Theme music for different moods.

[Wolfnox]

So i thought it would be fun to think up theme music for each mood. Some could help lighten the mood. Or make you feel empowered. For me Star Wars the empire strikes back vaders theme does both.

Oh, i just seized a perfect opportunity! I ALWAYS listen to music depending on my mood!

Happy - Pop, Hip Hop, Rap, New Age, Travel
Sad - Really anything with a steady tone, and a "feeling" key (like Oasis' Wonderwall)
Scared - Something frantic without vocals, maybe with a tribal theme (like something from The Lion King like "Hoo Hah" or the scene from Tarzan where he's fighting Sabor)
Angry, Fighting Mood - Saliva "CLICK CLICK BOOM" or Limp Bizkit "Rollin'" at max volume
Angry, Raging - KoRn "Dead Bodies Everywhere!"
LEAVE ME ALONE!! - Five Finger Death Punch "Dying Breed"
KillSwitch_Protocol.exe (run somewhere and hide!) - Within Temptation "The Middle Of the Night"

Sleepy - Something from a video game OST slow and relaxing, preferably with a mystical tone, especially if the game has a fantasy setting

High Level 1 (Kush or bud) - Toto "Africa" played backwards
High Level 2 (Fire) - Men At Work "Land Down Under"
High Level 3 (Bruce Banner or Ghost OG) - Phil Collins "In the Air Tonight" at max volume
Buddha Mode (Gas or stronger) Several songs randomly chosen from the '50s, '60s, '70s and 80s played simultaneously while typing a heartfelt letter to Vladmir Putin then trying to print it out of the microwave

Eye Of The Tiger (Intense determination or other "not without a fight" type of mood) - Survivor "Eye of The Tiger" or any song that uses musical dissonance and is moderately upbeat

LOLWUT - Final Fantasy III "Chocobo Theme"

I Have Autism - Tomodachi Life title screen, Animal Crossing City Folk "Nook's Cranny", or anything that sounds like it was composed using a dolphin's windpipe

Sleepy - ambient new age sounds.

Romantic - Animal/Def Leppard, Rebel Yell and White Wedding/Billy Idol

Depressed - Drifter/Whitesnake, Knocking on Heaven's Door/Guns and Roses, Dream On/Aerosmith

Angry - Another One Bites the Dust, Bohemian Rhapsody/ Queen

Happy Dance - Sailing Away/Styx, Running Down a Dream/Tom Petty, Once in a Lifetime/Talking Heads

 

[Progster]

I use music to regulate stimulation rather than mood. The music generates the mood

Needing background music to help me stay focused but which won't distract me from the task: some light jazz or piano music, instrumental symphonic prog. The album I'm listening to now, for example - Grimalkin - The Drifting Sailor (mostly instrumental).

Feeling energetic - progressive metal, Blind Guardian or Dream Theater for example.

Need to get going in the morning - playlist with my favourite tracks - rock/progressive rock/folk rock.

Feeling bored and want to really listen to music rather than just background music - some thing with interesting and intelligent or thought-provoking lyrics, such as New Model Army, Skyclad, The Tangent, pink Floyd, Major Parkinson, Nikolas Asimos, Accent (Romanian band with kind of surreal lyrics based on poetry), Beggar's Opera.
