Songs for every mood

I like to use songs to express my mood. Sometimes I would sing happy songs (or hum happy tunes -- that happens more often) and it would kinda reflect my happy mood. On the other hand, I would sing sad songs when -- you guessed it, I'm sad.

Sometimes it's not just the tune, but also I sing songs which reflect my thoughts, my feelings in the lyrics. Often only part of the song reflects my feelings; it's difficult to find songs to suit certain moods, like songs that would show your sadness in not going for a class outing (for instance) as you could not make it. (Actually I can think of a part of a song that reflects this feeling. Well kind of. Let me know if you know this song?)

Anyway the tune I'm humming to now is One Step At A Time, by Jordin Sparks. The link to the MV and the lyrics are posted below:
Link to the MV
Hurry up and wait
So close, but so far away
Everything that you've always dreamed of
Close enough for you to taste
But you just can't touch

You wanna show the world, but no one knows your name yet
Wonder when and where and how you're gonna make it
You know you can if you get the chance
In your face as the door keeps slamming
Now you're feeling more and more frustrated
And you're getting all kind of impatient waiting

[Chorus:]
We live and we learn to take
One step at a time
There's no need to rush
It's like learning to fly
Or falling in love
It's gonna happen and it's
Supposed to happen that we
Find the reasons why
One step at a time

You believe and you doubt
You're confused, you got it all figured out
Everything that you always wished for
Could be yours, should be yours, would be yours
If they only knew

You wanna show the world, but no one knows your name yet
Wonder when and where and how you're gonna make it
You know you can if you get the chance
In your face as the door keeps slamming
Now you're feeling more and more frustrated
And you're getting all kind of impatient waiting

[Chorus]

When you can't wait any longer
But there's no end in sight
when you need to find the strength
It's the faith that makes you stronger
The only way you get there
Is one step at a time

[Chorus x2]

Have you realised that the lyrics have been modified? Maybe not, but I like to do that, to certain songs especially, so as to better reflect my inner feelings.

On a last note, my inner soul is my best pal. I like to talk to him, discuss things with him, pour out my thoughts with him, even release my stress with him. My inner soul is virtual though (stop thinking about light!), and how I would wish for a real pal!
