For me it depends. But here are some- RHCP-My Friends,Soul to squeeze- Rolling Stones-Paint it black-As the tears go buy-Mothers little helper, Floyd-Why wont you talk to me, comfortably numb, Speak to me, breathe, on the run, Another Brick in the wall parts 1-3, Crazy, Wish you were here,etc-Alice in chains, man in the box,almost any of their songs-Soungarden, Black hole sun-Audio Slave, Show me how to live- I think thats enough I have many more, some make me feel better, others just go along with my mood.

When anxious, I like to listen to either of these to get the healthy kind of adrenaline flowing:

When I was depressed, which I fortunatly haven't been in a long time, I liked to listen (and sing along) to these a lot:

I like this one.
Don't understand a word of it, but it makes me feel like i'm floating deep in the ocean, slowly, weightless... It's like a sedative to me.

But yeah, for all i know it could be about how to sensually grow lettuce in iceland.

Yeah, they are. Works best late at night. I've been trying to find similar bands but nobody matches the ethereal feel they have.

Angel's Egg - Accumulation of Time

What this song means to me...

Uncertainty & fear of the future & past trauma/regrets. It's a beautiful song in its own right to me.

Good stuff man. Good lookin' out postin' the don't approach me video. been awhile since i've seen that. it always helps to give me a little boost when i need it. I've kind of got myself off track and am trying my best to get outta the gutter. It's tough.

I wanna thank everybody for posting in this thread and sharing your music! Not everybody has that same love for music that we all seem to share. Here's one that I haven't heard in awhile and will listen to as I'm posting it:
