always something upbeat to get you off that mood and think about the people that love you the most....it'll bring a smile to your face and get you off the depressive state.

"Everybody Hurts" by REM. What's up, Alanpro? I've got my email up on my profile if you don't want to say on here.

I would stay away from Pink Floyd's The Wall album! I always did the Tori Amos rout but I can't promise it will be uplifting. Brett Dennen is my current fav. Good luck, feel good.

G'day Alanpro777, Thank you for your question. If I'm feeling a bit down, I like listening to good upbeat music that lifts your spirit. You have to be careful that the music doesn't make you feel worse. Regards

"I Will Survive" -- the version by Cake.

Something upbeat and that you like that makes you feel good normally. The worst thing to do is listen to depressing old Joni Mitchell "Clouds" album or anything else that is anything depressing or dark. Unless you feel you want or need to wallow and make things worse, in which case, there is plenty of depressing and dark music out there. I just wouldn't suggest it.

September by Earth Wind and Fire always seems to cheer me up when I'm down.

God Will Make a Way by Don Moen

'Top Of The World' - Carpenters. It puts ME in a good mood, anyway!

Ordinary Miracle by Sarah McLachlan. Listen to it and find the ordinary miracles are there everyday. (I would upload a copy from YouTube but I never tried it and I don't know how) Maybe someone would be so kind to upload it for you. Peace.

I have a few that I like to listen to. This one I just posted on another question. lol Mark Schultz He Will Carry Me I call, You hear me I’ve lost it all And it’s more than I can bear I feel so empty You’re strong I’m weary I’m holdin’ on But I feel like givin’ in But still You’re with me chorus: And even though I’m walkin’ through The valley of the shadow I will hold tight to the hand of Him Whose love will comfort me And when all hope is gone And I’ve been wounded in the battle He is all the strength that I will Ever need And He will carry me I know I’m broken But You alone Can mend this heart of mine You’re always with me chorus And even though I feel so lonely Like I’ve never been before You never said it would be easy But You said you’d see me through The storm chorus This one is from Third Day. "Tunnel" I won't pretend to know what you're thinking I can't begin to know what you're going through I won't deny the pain that you're feeling But I'm gonna try and give a little hope to you Just remember what I've told you There's so much you're living for There's a light at the end of this tunnel There's a light at the end of this tunnel For you, for you There's a light at the end of this tunnel Shinin' bright at the end of this tunnel For you, for you So keep holdin' on You've got your disappointments and sorrows You ought to share the weight of that load with me Then you will find that the light of tomorrow Brings a new life for your eyes to see So remember what I've told you There's so much you're living for Or these by Superchick Stand In The Rain Lyrics She never slows down. She doesn't know why but she knows that when she's all alone, feels like its all coming down She won't turn around The shadows are long and she fears if she cries that first tear, the tears will not stop raining down [CHORUS] So stand in the rain Stand your ground Stand up when it's all crashing down You stand through the pain You won't drown And one day, whats lost can be found You stand in the rain She won't make a sound Alone in this fight with herself and the fears whispering if she stands she'll fall down She wants to be found The only way out is through everything she's running from wants to give up and lie down. [CHORUS] So stand in the rain Stand your ground [ Lyrics found on http://www.metrolyrics.com ] Stand up when it's all crashing down You stand through the pain You won't drown And one day, whats lost can be found You stand in the rain So stand in the rain Stand your ground Stand up when it's all crashing down Stand through the pain You won't drown And one day, whats lost can be found [CHORUS] So stand in the rain Stand your ground Stand up when it's all crashing down You stand through the pain You won't drown And one day, whats lost can be found You stand in the rain Beauty from Pain The lights go out all around me One last candle to keep out the night And then the darkness surrounds me I know I'm alive But I feel like I've died And all that's left is to accept that it's over My dreams ran like sand through the fists that I made I try to keep warm but I just grow colder I feel like I'm slipping away After all this has passed I still will remain After I've cried my last There'll be beauty from pain Though it won't be today Someday I'll hope again And there'll be beauty from pain You will bring beauty from my pain My whole world is the pain inside me The best I can do is just get through the day When life before is only a memory I wonder why God let me walk through this place And though I can't understand why this happened I know that I will when I look back someday And see how You've brought beauty from ashes And made me as gold purified through these flames Here and I am at the end of me (at the end of me) Trying to hold to what I can't see I forgot how to hope This night's been so long I cling to your promise there will be a dawn And one more it's from Amy Grant Held Two months is too little They let him go They had no sudden healing To think that providence Would take a child from his mother While she prays, is appalling Who told us we’d be rescued What has changed and Why should we be saved from nightmares Were asking why this happens to us Who have died to live, it’s unfair This is what it means to be held How it feels, when the sacred is torn from your life And you survive This is what it is to be loved and to know That the promise was that when everything fell We’d be held This hand is bitterness We want to taste it and Let the hatred numb our sorrows The wise hand opens slowly To lilies of the valley and tomorrow This is what it means to be held How it feels, when the sacred is torn from your life And you survive This is what it is to be loved and to know That the promise was that when everything fell <a href="http://www.lyricsmania.com">Lyrics</a> We’d be held If hope if born of suffering If this is only the beginning Can we not wait, for one hour Watching for our savior This is what it means to be held How it feels, when the sacred is torn from your life And you survive This is what it is to be loved and to know That the promise was that when everything fell We’d be held Repeat Chorus

