i feel like listening to some slightly morose music, yet not depressing

enough to make me want to curl up & disappear

what would you suggest?

if i have that cd in my collection, and i doubt i do, i will consider listening to it

if you suggest something i don't have, i will probably nod my head politely & hint that i will check it out later, though i probably won't as i am struggling with laziness issues at this particular moment :7

It'll make you happy again. :bounce:

It's supposed to be happy, but it's really sad. :( I also really like it even though objectively it's incredibly cheesy.

JUST ONCE IN MY LIFE (Beach Boys)

There's a lot of things I want
A lot of things that I'd like to be
But girl I don't foresee
A rags to riches story for me
I've given up on schemes
Cause everyone fell through
I've given up so many things
Don't ask me to give up on you

And baby baby
Just once in my life
Let me get what I want
Girl don't let me down
Just once in my life
Let me hold onto
A good thing I found
Don't let me down
Baby say that you'll be staying

I couldn't face the day
If you weren't here by my side
And if you went away
Then I'd be left without any pride
There's just one little dream
I've got to make come true
There's just one round I've got to win
I can't be a loser with you

And baby baby
Just once in my life
Let me get what I want
Girl don't let me down
Just once in my life
Let me hold onto
A good thing I found
Don't let me down
Baby say that you'll be staying

Every pot of gold
Ain't so easy to find
And if you'll stand by me
Girl I'll give you some of mine
I can't give you the world
But I'll work hard for you girl
Well I'll work hard
Every day
Baby don't leave me
Now say you won't leave me
Do this for me baby

Once in my life
Let me get what I want
Girl don't let me down
Just once in my life
Let me hold onto
A good thing I found
Don't let me down
Baby say that

Which I am listening to right now.

Nothing better.

Last Night - Lightning Hopkins
Everyday I have the Blues Buddy Guy and Junior Wellis
Bad Bad Whiskey Amos Milbourne, any BB King Hound Dog Taylor.

And if you want depressing check out ghost of tom joad albulm by springsteen.

Patti Rothberg. You can listen to some of her stuff on her website, so i dont wanna hear shit about your laziness

heres her website:

and a DIRECT link to her music you lazy bastard:

... I find, well almost uplifting. It's a paradox :)

For music that should get you down but is guaranteed to lift you up, I recommend Cocteau Twins, it is impossible to be down listening to an angel sing :)

I don't find them depressing in the least, though.:)

some of which i have, most of which i do not... though i will not separate the suggested artists/titles into columns & mark them for your viewing pleasure or anythin

no, i will once again put on my well used copy of lazer guided melodies by spiritualized & embark on the arduous yet inspiring task of becoming a cliche of myself

i treasure you all, each & every one :thumbsup:

or Clanad?

Or Paul Oscher?

Majestic, baroque, depressing, yet uplifting. Make-out music for goth rockers. Word to tha suburbs, yo.

:thumbsup:

:hi:

Kid A

Lost my old copy, and must find another.

Also nice for just chilling next to an open window when it's nice and balmy and breezy outside.

Not necessarily morose, just...transporting.........

Though for a novice Cohen listener, I might suggest "Ten New Songs."

French composer Cecile Chaminade wrote some very interesting piano pieces. Her wonderful piece "Autumn" has been adapted for a full symphony orchestra. It is my favorite piece of classical music of all time for its singular beauty and splendor. It has all the glory and sad melancholy of the autumn season. You can smell the wet earth, hear the rain, see flocks of migrating birds and the haystacks from the harvest just by closing your eyes and listening to that piece. It's breathtaking.

My favorite Blue Nile CD is "hats"

I can't seem to face up to the facts
I'm tense and nervous and I can't relax
I can't sleep cause my bed's on fire
Don't touch me I'm a real live wire

You start a conversation you can't seem to finish it
You're talkin' a lot but you're not sayin' anything
When I have nothing to say my lips are sealed
Say something once why say it again

Psycho killer, qu'est que c'est
Far better
Run away
Psycho killer, que'st que c'est
Far better
Run away
Oh yeah

Any and all.

because it's so joyous, yet the individual listening to it may not be able to reach that level of bliss

it's sad when someone can't be that happy :(

Your profundity makes me feel happy and sad at the same time.:-) :-(

Edit for punctuation 'cuz I'm anal retentive.

you all are my kind of people. Anything from Coyote Oldman. They play the native American flutes who’s soulful sound always takes my spirit on a journey to a peaceful place.

goes good with some good Demcratic Merlot and a bong full of bud.

Some Rosa Passos or Shakti might be your thing too.
Hesperion XX might float your boat.

sad, slightly depressing, and she gets through it.

Tori Amos - Boys for Pele. Otherwise known as "Why I Hate Men" - she still comes out on top.

Virtually any blues - Bessie Smith especially. That girl invented angst. Beautifully.

Khash.

very reverby, Velvets-ish with more than a smidge of angst.

Luna.

I'd recommend "Live at the Old Quarter." The earlier records are fine but overproduced. The glut of recent releases--by people who tried to help him, people who tried to rip him off & his last ex-wife--can be a bit dicey.
