Alot of people don't have anything positive in their routines except some of the music they listen to...so lets quote some songs that make us feel good.
Everton Blender - Can't stop the vibes.
Who can stop JAH vibes from flowWwW? tell them to try and stop it now (cant stop jah vibes)
Who can stop...Jah tumble from rolling? the lightening that flashes...the breeze thats blowing...the fishes in the sea...and the things that keep moving...its the nature ...of JAH you'll see...and his wonderful words is no mystery...
Who can stop JAH vibes from flowWwW? tell them to try and stop it now (cant stop jah vibes)
Look at the night...when the land is dark....Jahjah moonlight shine so bright (shines so bright)...Look at the day...you see the sunlight... People wash their clothes and hang them to dry...And in the garden there's so many flowers...givethanks with incense from different colors... (Red Gold and Green) And everything... you see around you... It is a proof to show he's true.
Who can stop JAH vibes from flowWwW? tell them to try and stop it now (cant stop jah vibes)
You have some tree tall...you have some small...Jahjah made them all...With his great mind, and his wonderous power...Now and then he bless us with a little shower (o with a blessing)
Who can stop JAH vibes from flowWwW? tell them to try and stop it now (cant stop jah vibes)

I like John Denver's song... The eagle and the hawk
The Eagle and the Hawk
I am the Eagle I live in high country in rocky cathedrals that reach to the sky I am the hawk and there's blood on my feathers but time is still turning they soon will be dry and all those who see me and all who believe in me share in the freedom I feel when I fly
Come dance with the west wind and touch all the mountaintops sail all the canyons and up to the stars and reach for the heavens and hope for the future all that we can be not what we are

Bowl of oranges, by Bright Eyes
The rain it started tappin' On the window near my bed There was a loophole in my dreamin' So I got out of it And to my surprise my eyes were wide and already open Just my nightstand and my dresser Where those nightmares had just been
So I dressed myself and left then Out into the gray streets But everything seemed different And completely new to me The sky the trees, houses, buildings, even my own body And each person I encountered I couldn't wait to meet
And I came upon a doctor Who appeared in quite poor health I said there's nothing that I can do for you you can't do for yourself He said oh yes you can, just hold my hand, I think that that would help So I sat with him awhile Then I asked him how he felt
He said I think I'm cured No, in fact, I'm sure of it Thank you, stranger For your therapeutic smile
So that's how I learned the lesson That everyone's alone And your eyes must do some raining If you're ever gonna grow And when crying don't help You can't compose yourself It's best to compose a poem An honest verse of longing Or a simple song of hope
That's why I'm singing baby don't worry 'Cause now I got your back And every time you feel like crying I'm gonna try and make you laugh And if I can't If it just hurts too bad Then we'll wait for it to pass And I will keep you company for those days so long and black
And we'll keep working on the problem We know we'll never solve Of love's uneven remainders Our lives are fractions of a whole But if the world could remain within a frame Like a painting on a wall Then I think we'd see the beauty then We'd stand staring in awe
At our still lives posed Like a bowl of oranges Like a story told By the fault-lines and the soil
-------------------- Men look at themselves and they see flawed humans, we look at women and we see perfect GODDESSES Women look at themselves and they seem utterly human, when looking at men they see proud GODS. ~Casil

I will choke until I swallow... Choke this infant here before me. What is this but my reflection? Who am I to judge and strike you down? But you're pushing and shoving me. You still love me and you pushit on me. Rest your trigger on my finger, bang my head upon the fault line. Take care not to make me enter. 'cause if I do we both may disappear. But you're pushing me, shoving me. Pushit on me. Slipping back into the gap again. I'm alive when you're touching me, alive when you're shoving me down. But i'd trade it all for just a little bit of piece of mind. Put me somewhere I don't wanna be. Seeing someplace I don't wanna see. Never wanna see that place again. Saw that gap again today as you were begging me to stay. Managed to push myself away, and you, as well. If, when I say I may fade like a sigh if I stay, you minimize my movement anyway, I must persuade you another way. There's no love in fear. Staring down the hole again. Hands upon my back again. Survival is my only friend. Terrified of what may come. Just remember I will always love you, even as I tear your fucking throat away. But it will end no other way.

