two so far for alberto balsalm... i never considered that
such a sad song. if anything a happy song.. well maybe
thats where the beautiful song comes in. i consider it a
"happy" song cause its so relaxing and has a nice beat with
nice sounds.

I consider it sad as well as beautiful... kind of this
melancholy happy feeling, I dunno. Just makes me emotional,
can't explain why.

I forgot to list about 50 dozen other tracks, I have to
resist the urge to do it... urghh...

Vit- dunno, just one of those low periods that happen for
seemingly no reason... had a fight with someone, but other
than that, things are great, no school till January,
Christmas coming... it's all good, it's just the chemical
imbalance in my brain acting up again.

Well Ophecks I've wracked my brain and this is what I've
come up with
Anything Penguine cafe orchestra
Uakti
(anything odd and -strangely- upbeat)
Come to think of it Aphex fits pretty well into that
category.
I guess I tend to avoid anything that would make my mood
worse

I'll shut up now :-P

that usually sounds sad:

nin
radiohead
portishead

The saddest Tom Waits song I've heard is 'faun'. Makes me
want to settle down on the prairy and raise a family.. The
saddest song I've ever heard is 'Judas as Black Moth' by
current 93..
