All I want in life's a little bit of love to take the pain away. I think this is to an extent true for everyone, except for those who proclaim strength in independence. I'll be the first to admit that even though I feel completely capable and competent on my own, it would be so much better if I had something to ground me back down.
I recently stumbled upon a relatively new upload of a live version of "Ladies and Gentlemen We're Floating in Space" that I am absolutely in love with. The studio version itself is peaceful in it's own right but when you incorporate a choir (would that be the right term?) into it, it just makes it so heavenly.
I know the song is basically Canon in D (I think) but did Canon in D have the beeping space sound in it? Nope. That's why this song is awesome. Oh, and not to mention the lyrical simplicity helps drive home the emotion behind the song that can't help but make me stop whatever I'm doing or thinking about when I hear the song and feel the experience overwhelm me.
More on this later.

Jonsi
Jonsi. Of Sigur Ros fame.
This song makes me really happy, regardless of how shitty I feel this kind of just picks you back up.

The Temper Trap
The Temper Trap is one of those bands where a song really hooked me into them but I couldn't really appreciate the rest of their work until later on when I looked deeper into what they were all about.
Not surprisingly, I was REALLY pleased with what I uncovered. "The Science of Fear" is already featured on the FIFA 2010 soundtrack and this song, "Sweet Disposition" is featured on the soundtrack for 500 Days of Summer which from what I hear is a really cute movie.
I also found it hilarious that FIFA had to edit "The Science of Fear" to remove the word "Death" and "Murder" from the line "Or watch the (slow death)/(murder) of your way of life". Not only is it incredibly distracting but completely unnecessary.
America.
Give them a listen, you might end up liking them a lot.

Forget About the Future
This has got to be one of my favorite music videos to watch. I think it just captures the song so well, even though there really isn't much going on everything just works. There's no wasted attempt at adding a storyline, it's just aesthetically pleasing.
CC walking around the LED lights with her hair down is pretty sexy too, in my opinion. The first time I watched this video I was just like "Yeeah!" cause Tiesto is the fucking man.
But seriously though, the way the director uses the LED lights and flood lights to cut the darkness is great. Did I mention that it's a really good tune to? That mario beat in the background is just killer and makes it so much more cooler.