Boston by Augustana makes me feel like I will be able to just get away from all this and start new, and I like that. One of my favorite songs. And Weezer is pretty good for depression. They either relate, or get you feeling better. I would say...Island In The Sun, Holiday, El Scorcho, Dope Nose or Keep Fishin for a happier feeling, and entire Pinkerton album (specifically Across The Sea, Butterfly, and Pink Triangle) and Death & Destruction if you just want to feel okay with being down.

WILDEST DREAMS BY THE MOODY BLUES

OH, THAT MOODY BLUES WILL MAKE YOU STAY SAD. IF YOU WANT TO BE HAPPY LISTEN TO SLEEPY JEAN BY THE MONKEES

Don't Stop Me Now- Queen

OHHH man. Anything by the Polyphonic Spree! Slow, happy, angelic. Flogging Molly has some fast, upbeat pirate/Irish music.

man... one of my favorite depression albums is: Between The Lines by Janis Ian... http://store.janisianstore.com/betweenlines.html it's an amazing album, but not what you'd call a "Pick-me Up..." But I like a dramatic wallow in my depression - when it finally dawns on my I'm being ridiculous, I find I'm out of the depression...

Oh Brother, Can You Spare a Dime? American Songs from the Depression Era http://www.amatecon.com/gd/gdmusic.html

If it's the result of a breakup, may I suggest Lush's Ciao. Fantastically upbeat. If it's just one of those days and you feel like wallowing, I recommend Placebo's album Sleeping with Ghosts.

I don't know the name of the song, but the "Snoopy Song"!!!!!

If you need something to lift your spirits, check this out by my fave band Blue October; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_u4nInWuN1c

YMCA

&quot;Small Enough" by Nichole Nordemann. Sometimes I sing it when I'm alone. It's not an exciting song, and for the longest time I didn't like it because I'd never taken the time to listen to the words, but they are so wonderful. Oh great God Be small enough To hear me now There were times when I was crying From the dark of Daniel's den And I have asked You once or twice If You would part the sea again Tonight I do not need a Fiery pillar in the sky Just want to know You're gonna Hold me if I start to cry Oh great God Be small enough to hear me now Oh great God Be close enough to feel You now (Oh great god be close to me) There have been moments when I could not face Goliath on my own And how could I forget we've marched Around our share of Jerichos But I will not be setting out A fleece for You tonight Just wanna know if everything will be alright Oh Great God Be close enough to feel You now All praise and all the honor be To the God of ancient mysteries Whose every sign and wonder Turn the pages of our history But tonight my heart is heavy And I cannot keep from whispering this prayer: Are You there? And I know You could leave writing On the wall that's just for me Or send wisdom while I'm sleeping Like in Solomon's sweet dreams I don't need the strength of Sampson Or a chariot in the end Just wanna know You still know how many Hairs are on my head Oh great God (Are You small enough) Be small enough to hear Me now Also, ignore the video, I just posted it for the song.

