Sometimes I’m sad/stressed/fed up/depressed. Just generally down. I have created a playlist to listen to at these times. Sometimes I listen to it on shuffle, sometimes I select certain songs. Here is the list, though more songs will probably be added over time:

Now a few comments:
1. Yes, Sabio really are that good, though only about 7 people in the world seem to have heard of them. I’ll write about them sometime.
2. If there is such a thing as a 2 hit wonder, Snow Patrol may be it. Run and Chasing Cars are huge, the rest of their stuff is mediocre.
3. Some of the most intense songs I have ever heard feature here – namely Worlds Apart, Simon, Mother and A friend of mine. These songs are just so emotionally draining just to listen to, it’s insane. But so good.
Does anyone else have certain songs or playlists like this? I'm talking the type of songs that just pick you up and calm you down when you need it?

Ooh, I should make a list like this.
As an aside, are Sabio lyrics available on the net anywhere? I'm getting fairly obsessed. Also, do you own any Fruit? I heard of them when they were about, but didn't know they were the precursor to Sabio.
Indeed you should.
I thought I had the lyrics as a word file but I can't find it :-(
When I get more time I'll try to type them up and email them to you.
No fruit sadly. Or Oversol, the band Sabio developed into.