Bellylard- You posted my favorite song.
Well heres my contribution.
At first light lay proud foundations. Sense the greatness that before you unfolds. Seek no more for hollow answers. Answers that lay within you all along. Farewell to dawns seen through saddened eyes. Farewell to pasts to sorrows chained. Forget your fears. You will have everything. You will be strong and want no more. You'll be adored. You will have everything. Forget your fears and want no more.

yea, i read these forums almost every day but never post... you brought me out of the closet
Atmosphere - "Saves the Day" (Verse 1) From the fifth floor I schedule my meeting with the moon Stress, let it go so it don't completely consume When the vegetables bite back, and the grass starts to sting I yell up to heaven to get me the hell out of this dream I fell out of my stream of self-consciousness And I got welts on my mind to signify all my accomplishments No matter whose math you use to count the dead Progress will never rest, in the hand that has no head Brought my brain a cane and asked it to be my pimp You know, to make sure I don't get stuck up in my fuck ups A little overanxious I was, to bust nuts And find the answers making love Out of a canvas full of touch-ups I dip my brush into what I've wept for And wonder out loud as I can, how long I've slept for I should rob a pet store, let the dogs wild I should close all the schools just to make the kids smile Sieze the limit, let the sky be the moment Put the key to the ignition, I'ma ride these donuts And when it breaks, lock the door, walk away Won't be nothin else to talk about, nothin else to say
(Hook x4) I'm just waiting for the moment I can break away The only reason that I stay, so I can save the day
...
Refused - "It's not o.k. to pretend that everythings alright" It's not o.k. to pretend that everythings alright (full song)
More Refused - Crusader of Hoplessness Stretch out in your christ pose, marionette of lost hope. Your sadness at the expense of the world. You're dying to be this, your living to be this. Energy wasted on feeling sorry for ourselves. We didn't deserve it. We didn't deserve it. Like using a thousand apologies as a thousand excuses for making the same mistakes. Crusader of hoplessness, crucified by yourself. What do you know about suffering? So full of reasons not to see the possibilities to change. This suffocation and turn it into focus. "cause we don't need this, cause we don't need this. Forget about your selfpity, forget about your petty problems, forget about your small world.
...
BLIND MELON LYRICS
"Life Ain't So Shitty"
Life ain't so shitty There's a lot that you can be And ain't it a pity But its alright to smile back at me And if we both go there We can count on problems that we might not necessarily Come in contact with, Hey wake up, do you know where I'm coming from
...
Eric Cartman - "Kyle's Mom's a Bitch " Well..... Kyle's mom's a bitch She's a big fat bitch She's the biggest bitch in the whole wide world She's a stupid bitch if there ever was a bitch She's a bitch to all the boys and girls
On Monday she's a bitch On Tuesday she's a bitch On Wednsday through Saturday she's a bitch Then on Sunday, just to be different, She's a superkinkamayamayabeeatch
Have you ever met my friend Kyle's mom? She's the biggest bitch in the whole wide world She's a mean 'ol bitch and she has stupid hair She's a big big big big big big bitch Big big big big big big big bitch, she's a stupid bitch
Kyle's mom's a bitch and she's just a dirty bitch
Talk to kids around the world it might go a little bit something like this:
[Chinese singing] [French singing] [Dutch singing] [African singing]
Have you ever met my friend Kyle's mom? She's the biggest bitch in the whole wide world She's a mean 'ol bitch and she has stupid hair She's a big big big big big big bitch
Big big big big big big big bitch, she's a stupid bitch Kyle's mom's a bitch and she's just a dirty bitch I really mean it Kyles mom, she's a big fat fucking bitch Big old fat fucking bitch Kyle's mom Yeah Chaaaa

