Floydaholic Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 (edited) I wanna make a sort of uplifting Cd, along the lines of Everybody Hurts by R.E.M, and Stuck In A Moment You Can't Get Out Of by U2. Do you think that you could help me out??. Thanks. Edited June 6, 2007 by Guest Can't edit further in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Floydaholic Posted June 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 Uplifting??? Man, I've nearly shot myself already. Well, maybe uplifting is the wrong word for you. But to me, those songs show me that when I get down, people do actually understand, and there is a way out. Those are the types of songs that I would like for this Cd.

edna Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 Try some Leonard Cohen... "Goodbye Curel World" - James Darren "I will survive" - Gloria Gaynor (not the same style but it works) "You got your troubles I got mine" - The Fortunes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blind-fitter Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 Ok, I've got my serious hat on now, (not my facetious one). Two of the most "uplifting" songs I've heard in recent times were both by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds: namely "Nature Boy" and "There She Goes, My Beautiful World". Worth checking out, if you're not already familiar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Seeker Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 The first song I thought of is Why Does It Always Rain On Me by Travis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floydaholic Posted June 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 Thank you for posting the songs, and keep em' comin'. I'll check them all out when I get the chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyguitar Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 (edited) Well, I do find the odd, more maudlin tune a tad uplifting from time to time...but not that bollocks you were mentioning...I'd rather throw myself off a bridge than have Bono tell me how to shape up. Me, I'd probably reach for Mrs. Potters Lullaby (Counting Crows)or, He Thinks He'll Keep Her (Mary Chapin Carpenter)...uplifting tunes...miserable lyrics. Is that what you're after? Edited June 6, 2007 by Guest Wasn't rude enough about Bono Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnyguitar Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 No, not really. I'm looking for uplifting lyrics, and music. Well we haven't been very helpful so far have we....Coldplay? I've seen more uplift in a training bra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulGirl Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 the song i suggested is from their debut album 'parachutes' so it's a lot less mopey! seriously, it's a good one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floydaholic Posted June 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 Ha ha, that's true. But the suggestions here are really great. Keep 'em comin'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blind-fitter Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 If somebody gifted me an "uplifting" CD compilation beginning with REM, U2, Coldplay and Travis, I'd honestly have a hard job deciding who to shoot first... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blind-fitter Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 Serious suggestion, now. "The Story Of The Blues" - by The Mighty Wah! is as uplifting a pop tune as I have in my mighty repertwah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skybluesky Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 "Love Will Tear Us Apart" - Joy Division "I Hate Myself And I Want To Die" - Nirvana "Suffer Little Children" - The Smiths "My Life Is a Mediocre Piece Of S**t" - Alice Donut etc.etc. You forgot "Too Drunk to F^#*"-The Dead Kennedys Seriously, these are my uplifting songs: Watching the Wheels-John Lennon Box of Rain-The Grateful Dead YOur Love Has Lifted Me Higher-Rita Coolidge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miamisammy29 Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 I always thought this one was pretty cool....not as cool as "Two Pigs F***ing", of course...but cool in its own Sesame Street-type of way. It's by Cat Stevens and it's called "If You Want To Sing Out, Sing Out"... "Well if you want to sing out, sing out And if you want to be free, be free 'Cause there's a million things to be You know that there are And if you want to live high, live high And if you want to live low, live low 'Cause there's a million ways to go You know that there are You can do what you want The opportunity's on And if you find a new way You can do it today You can make it all true And you can make it undo You see, ah ah ah It's easy, ah ah ah You only need to know Well if you want to say yes, say yes And if you want to say no, say no 'Cause there's a million ways to go You know that there are And if you want to be me, be me And if you want to be you, be you 'Cause there's a million things to do You know that there are You can do what you want The opportunity's on And if you find a new way You can do it today You can make it all true And you can make it undo You see, ah ah ah It's easy, ah ah ah You only need to know Well if you want to sing out, sing out And if you want to be free, be free 'Cause there's a million things to be You know that there are You know that there are You know that there are" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ombre Vivante Posted June 7, 2007 Report Share Posted June 7, 2007 "Love Will Tear Us Apart" - Joy Division "I Hate Myself And I Want To Die" - Nirvana "Suffer Little Children" - The Smiths "My Life Is a Mediocre Piece Of S**t" - Alice Donut etc.etc. These songs are waaay too uplifting. You need to recommend stuff along the lines of "Lovely Day" by Front 242 "A Strange Day" by The Cure "Killing An Arab" by The Cure "Ghosts" by Japan "The Damned Don't Cry" by Visage "Blasphemous Rumours" by Depeche Mode "The Drowning" by Christian Death "Golden Wedding Of Sorrow" by Death In June "Failure" by The Swans "Pity For The Self" by Poesie Noire "Walking On Sunshine" by [Hurricane] Katrina And The Waves It's gotta be stuff that's so uplifting you'll be able to take giant leaps off bridges and buildings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
