I usually like mostly happy music, or at least, music written in a major key with lots of strong major chords, or so pandora tells me. I know I like happy music, like "Slide" (by the Goo Goo Dolls, and if no one has told you yet, it's about an ill-received abortion), and "Boston" (by Augustana, apparently about a girl who wants to get away from LA at all costs), et. cetera. The sound is happy, but it makes it better music in my book if the lyrics are horribly tragic. Black balloon was a really good one for me on that front.
Have you ever heard "Somebody that I used to know" by Gotye? It's horrible. Tragic, haunting, depressing, purely aweful. It's fascinating to me. Like a moth to a flame I am drawn to that song. Therefore you should obviously check out this version of it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d9NF2edxy-M
It's much better than the original music video. I was honestly more disturbed by the Walk off the Earth version than the real version.
They did a version of the Taylor Swift song Trouble. Let me just say I love Taylor Swift. I think that music video was genius, and I think the Walk off the Earth version was also great.
