This was hard.

As you can tell I'm much better at depressing songs than the 'happy ones'. Also, like I always say about my academics - it's context specific.... A different day and mood would generate a totally different list I'm sure. For instance, today I privileged songs I'm listening to lately. What about classics like My Happiness By Powderfinger, or oh I dunno Sick of Myself - Matthew Sweet etc. etc. Ah well, my soundtrack of my life - today:
