Vivaldi's Four Seasons or Bach's Brandenburgs always lighten my mood. Musically I'm mostly just an old folkie but there's not a lot of stuff I like that you'd call mood enhancing!
What music do you listen to keep the black dog away?(Depression)

Willie Nelson - Phases and Stages (1974) is another one that was recorded wonderfully. It's not one I hear about all that often, but geez is it ever an album that feels warm and cozy under a blanket in front of a fireplace popping and crackling. One that understandably could give ease of mind.
Singed I got a great giggle from the barber clip
I am a huge toneloc fan and it was probably only in the last few years I could understand his reference to OMW in that song being from Australia. I knew it had something to do with a wee wee but yeah
Today is RUOK? day here so I hope all my brothers and sisters and your family are

If you like shanties, have you tried The Dreadnaughts? They’re one of my favorites.
This has been a recent favorite.
I have a really eclectic music taste, but some of my recurring favorites are Colter Wall, Tom Waits, First Aid Kit, Ben Caplan, Willie Watson, The White Buffalo, Dave Stamey… I could go on and on.
OMG RR amazing thanks mate I am on it cheers
Maierar I never in a million years though I would be into classical but was on a property as ringer/farmhand way way outwest many years ago and had bugger all music and a thing came in the mail for a monthly subscription to a 10 CD classical music collection. I couldn't believe how much I enjoyed it and also put it on sometimes now to chill, loved that clip cheers.
An excellent choice! I couldn’t agree more.
I read once that violin music had a higher megahertz that causes us to be more alert, etc. I have used it when driving to relieve fatigue and it helped.
I use to play violin music when I did my calculus and statistics homework.
Somehow it helped. Of that I am certain.
I saw this today and thought it was a very good saying

Not a music idea (but I might suggest Allman Brothers Live - "Hot 'Lanta" ) but scripture tells us in Isaiah "The garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness". When things affect us from a mental/feeling perspective, there is a spiritual side. The dark side knows us and uses "a spirit of heaviness" to keep us from being our best. When I get depressive thoughts, I now start to simply think about everything I have to be thankful about; it starts to move me away from too much self focus. Another idea to fight depression, is simply to go to a hospital and treat yourself to lunch - you will quickly realize how many things you have to be thankful for.
Great insight and advice dwyermw
bump. I had this as ring tone for years love it.
"surgeon general's warning pipe smoking in this clip" it does give me joy everytime I hear it.

Man am I an outlier.
I listen K-Pop or French rap or Bolly-Pop.
My Korean is almost non-existent, speak no Hindi and my French comes from Canada so my Parisian wife says it doesn't count.
I never have to listen to the lyrics very close. Just the music.
You can't be in a bad mood singing along with Black Pink to the ducks. Physically impossible.
