As the headache fades

I saw this on another blog and thought it was an amazing idea so yeah: Ten songs that make me happy in no particular order. Garbage - Only Happy When It Rains The song that got me into Garbage. Every time I hear it I just think of all the amazing moments I've had listening to their albums and the discussions I've had (mainly with Sof) about how they're the best band ever and how FUCKING INCREDIBLE Shirley Manson is. Not to mention the fact that whenever it rains I seem to automatically just sing the chorus without realising it now. No Doubt - New One of their most well written songs. The build up is nuts and the key changes are just complete and utter win. It's like "I'm going to spazz rock like I've been popping E" because this song is as trippy as Meshuggah. Also it's a happy song about being completely in love and enjoying every second of it. Good times. Tegan and Sara - The Con It is a new law of physics that I have to bust a massive grin every time this song starts. I did it the first time I heard it and I've been doing it ever since. It's impossible for me to disobey. I'm just reminded of about this time last year actually. When the album The Con came out and I wouldn't listen to ANYTHING else for weeks. I only just recently started listening to a lot of my old stuff again really. Like Lily, Mastodon, No Doubt .etc Little Birdy - Relapse Happy and sad at the same time. This was one of the first songs that really spoke to me on something other than an aesthetic level. I coulen't even articulate to Katy how much this song means to me so it's impossible to even try on the blog. Placebo - Because I want You There's nothing more awesome than driving along with this on as loud as physically possible singing along as loud (and badly) as possible. Especially right at the end where they repeat the chorus: 'BECAUSE I WANT YOU TOO BECAUSE I WANT YOU TOOOOOO BECAUSE I WANT YOU BECAUSE I WANT YOU BECAUSE I WANT YOU TOOOOOOOOOO BECAUSE I WANT YOU TOOOO BECAUSE I WANT YOU' .etc They are so brilliant at having mind blowingly perfect songs. Also Brian is the complete and utter sex (except Shirley). Evidence: Megadeth - Holy Wars Pure. Fucking. Win. Hilariously cheesey/awesome lyrics (Like Judge Dredd territory). Actually this song is like experiencing an 80s action move but compressed into a handful of minutes. With the added bonus of killer killer killer guitar everything. I think that not feeling happy when this song is playing makes you the antichrist. Mastodon - Seabeast Fucking. The intro. Is like the best thing to ever happen to music. Then add to the fact that it is themed around Moby Dick. A bunch of tatooed/multiple pierced guys ripping the shit out of instruments and singing about classic literature WHICH IS ABOUT WHALING...! TEN BILLION POINTS? Breaking Benjamin - Polyamarous Hahahahahahaha manslut it up. A guy singing about how his penis always gets him into trouble. Also SLAP BASS IN HEAVY ROCK!?!!!!!!? SLAP. ACTUAL. BASS. Lily Allen - Friday Night Lily was probably the hardest to pick from because a lot of her songs have a fucking hilarious sense of humour anyway. This one wins for two reasons. The lines: "In the queue make our way to the front Girl on the guest list dressed like a cunt" and another part that says "Good dancing love, but you should have worn a bra." This part makes me happy because when I saw her last year she wasn't wearing a bra either and looked really guilty about singing it. Also she dressed up as a dinosaur too. Nine Inch Nails - The Perfect Drug The title actually explains everything. Violins being shredded = awesome