Try the song from "The Perfect Man". Forget the words...just the rithm would do... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=stkLnpzsO3w OH! I Forgot! Even better! Van Halen-Jump! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8e-vgQSqNtA

All you need is Love by the Beatles

Sometimes it is actually good to listen to someone who is as down as you are. Upbeat songs when you are hurting are just not on. Janis Ian was mentioned above, particulary At 17 and In the Winter Simon and Garfunkel's I am a Rock Eleanor Rigby by the Beatles Tonight by Elton John or even better the George Michael version It's so hard to say goodbye to yesterday (my b-in law's band sang it at my dad's funeral) Wish You were here- Pink Floyd Here Without You- 3 Doors Down Creep- Radiohead (the cry at the end is just enough to get into your soul) Needle and THe Damage Done-Neil Young Nothing Compares To You-Sinead O'Connor When Doves Cry- Prince Space Oddity- David Bowie Anyone Who Had a Heart-dionne Warwick Going Back- Dusty Springfield Crying- Roy Orbison Leah-Roy Orbison Graceland-Paul Simon God Bless the Child- Billie Holiday (actually about independence, both physical and monetary) Cry Me A River-Julie London Ohio-Crosby Stills Nash I Ain't Marchin' Anymore- Phil Ochs Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest WOrd- Elton John Forever Autumn- Justin Hayward Water Paper and Clay- Mary Hopkin For goodness' sake, don't listen to REM. That stuff really is depressing.

&quot;Love and Pride" By Paul King

Bryan Duncan, "Love You With My Life."

I'm a big fan of Matthew West's "The End." It always lifts me up and puts things in perspective. You can listen to it on his website at www.matthewwest.com. For songs that just make me smile, go to www.jonathancoulton.com and listen to "Code Monkey." Or just about anything else on that site.

Get Me Bodied by Beyonce She Get It From Her Mama by Juvinile Tricky by Run DMC She Dropped The Bomb On Me by Cool and the Gang Like This by Mims Breath in by Ali anything Missy Elliot sings

Jeff Buckley - Hallelulah

Any song by Weird Al will get you on the right track. I also like to listen to oldies when I am having a bout.

Don't Let Me Down-The Beatles

Right now, Blood on the Motorway by DJ Shadow. Beautiful song.

Definitely "Don't Stop" by Fleetwood Mac.

linkin park_my december....back in the 8th grade

Changes by Black Sabbath

When I am depressed I will listen to music as down as I feel and then increase the "UP" value, pulling myself up with it. If this kind of thing works for you, a good one to begin with is 'Don't Give Up' by Peter Gabriel and Kate Bush.

Believe it or not, I was going through a ruff time, and I found classical music to be uplifting. Instrumental, and foreign singers...maybe it was because I couldn't understand what they were saying?! The music always sounds bleak & tortured, then overcoming the darkness... which I did!

&quot;Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life" :) Eric Idle, Life of Brian, Monty Python. Just look it up on Youtube, or something.

&#039;Cheer up ya miserable fekker' by Abba.

Sly & the Family Stand - STAND -

I think there is something about songs based on minor chords that seems to find congruence with the feelings of depression. Perhaps it is just my opinion. I find the music by Mozart with minor keys to be helpful.

Bob Marley's "Three Little Birds"

something that makes you feel that you are not the only person in the world that feels down - empathy though music can make you feel connected with the world again. I love Jose Gonzales, Kate Bush, Radiohead, Bjork for days when i am feeling a bit blue...

&quot;Brother, Can You Spare A Dime?" is a pretty good song when going through an economic depression.

I don't know if your religious at all, this is kind of a religious song, but I've always loved it. It reminds me that no matter what "storms" life throws my way that I have a solid anchor, I may be a little battered...but I'm gonna be ok!

Music in general is good for the soul and helps when i'm depressed.

The Hamster Dance Song!

That depends on whether you want a song that'll a)bring you out of depression or b)make you cry. a http://youtube.com/watch?v=HzmsCt3zP8A b http://youtube.com/watch?v=xRc2QEnoWyQ

This song by Lyrnd Skynrd(author) and also done by Shinedown both cuts are great. Listen to the song and the lyrics especially, words to live by. Athrough Lyrnd is the best of the best....enjoy and listen: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YKadLUXcLJc&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2fmSF4chL2I&feature=related

&#039;I-Empire' album by Angels and Airwaves

Almost any Linkin Park, Chevelle, She wants revenge, songs do well for me. Though (randomly) another great artists is Michael Buble. Hes amazing. Times ten. Lol. ~+~

REM'S everybody hurts

Bobby McFerrin - "Don't Worry, Be Happy" Listen now! Ltrics will even make you smile if you listen closely! Promise!

take your pick.

