embarking on a journey

i've decided to amass the 100 saddest/depressing 100 happiest/joyous songs for me in my personal life

i will send jaci the hard copy but i think i'll upload it here
any suggestions that you guys like? give me 1 happy and 1 sad, or 5 and 5 or 1 and 0

quick preview:

sad: radiohead - exit music for a film, george harrison - all things must pass
