Which songs lift u up when ur feeling down?

I figure that I'll revive this topic, considering how much tragedy is in the world today. Not only with the natural world, but with the VA Tech massacre.

I'll start:

P Control
1999
Little Red Corvette
Let's Pretend We're Married
I Would Die 4 U

I'm listening to Emancipation radio and came across "Jam of the Year" and "7". Both I heard for the first time and liked. They did just the same.

Billy Jack & 319 (which u already mentioned) from TGE... I enjoy them so much cuz they make me happy.

Gett Off is always good too...

I feel ya. Those are among my favorites.

Dream Street used to help me when I was down with a song called "Matter of Time"... when they were big with me, I believed in that song more than anything.

In the case of my old favorite, Jesse McCartney, his song "Because you live" is definitely a good one for me.

Nearly everything off TGE is uplifting (of course, I haven't shut up about it since I realized how much I liked it)... Gold is the ultimate song for this purpose 4 me and it works in more ways than the obvious.

oh yea- Gold is one of my fave songs from TGE. the video is so shiny. eek There was glitter everywhere. But the song is beautiful.

I think the BSB's Greatest Hits album has all the songs you bolded. And the DVD version has all the videos except Drowning.

Yeah, I own their Greatest Hits CD, but honestly, a lot of their best songs weren't included (and two of the songs that made the cut weren't among my favorites).

Gold's video has such an unusual quality to it. Maybe it's the camera or something, but I barely think of Prince as Prince in the video... he seems like a completely different person... like he's enlightened or different somehow. I've yet to touch on how/why I see him so differently, but I guess it's the magic of the song as well as how it came to be my favorite & soul tattoo.

Last week, I'd listen to Purple Rain and thought it sounded so sad (at least from Prince's POV), so almost always, I have to play
I Would Die 4 U
afterwards to bring myself out of the dumps he put me in with the sadness in his tone throughout the song.

It sure is a good thing that 90% of his music is upbeat & happy (at least of what I've heard, there are only a handful of sad songs he's written that I've heard).

Raspberry Beret almost always does the same .

can't argue with that. Gold's awesome.

More and more, I've got a feeling that Prince really wants to write happy pieces with a positive message atttached to them. I saw one appearance on the Musicology tour when he started doing "Money Don't Matter 2night" and he changed songs since he felt "there's too much trouble in the world today" to bring the whole morale of the audience down.

Maybe he only writes sad songs when he really feels that he needs to get something off his chest or he wants to send a powerful message to his listeners.
Anyone want to second that theory?

People pan the song that gets me up:

NEW POSITION - P makes a better mood a promise in this song, "I can make u happy (I can make u h-a-p-p-y)..."

I love it! It is so campy and I want to get in a conga line when it pops up on my IPod.
