My favorite kind of songs are the ones with a very nice beat and rhythm you can listen to all the time and just have you mind sort of drift into thoughts
my favorites:
Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass - A Taste Of Honey
Quantic - In The Key of Blue
Pressure Drop - Dusk
Does anyone else know any other songs like these?
That Gnarls Barkley song Going on makes me cry for some reason
Timebox - Gone Is the Sad Man
The Flaming Lips - Riding to Work in the Year 2025 (Your Invisible Now)
Kong Hydnes Haug by Windir.
Metal can be very very very deep.
^^ The entire Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots album.
Deerhunter - "Agoraphobia"
Sebadoh - "Two Years Two Days"
Spiritualized - "Ladies and Gentleman We Are Floating in Space"
I guess just the way it builds up, but it's still really somber even at its climax. Pretty much the epitome of sad-happy songs
Also every Beach House song, especially like "You Came To Me", god dammit if that band doesn't depress the hell out of me, but in a good way.
props to wobbuffet for the deerhunter
Deerhunter - Hazel St.
Deerhunter - Vox Humana
Fleet Foxes - Tiger Mountain Peasant Song
Man Man - Rabbit Habits
The Microphones - You'll Be In The Air
of Montreal - The Past Is A Grotesque Animal
Quote from: DingleberryClock;1555506That Gnarls Barkley song Going on makes me cry for some reason
It's a song about suicide, so I can understand it giving mixed feelings, but it's not really sad.
Anyway
Every planet we reach is dead - Gorillaz
Blue Ridge Mountains - Fleet Foxes
Hazy Shade of Winter (my favorite song ever) - Simon and Garfunkle
I'm pretty sure theres a whole genre of classical music dedicated to this feeling.
I guess Blind Melon - Galaxie makes feel me good but sad and nostalgic and dreamlike.
Gosh, Fleet Foxes is amazing!
Some new songs I've found:
Afterlife - Bluebar
Ypey - Without You
Goldfrapp - Utopia (New Ears Mix)
Bill Withers - Ain't No Sunshine
You all should check out the Café del Mar compilations, there's a lot of good music to find in them!

"It was a very good year" by Frank Sinatra is the paragon of this song type
"Here I Dreamt I Was An Architect" - The Decemberists
Quote from: Poltergeisty;1588379Pretty much every song on this album

yeah that album is great (also wow they're getting noticed more now aren't they lmao)
two weeks and foreground are standouts for this kind of thread
Yeah, Two Weeks is definately my favorite song. It's weird you mentioned those two, seeing as I was animating yesterday listening to those two songs on a loop.
Not necessarily my favorite songs, but they definitely give me that feeling.
The Beatles - While My Guitar Gently Weeps
Dropkick Murphys - Bastards on Parade
BassHunter - Vi Sitter I Ventrilo Och Spelar Dota
Hot Butter - Popcorn
Dethklok - Into The Water
The Jimi Hendrix Experience - Castles Made of Sand
Anything off of 94 Disknot by Oval.
The Bends by Mr.Bungle
Veckatimest is easily the best album to come out in a long time, I absolutely LOVE Grizzly Bear. I Live With You is just a giant orgasm when it climaxes. To me I feel like Two Weeks is way to poppy to be thrown into this category, just about every other song on the album could be though.
Quote from: Dicklick McGee;1555672^^ The entire Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots album.
Yes,
One More Robot Sympathy 3001
In the Morning of Magicians
Ego Tripping at the Gates of Hell
Are you a Hypnotist?
My favorite songs off of Yoshimi
Also
Grizzly Bear - All We Ask
Grizzly Bear - Dory
Muse - Falling Down
Muse - Muscle Museum
The Shins - Red Rabbits
The Shins - Sleeping Lessons
Radiohead - Airbag
Radiohead - Subterranean Homesick Alien
Portugal the Man - Out and In and In and Out
My Morning Jacket - Touch Me I'm Going to Scream pt. 2
My Morning Jacket - Evil Urges
The Mars Volta - Asilos Magdalena
House of Fools - Let's Follow
House of Fools - Go Down
House of Fools - Interested
House of Fools - Coke and Smoke
Franz Ferdinand - Jacqueline
The Doors - Waiting for the Sun
The Doors - Wishful, Sinful
The Beatles - Because
The Beatles - Dear Prudence
The Beatles - Something
The Beatles - I'm Only Sleeping
The Beatles - Strawberry Fields Forever
Steel Train - I've Let you Go
Steel Train - Kill Monsters in the Rain
Steel Train - 1999
The Spinto Band - Oh Mandy
The Spinto Band - Brown Boxes
Basically, the reason these songs sound nostalgic is the use of major to minor chord progressions as well as the well placed chromatic half step progressions such as in Waiting for the Sun. To me, these progressions are the most beautiful sounding, soothing chord progressions.
