Hey guys, I'm Serina and was wondering if yall have any songs that make you feel good when you're down cuz today has not been a good day for me. just got a bad grade in one of my classes and i think i'm gonna get yelled at by my mom. :( my friend from fontana told me to listen to Canton Jones's music and right now i really like his songs on his Kingdom Business album on his Myspace page. i guess you'll have to search for it, but i really think it's inspiring. does anyone here like his music? just got into it, but my favorite song on there is The Professional. my friend and i were thinking bout going to his Hope Nation tour when he comes here at the end of the month, but lets hope my mom doesn't ground me for getting bad grades. anyway, enough bout me, what are some songs that make you feel good when you're not having a good day? :(

Rooftops by The Lostprophets... Don't know why, it always make me feel at least a little bit happier though...

The Middle by Jimmy Eat World also has a similar effect.

I'm No Angel
By The Allman Brothers.

(It makes me think of Ben, dunno why)

No I'm no angel, no I'm no stranger to the street
I've got my label, so I wont crumble at your feet
And I know baby, so I've got scars upon my cheek
And I'm half crazy, come on and love me baby

So you find me hard to handle, well I'm easier to hold
So you like my spurs that jingle and I never leave you cold
So I might steal your diamonds Ill bring you back some gold
I'm no angel

No I'm no angel, no I'm no stranger to the dark
Let me rock your cradle, let me start a fire with your spark
Oh come on baby, come and let me show you my tattoo
Let me drive you crazy, come on and love me baby

So you don't give a darn about me, I never treat you bad
I wont ever lift a hand to hurt you & I'll always leave you glad
So I might steal your diamonds I'll bring you back some gold
I'm no angel

Lead

No I'm no angel, no I'm no stranger to the dark
Let me rock your cradle, let me start a fire in your heart
Oh come on baby, come and let me show you my tattoo
Let me drive you crazy, come on and love me baby
