Rules - put all of your music library – no playlists! – on shuffle & list the first fifteen songs that play, bold the songs that lift your mood and italicize the songs that make you the most emotional + tag ten people

I have added underlining for "I am terrible sorry but I can't not sing along to this".

1 - Requiem For A Dream Melody - I urgently require a "something but it's not emotional the way the meme means" symbol.

2 - Up The Wolves - The Mountain Goats (which I didn't even know I had)

3 - Cruel - Calexico

4 - I Try - Macy Gray, I am sorry, this is one of those tracks

5 - Save Yourself - Sense Field

6 - Master and Servant - Depeche Mode

7 - A Little Respect - Erasure

8 - All The Way To Reno (You're Going To Be A Star) - REM

9 - Lola - the Kinks

10 - Jailhouse Rock - Elvis Presley

11 - Don't Look Back In Anger - Noel Gallagher (him doing it solo at a charity gig) - If I am not singing along to this, it is time to check my pulse

12 - Get Up Stand Up - Bob Marley & the Wailers

13 - Immigrant Song - Led Zepplin

14 - Hallelujah - Leonard Cohen - You know the songs that don't work with a "good" singer. This is one of them.

15 - Going Down To Nowhere - Thea Gilmore

Day 1 - A Song You Like With a Colour In The Title.

It was going to be Red Haired Mary (Clancy Brothers version), but I kept having this feeling I'd forgotten something.

Something turned out to be

Watch on YouTube

Blue Monday by New Order, mostly because I've got it filed under "How does it feel?" in my mental jukebox.

The beauty of, dead industry
The stuff we have saved, so fataly

Surrounded by coloured leaves on the ground
As I stare at the trees
I see one fall down on my hand.

Is High by Feeder.

Never met you before

14 - [Can You Hear Us [Title redacted] x 8]

Life is a cigarette, you smoke to the end,
But if you rocket the middle bit,
Then you burn all your friends,
The wider your eyes, the bigger the lies, yes it's true,

Is Pumping on Your Stereo by Supergrass, again, nearly guessed by