Ok, this one is for my girl and anyone else suffering from the sickness
Aesop Rock - "Basic Cable" television, all hail grand pixelated god of fantasy, murder scape and perspective f**k a sore channel changed digit I sit with a nasty network intervenes plan with a stable diet of my cable pirate yo, the doctor is in, the doctor is on born the bastard son of static radiance cloned to welcome in every home lead a blue screen, bruised dream canope victim of the cursed nursed Technicolor drunk support team ooh, I love all advertisements though accused by robot news casters who capture and pollute spoon fed hazardous fog to joy luck catholic squad please take me, please calm me, please make me a zombie please I want to donate my brain to the monstrous Panasonic profit now, twenty first century plagued dispersed to wide eyed glamour addict patients telecast patrons blue be the propaganda banners, well, sure I'll be a Marine with a clean sword and blue uniform, it only takes a dollar and a dream and I abide great idiot box power supply, fuzz vapor, black out of New York, hey honey, get the generator I'm in a doom, doom generation, pacin', ancient electric secret never sleepin' to miss the AM oasis my name is a wired heart, sloppy obligation turn my stilt into my guilt and have a chatter box blame frame adjacent station make reality scrambled and suck the life out of a hidden vandal and loving every minute of the gimmick, change the channel
plug it in, turn it on, prop me up against the couch lights out, I ain't ever gonna have to leave my house satellite dish, get up on my wish list, turn me to a tyrant let my clean spirit dissolve through the appliance
plug it in, turn it on, be my mother when she's gone, great wipe the spittle off my chinny-chin during the breaks if I gotta go blind I'mma do it for the love of all television kind and that's fine, and that's fine...
make me a star, I wanna touch gold hold me suspended in a dream, mearly inches from the screen deleted passions sacrificed to one electron monster crucify my little future to the monitor damn it feels good, turn on, tune in zoom in to hug the bug up in your family function but the children seem to love it yes mother, me and wild discovery and heard the static flock to where I sleep by the glow of that magic box big speaker stereo mastered often kill the freak seekers, eyes spiraling tangled in the star spangled wiring I can turn from toxicated visuals and all the kings horses abort the loyalty to royalty f**k the fortress riddle me with glee, hoist the end all telepromter above my sleeping head I'll be dead by morning anyway color my values with mundane humor in thirty minute tickets to feel the magnetic seal picket censorship I want commercials twenty four-seven I wanna shop from my bed and set an example for all my overworked, underpaid brethren I bond with a six string(?) correspondence and lurking circuitry circus with allegiance pledged beyond the glass surface adamant students within the fine school of possessed graduate catalysts channel zero addict, immaculate it goes- big screen, little screen, any screen'll do just let me hold the controller and I won't have to murder you
plug it in, turn it on, let my little eyes glaze twenty screens lined up along the borders of the maze I wanna see the five day forecast, fourteen days in advance so I can get my two weeks notice every time the sun dance
plug it in, turn it on, silent fix better than nothing let a once divine soul feel the functions of the hypnotist the viciousness, ridiculous, peaking a dummy's interest touch the power button meet your maker, ain't that something?
plug it in, turn it on, say goodbye to Sunday afternoon fix the antenna, sit back and let disaster bloom it's a beautiful sight, with a most ugly intention but I taste it everyday and bathe inside the consequences
plug it in, turn it on, never once have you talked back to me your majesty, I love you, I despise you my everyday is sitcom, soaps, news, bad dramatization come along with me, my friend for the most glorious sensation
well... i got lots more but i'll leave u with this ... if you can't see the positivity, perhaps it's your perspective? peace fluffy

