"Sadness is Madness"

I once burnt a cd for myself entitled: Depression Session which is a pretty fair indicator of the kind of cd's I make for myself. I like soft songs and sad songs. Ben Harper's Live from Mars double cd was basically perfect for me, especially the second cd. *drool* I also like some heavy stuff but that isn't really that upbeat either, Metallica, Dimmu Borgir. They're not singing about picking posies... at least I don't think they are. But if they were it wouldn't matter. The music just isn't that uplifting. I even tried writing lyrics for music and it all goes through a blue filter. I only wrote one happy song and it was all about drugs.

But every now and then I hear a song that just blows me away, like the song I wrote about earlier. Some others are Hey Ya - Outkast, the Best of You - Foo Fighters, Dakota - Stereophonics, Breathe Me (remix) - the originals by Sia Furler. I hear them and they get stuck in my head for days. At one point, after I'd bought a JJJ double cd just to get the Breathe Me remix, I was dancing all day, during lectures at uni, while I was walking home, even at night when I was trying to get to sleep.

So I'm trying to make a cd of songs like that, unfortunately there just aren't that many of them. I don't know if they'll really work together as a cd either. I keep wanting to put songs I love on their and then having to cut them because they're not upbeat enough. But I have a feeling I'm going to have to make a cd with like five songs on it or fill the rest of the cd up with lesser songs. Oh well, that's life I guess.

I'll let you know how it turns out.
