coldplay

[I Don't Need A Name]

[GooeyToast]

Something like Untitled 1 by Sigur Ros or Casimir Pulaski Day by Sufjan Stevens fit the bill well. Both are fantastic songs anyway.

If you're looking for songs to cheer you up, then anything by The Go! Team pretty much. Or Nice Weather for Ducks by Lemon Jelly

Can't believe I'm the first person to mention Radiohead. Here goes...

How to Disappear Completely - Radiohead
Street Spirit (Fade Out) - Radiohead
Exit Music (For a Film) - Radiohead
We Suck Young Blood - Radiohead
You and Whose Army - Radiohead
Talk Show Host - Radiohead
Fake Plastic Trees - Radiohead

So yeah, Radiohead.

Agreed. Especially the Sigur Ros suggestion, that song is beautiful.

Also, Horses In The Sky by A Silver Mount Zion. The whole album is about how smurfed up the world is, but that there is still hope for the future. Oh, and "13 Angels Standing Guard 'Round the Side of Your Bed" by the same band is one of the most moving pieces of music I've heard.

Fix You - Cold Play.

It was made for moping.

I have cried to that song so much.

[musicsoccer]

you want a song to make you feel better?

just listen to that if you can

[Rengori]

When I get sad I usually get angry too, so I usually just listen to death metal and Slayer.

[Ramza Beoulve]

Hurt - Jhonny Cash or Hurt - NIN

Whatever version fits you better, but I think Jhonny Cash's version is the perfect song for this situations... specially if you can see the video

[Nominus Experse]

Radiohead, Mono, A Silver Mount Zion, Wilco, Ryan Adams, and Smashing Pumpkins all occasionally dip into the genre/situation you speak of.

Jindou - Kaisei Joshou Hallelujah
FIELD OF VIEW - Kawaita Sakebi

[Jess]

Most music by Madness is quite happy and upbeat.

[arcanedude34]

THREE DAYS GRACE! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT

[ReloadPsi]

Avenged Sevenfold - And All Things Will End

[Lawr]

Living In the Sunlight, Loving In the Moonlight - Tiny Tim.

I was about to post the exact same song.

[Shiny]

Pick me up's are good, but not those happy go lucky ones, too happy if ya know what I mean. I'm basically looking for ones about depression or being sad but as some have already said, won't let it get to them, to rise above it so to speak.

Maybe Tomorrow by the Stereophonics would fit perfectly then.