This one's by John Prine:
When I woke up this morning, things were lookin' bad Seem like total silence was the only friend I had Bowl of oatmeal tried to stare me down... and won And it was twelve o'clock before I realized That I was havin' .. no fun
But fortunately I have the key to escape reality And you may see me tonight with an illegal smile It don't cost very much, but it lasts a long while Won't you please tell the man I didn't kill anyone No I'm just tryin' to have me some fun
Last time I checked my bankroll, It was gettin' thin Sometimes it seems like the bottom Is the only place I've been I Chased a rainbow down a one-way street... dead end And all my friends turned out to be insurance salesmen
But fortunately I have the key to escape reality And you may see me tonight with an illegal smile It don't cost very much, but it lasts a long while Won't you please tell the man I didn't kill anyone No I'm just tryin' to have me some fun
Well, I sat down in my closet with all my overalls Tryin' to get away From all the ears inside my walls I dreamed the police heard Everything I thought... what then? Well I went to court And the judge's name was Hoffman
Ah but fortunately I have the key to escape reality And you may see me tonight with an illegal smile It don't cost very much, but it lasts a long while Won't you please tell the man I didn't kill anyone No I'm just tryin' to have me some fun Well done, hot dog bun, my sister's a nun

I have two to share...though I understand my idea of "uplifting" may be different than some others. I intend no offense with these lyrics, of course 
Propagandhi - Haillie Sellasse, Up Your Ass
You speak of Rastafari, but how can you justify Belief...in a god that's left you behind? You've simply filled the gap, Between the upper and lower class, And your faith merely keeps you in line...in line, yeah
An amalgamation of Jewish scripture, and Christian thought... What will that get you? Not a fuck of a lot! Take a look at your promised land, Your deed is that gun in your hand! Mount Zion's a minefield! The west bank...the gaza strip! The west bank...the gaza strip! The west bank...the gaza strip! The west bank...the gaza strip! Soon to be parking lots, for American tourists! And fascist cops, yeah!
Fuck Zionism! Fuck militarism! Fuck Americanism! Fuck nationalism! Fuck religion! Fuck religion! Fuck religion! Fuck religion! Fuck religion! Fuck religion! Fuck religion! Fuck religion!
---------------
Tool - Aenema
Some say the end is near, Some say we'll see armageddon soon, I certainly hope we will, I sure could use a vacation from this Bullshit three ring circus sideshow of freaks!
Here in this hopeless fucking hole we call LA The only way to fix it is to flush it all away! Any fucking time! Any fucking day! Learn to swim, I'll see you down in Arizona bay!
Fret for your firgure and Fret for your latte and Fret for your hairpiece and Fret for your lawsuit and Fret for your prozac and Fret for your pilot and Fret for your contract and Fret for your car.
It's a bullshit three ring circus side show of freaks! Here in this hopeless fucking hole we call LA, The only way to fix it is to flush it all away! Any fucking time, any fucking day! Learn to swim, I'll see you down in Arizona bay!
Some say a comet will fall from the sky, Followed by meteor showers and tidal waves, Followed by faultlines that cannot sit still, Followed by millions of dumbfounded dipshits, Some say the end is near, Some say we'll see armageddon soon, I certainly hope we will! I sure could use a vacation from this Silly shit...stupid shit... One great big festering neon distraction, I've a suggestion to keep you all occupied... Learn to swim! Learn to swim! Mom's gonna fix it all soon, Mom's comin' round to put it back the way it ought to be!
Learn to swim! Learn to swim! Learn to swim! Learn to swim! Learn to swim! Learn to swim!
Fuck L Ron Hubbard and Fuck all his clones! Fuck all these gun-toting Hip gangster wannabes! Learn to swim! Learn to swim! Fuck retro anything! Fuck your tattoos! Fuck all you junkies and Fuck your short memory! Learn to swim! Learn to swim! Fuck smiley glad-hands With hidden agendas! Fuck these dysfunctional Insecure actresses! Learn to swim! Learn to swim!
Cuz I'm praying for rain, I'm praying for tidal waves, I wanna see the ground give way, I wanna watch it all go down, Mom please flush it all away! I wanna watch it go right in and down, I wanna watch it go right in! Watch you flush it all away!
Time to bring it down again! Don't just call me pessimist, Try and read between the lines! I can't imagine why you wouldn't, Welcome any change, my friend! I wanna see it all come down! Suck it down! Flush it down!
---------------
As far as uplifting music itself goes, I really enjoy Bethoven's "Moonlight Sonata"
--------------------
Once, men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them.