Wonderful World by Louis Armstrong, always makes me feel better, no matter the situation.

anything by guns n' roses makes me feel better i feel much better the hear someone else scream and rant and rave. it's better to hear someone more pissed than i am

any classical music is usually good. i found fanfare for the common man to be really uplifting, but that's just me.

High Hopes Put on a Happy Face Make Someone Happy

KISS- REASON TO LIVE Twista Feat Faith Evans - HOPE

one-x three days grace

one-x three days grace

&quot;Better Get to Livin'" by Dolly Parton.

The Sun Will Come Out tomorrow - Annie no I'm just kidding. I usually listen to Plumb or Incubus. I love Incubus when I'm sad, their songs have a silver lining no matter how sad the topic.

It depends totally on the nature of the depression. Everytime I have something I'm going through, I have a new song. I tend to gravitate towards Three Days Grace or Linkin Park songs though.

what help me when i first started getting depressed i was listening to all of PINK FLOYDS music.

PINK FLOYD music help me out a lot when i first got drepressed as a teen

&quot;In the Arms Of An Angel, Sarah McLaughlin

Something upbeat. How about Love Shack?

Beautiful Day by U2 Shine by Take That

Sly & the Family Stone - Stand -

I went through a horrible depression when I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis and I always listened to I Can See Clearly Now by Johnny Nash. It helped me get my spirits up many times when I felt like dying. I wish you the best of luck!!

I'm the Happiest Girl in the Whole USA

Weak and Powerless by A Perfect Circle

Amazing Grace

I'm Walking on Sunshine. IF that can't bring you out of it, nothing can.

any music by the beatles. if you want to get out of a depression. some christian gospel music if you want to stay depressed.

Sad songs work great if you're in to torturing yourself to death. Once you run out of tears to cry you'll find that life is much better when you're not wasting it being depressed. The biggest thing is figuring out why you're depressed and if it's worth being depressed about. My guess is it's not. You deserve to be happy. Surround yourself with friends and family and concentrate on the future and the things you want in life. Then you wont have time to be depressed.

Basia's "New day for You" The little voice inside your head is singing it to you. No, really!

lonely day by soad its my life by bon jovi angie from stones and something rock but not pink floyd or rainbow something with a simple meaning pink floyd's greatest songs are written for syd and they will be so difficult for you espesialy in this time (depression i mean) and dio's medieval meaning in rainbow will not help and at last when you can get many meanings like soad stones stirway from led zep ,deep purple,continue to rainbow many songs and last the temple of the king when you finish rainbow you will be happy again and much wiser but remember do not go to "hey you" or any of pink floyd songs! when you are powerful in your soul you will be able to understand it i gave you the steps because some months ago i was in this condition too ah and dont forget! on-line activism in greenpeace or whatever will help too!

Fix you by Cold Play

peter gabriel & kate bush. dont give up.

Wave of Mutilation by the Pixies. "Cease to resist giving my good byes. Drive my car into the ocean. You think I'm dead, but I sail away On a wave of mutilation."

Helter Skelter by The Beatles

Hey Jude By the Beatles. A very uplifting and wonderful song by the fab four.

Jimmy Hendrix - Little Wing! ...awesome...

Amazing Grace or You Raise Me Up

Kanye west-hey mama remix if you lose someone you love (more family orientated), pussy money weed lil wayne if youve lost a gf you love, just to zone out "right where it belongs" by NIN, if your in a mad depression mood: fight music by d12, i miss you by incubus if your missing someone you love, let the drummer kick by citizen hope if you want to zone out.. if you want to fight your depression, the lyrics in "till i collapse" by eminem.. just depressed: halleluja by jeff buckley.. youth group "forever young".. mazzy star "into dust", joseph arthur "honey and the moon", ugh the list goes on. need more?

Well.. My Chemical Romance always helped me. But, really, all you have to do is find music you can relate to, know you're not the only one, and it really helps a lot.

You are not alone- Michael Jackson NEVER FAILS!

Kickstart My Heart by Motley Crue

Promise of A Lifetime by Kutless

Flyleafs "I'm so sick" or Son of Dork's "Sick" or just about anything really loud you can cut up till you can't hear yourself screaming with it. Then scream and cry till you feel better:)
