well, i saw the post about the power of music etc by someone else (sorry, can't remember who right now!) and it got me thinking..
so i decided, out of curiosity to make this post,
when your feeling low, do you have certain music that you will stick on??
For me, if im feeling incredibly low, i listen to a band, Seether.
But to cheer myself up, i have a playlist on my phone of songs which.. more inspire me to keep on fighting.
Perfect - P!nk
Behind these hazel eyes - kelly clarkson
breakaway - kelly clarkson
the cave - mumford & sons
we cry - the script
keep holding on - avril lavigne
the magicians assistant - dan le sac vs. scroobius pip.
the last one i find incredibly inspiring, although a bit.."in your face"
i will post a link, but be warned, it could be very triggering. x

when I feel low I tend to stick to ska, never really fails to put a smile on my face
I think specifically it would be:
Less Than Jake-Soundtrack of my life
Sonic Boom Six-Monkey See Monkey Do
Reel Big Fish-Take On Me
Lightyear-Uri Geller Bent My Heart
Mighty Mighty Bossstones-Another Drinking Song
But Ska in general when I'm feeling low
just remembered another i like, when im in any mood really
war of the worlds - get cape, wear cape, fly
If I want to cheer up, then The King Blues, Pink, pretty much anything from Tony Hawks Underground 2 soundtrack (so, stuff like Less than jake, Rancid, The suicide machines) and Lady gaga :d
beautiful - christina aguilera.
:yes:
When I'm down I like either ska (if I want to cheer up) or stuff like Three Days Grace, MCR- I'm Not Okay, Linkin Park, Art of Dying if I'm not feeling like I want to be happy. Basically that kind of genera.
I thought you were talking about real Ska or at least Two Tone.
That's not Ska, this is Ska

Ska evolved from reggae. Most people would consider it ska. Then you have 2 Tone Ska like the Specials and Bad Manners - which is also pretty good. Ska Punk not so much though - lost a bit of the soul of the original Ska.
Can't beat the only and only anthem Force & Styles - Heat Of Gold