Another Refused fan!! That's totally awesome! Refused has probably influenced me more musically than any other band..(particularly the album The Shape Of Punk To Come) Great stuff A couple more by Refused: "The Deadly Rhythm (Of The Production Line)" ["We got more coming, right now. There's more coming. We're gonna get, gonna get little sort of a session going here. A bit of a session, a sessions that will feature the rhythm section." ] This union that made us powerless is talking over our heads Claiming prosperity in a downward spiral plan Stuck by the deadly rhythm of the production line Stuck by the deadly rhythm of the production line This power that made us unionless is taking out of our hands Cheapest labour at our expensive cost, auctioned our lives away Stuck by the deadly rhythm of the production line Stuck by the deadly rhythm of the production line We consume our lives like we are thankful For what we are being forced into Is it our duty to die for governments & for gods? Is it our privilege to slave for market & for industry? Is it our right to follow laws, set to scare and to oppress? Is it a gift to stay in line and will it take away the blame? Can no longer pay the price. We'll get organized! We'll no longer believe working for you will set us free! Can no longer pay the price. We'll get organized! We'll no longer believe working for you will set us free! "New Noise" Can I scream? Yeah! We lack the motion to move to the new beat We lack the motion to move to the new beat It's here for us to admire if we can afford the beauty of it Can afford the luxury of turning our heads Adjust that thousand dollars smile and behold the creation of man Great words won't cover ugly actions - good frames won't save bad paintings We lack the motion to move to the new beat. Yeah! We lack... motion When the day is over - Hey! - the doors are locked on us Money buys the access - and we can't pay the cost And how can we expect anyone to listen if we are using the same old voice? We need new noise - new art for the real people We dance to all the wrong songs We enjoy all the wrong moves We dance to all the wrong songs We're not leading We dance to all the wrong songs We enjoy all the wrong moves We dance to all the wrong songs We're not, we're not, we're not, we're not, we're not, we're not... Leading We dance - all the wrong songs We enjoy - all the wrong moves We dance - all the wrong songs We dance - all the wrong songs We enjoy - all the wrong moves We dance - all the wrong songs Here we go! We dance to all the wrong songs We enjoy all the wrong moves We dance to all the wrong songs We're not leading. Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! The new beat! The new beat! The new beat! The new beat! The new beat! The new beat! The new beat! The new beat! The new beat! The new beat! The new beat! The new beat! The new beat! The new beat! The new beat! The new beat! Thank you.

yes I have songs to fan the flames of discontent, definitely another great album and I agree with what you said about it. More of a 'Metal' kind of feel to that album IMO. I'm listening to 'horses' free song they have posted now..not bad so far. I'm gonna have to see if theres any more of these guys on soulseek

Gravity
Lost again Broken and weary Unable to find my way Tail in hand Dizzy and clearly unable to Just let this go
I am surrendering to the gravity and the unknown Catch me heal me lift me back up to the sun I choose to live
I fell again Like a baby unable to stand on my own Tail in hand Dizzy and clearly unable to just this go High and surrendering to the gravity and the unknown Catch me heal me lift me back up to the sun I choose to live, I choose to live, I choose to live
Catch me heal me lift me back up to the sun Help me survive the bottom
Calm these hands before they Snare another pill and Drive another nail down another Meaty hole please release me
I am surrendering to the gravity and the unknown Catch me heal me lift me back up to the sun I choose to live, I choose to live
