Music For Your Mood

[Panic57]

What do you listen to when you've had a bad day? Or what's on your playlist right now? I've been getting back into k-pop at the moment. I've been listening to Monsta X's Stuck, All In, and Hero and Red's cover of Ariana Gradne's Into You.

I love listening to music that I can get lost in. You know, something where the lyrics have some depth to them but the song is also something I can sing along to. My favourite band is The National and I think they're a pretty good example of this. Really weird, complex lyrics, but at the same time they have a lot of catchier stuff. I'd recommend their latest two albums (High Violet and Trouble Will Find Me) for anyone who hasn't heard of them before!

My music taste doesn't really have one genre but I really like pop and rap. I really like to listen to these types of music (as well as any other genre really) because they reflect my mood. Rap reflects my anger or my venomous personality while pop usually reflects my desire for love. Music in general usually calms me down if I'm angry or brings me up when I'm depressed but these two genres do a really good job of bringing me back to reality.

I feel the same thing about Ariana Grande, lol. When I'm feeling just down of energy I put Into You or Bang Bang, they are really good options for me. I also like hearing grimes, even if her lyrics are kind of weird, the beats of her music are always amazing and mood lifting when it comes to me.

I don't like a lot of noise. My favorite sound is silence. I get nervous when someone turns on the music or tv. My loved ones accommodate me pretty well on this point, although sometimes they want some noise and I do the best I can to cooperate. Usually I leave the room. Sometimes I leave the whole house. Canned noise unnerves me.

I have also noticed that music affects my mood. If I am listening to sad or depressing songs, I will start to feel down. If I am listening to happy, upbeat songs, I also feel upbeat and happy. Its insane how that works, but it does.

I ALWAYS listen to Twenty One Pilots. Currently I'm listening to the Regional at Best album, but every album is amazing. The lyrics are always something that I can directly relate to, and it helps me to just sit down and listen to them.

There's so much music out there these days that one could actually make a career out of just sitting and listening to music. I said all that to say that I love k-pop, but I haven't listened to it in months because it had totally slipped my mind until you mentioned it here. Thanks for reminding me! I also listen to a lot of old r and b, and I like some classical music as well if I've had a bad day. Certain types of classical music tends to be soothing to me.


I also agree with someone who said they like silence. I like silence as well, in fact, I think that I need a certain amount of it during the day in order to fully appreciate other things. Silence is kind of like a mental cleansing of the palate, if you will.

Sometimes when I'm upset I actually listen to sadder music, as I mentioned in a different topic. I find it very empowering! However, when I need to listen to something that is more upbeat, I find myself listening to some songs by Modest Mouse. I absolutely love the range of songs that Modest Mouse has! They have a song for every occasion. Their more energetic songs include "Float On" "Lampshades On Fire" "Dashboard" and "The Ground Walks With Time in a Box," although my jam by them right now is definitely "The View." I'd suggest that you guys try them! I feel like they're not as recognized as they should be. The only thing about them is that you have to deal with their very sarcastic lyrics in some of their songs, but if you're anything like me, you'd enjoy it!

I would have to say that I agree with everyone on this matter. When I am in a sad/upset mood, I like to listen to some mellow tunes, to cheer me up a little bit. Or, if I'm in an upbeat mood, I listen to more happy music, but it all depends on my mood, but most of the time I just listen to whatever pops into my head at that particular moment. For the past couple of months, I have really been getting into rap and R & B music, along with some country and metal.

On my bad days I put on some screamo or pop punk. For example bands like Bring Me The Horizon, You Me At Six, All Time Low, Paramore. When there's no one around I tend to sing along on the top of my lungs.

Oh, I like Bring Me The Horizon, All Time Low, and Paramore. I haven't heard of You Me At Six. What is your favorite songs from them? Do you like Falling In Reverse, Asking Alexandria, and Pierce the Veil?

I listen to all different types of music. What I listen to is completely determined by my mood on that particular day. I usually listen to Alanis Morrisette, Green Day, or sometimes Jewel when I am really angry. But, when I am sad, I usually sing country. When I feel lost, I will go back to my roots. My father used to blare music after we went to bed at night and I would fall to sleep listening to the Beatles, Harry Chapin, James Taylor, The Carpenters, etc. This music is calming to me and it helps me relax and reflect. When I was younger, we had a tree swing. I used to do my chores (we lived on a farm) at night and then sit with my walkman on the tree swing and sing at the top of my lungs. It was my escape from the world. I was alone with nature and I loved it. I have always felt a strong connection to music and it has pulled me out of some pretty dark moods. I would be lost without it.

I am always in the mood for classic rock. I use it to energize my mood. Something with a beat will really give me the impetus to do work around the house or to give my mood a lift. I like classic tunes that have a real beat to them and something that can give me a lift if I am down. Music soothes the savage breast so they say. I think it can do a number of htings to affect your mood.

Panic57 from BMTH, my current favourite is Throne, but all time favorite will always be Can You Feel My Heart, which originally drew me to the band.


ATL - Coffeeshop Soundtrack; Dear Maria, Count Me In; I Feel Like Dancing; Stay Awake (Dreams Only Last For A Night). I can't really pick a favorite.


Paramore - Decoy; Brighter; Stay Away; Let The Flames Begin. I could go on and on again.


I haven't really listened to Falling In Reverse, Asking Alexandria or Pierce the Veil.


From YMAS, I recommend you to start with the Sinners Never Sleep album.


Oooooh and have you listened to The Pretty Reckless? Make Me Wanna Die; Light Me Up; Going To Hell and Heart are probably my favorites from them.

I can certainly agree with you there. I used to always have the local classic rock station on whenever it was time to do things around the house, and it is still the only music station that I listen to on the radio. I can really listen to it at any time and any place and in any mood, which I am not sure I can say about all the other genres of music, so it certainly has something a little special about it. Might go listen to some right now. Good stuff, and thanks for sharing.

I've only heard one song by The Pretty Reckless, though that reminds me that I've been meaning to look into it. I remember liking her voice but I can't think what song I was listening to. The only Light Me Up, I've heard is from Birdy. I'll look up the others.


I think my favorite song from ATL was the one they did with Pierce The Veil 'Love Like War'. 'CrushCrushCrush', 'Brick By Boring Brick' and 'Fences' are probably on my replay list but I like most of it. 'Can You Feel My Heart' was also the song that got me into Bring Me The Horizon. Have you listened to PVRIS, pronounced Paris? I'm really into their song 'My House', 'St. Patrick', and 'You and I'.

When I am depressed I listen to depressing music but the cool thing is since I use Pandora they recommend other music and soon something a bit more upbeat comes along and I am changing stations. This often leads to a better mood.
