no-one has yet asked, I haven't yet told them that I'm only
listening to Radio 4 on the radio! (Radio 4 - very staid "official

the Stones and lump it! ;-)
