Happiest Song/Saddest Song? - Calgarypuck Forums - The Unofficial Calgary Flames Fan Community

Trying another new idea (the 5 people you want to meet idea worked pretty well as did a few other ones I started).....anyways,

What song pumps you up the most or makes you the happiest and in retrospect what song makes you sad or brings you down the most?

For me the song that pumps me up the most is Boys of Summer by The Ataris.

The song that makes me the saddest is Calling All Angels by Train (beautiful song but that's the song they played at my gf Chantelle's funeral as well as my friends Jen and Angie and it gets me every time).

Pumped: House of Pain - Jump Around

Sad: I agree with your choice. Calling all angels - Train

I Will Remember You by Sarah McLaughlin is one song I can't listen to anymore. It was played at my Uncles funeral who was killed in a car accident 8 years ago or so.

This dates me

but the saddest song for me Terry Jacks, Seasons in the Sun. I cannot listen to that song.

She Talks to Angels by the Black Crowes is one that makes me sad. It played right after I took my dog to the vets to be put down. Times Like These by the Foo Fighters makes me both happy and sad. Happy for memories of the Cup run and sad for a very good friend's funeral.

I remember driving back from my Moms funeral and "Higher" by Damn Yankees was on the radio.

Everytime I hear that song now I instantly flash back to that cold snowy day in NL in 1990.

For some reason "Vent" by Collective Soul makes me turn the knob to 11.

Ghostbusters is my rage pump me up song. Makes me want to fight ghosts!

Amazing grace has got to be the saddest song for me. I have begun associating that song with funerals.

Bubble Toes by Jack Johnson always puts me in a good mood
Circus by Eric Clapton is one of the saddest songs on all time

You want a sad and depressing song? Listen to Johny Cash's version of Hurt.

Yeah, me too. They played that song at the funeral of the little brother of a friend of mine.

I always get an adrenaline rush when I hear the opening lick to the Stones' great tune Start Me Up.

That is definetly one of the saddest songs.

Boy, that's tough ... so many songs come to mind. I'll go with the first couple that pop into my head.

Pumped song: Shooting High Dice, Ronnie Hayward
Sads: Top Of The World, Patty Griffin

Coming up with a saddest song is easy for me... Ruby's Arms by Tom Waits. It's got some personal relationship stuff tied up in it for me, but even before that, it might have been my pick.

As for happiest, that's a bit more difficult. Maybe Shatner's cover of Common People -- while the subject matter isn't particularly happy, it never fails to put me in a good mood.

Sample00 · 02-07-2007, 10:49 AM

Thunderstruck by ACDC - from the opening licks it just pumps ya up

Hello again - Neil Diamond

OK, I have to ask, Jen and Angie who, in 2004 two sister who went to school here in Birch Hills died in a car crash, Jennifer and Angela. Did you happen to live anywhere near Birch Hills, or am I just out in left field here?

Definatley a sad song, pretty sure it's been played at every single funeral i've been to...

also another sad song is that damn mad world song that was in the gears of war commercial!

songs that make me happy? Have a nice day by the stereophonix... and of course the sunshine and lollipops song too.
