Soundtrack of My Life

Merci beaucoup, Ali, for tagging me! This looks like much fun, especially since it involves answering questions, which I like to do very much (unless they're about certain things that make my heart go doki-doki).
  Okay, I'm going to get right to it, because kweschuns!

  Songs I listen to when I'm happy:
  Ahh, I'm generally in a good mood, and I generally just listen to the songs I downloaded recently, so there are very few songs that I listen to when I'm specifically very happy, really. I think I'd probably say:
  Invincible, by Muse;
  Catch You Catch Me by Gumi (It's the Card Captor Sakura opening);
  Tunnel of Love by Dire Straits;
  All of the ABBA Gold album, hehe.

  Songs I listen to when I'm sad:
  Ooh, my favourite playlist, probably - it's so beautifully crafted, and I'm pretty proud of it. It consists mostly of songs that make me feel sad, and not songs that make me feel better - possibly because I'm looking for sympathy from the music, not advice.
  Stay With Me, I'm not the Only One, and Not In That Way by Sam Smith;
  Heavy in Your Arms, by Florence + the Machine;
  Safe and Sound, by Taylor Swift;
  Bittersweet, by Ellie Goulding;
  A bunch of songs I first heard last summer, that remind me of how things were then and make me feel nostalgic, and very, very wistful - includes I Can't Smile Without You (Barry Manilow), Karma Police (Radiohead) and a bunch of Queen songs;
  Empire of My Mind, by the Wallflowers;
  And a bunch of songs from the Catching Fire Soundtrack.

  Last song I listened to:
  Aha! Bohemian Rhapsody, by Queen.

  The most musically involved I have been:
  Oh dear. Does singing very badly and very loudly count? If not, my brother's a piano student, so when he's in Russia, I bang on the keys so that they don't, ah, get rusty (figuratively).

  Four or more flawless albums:
  I can't answer this one properly, because I don't really pay attention to albums? However there are two that I noticed, because I like almost all of the music on both. The ABBA Gold one, and a Florence + the Machine album, 'Ceremonials'.

  Favourite movie soundtrack(s):
  Oh good lord, I don't pay attention to this either! Maybe the Catching Fire one. Harry Potter, of course. When Harry Met Sally! Oh, I remember that one was pretty damn good. Also, definitely the old musicals - Sound of Music and My Fair Lady.

  Last musical phase before I wised up:
  Hah, maybe my EDM phase. I used be super crazy about EDM sometime back, because I listened to this dance station on TuneIn, gayfm.de (I still do, but I'm not quite as crazed). I still love the obscure(-ish) European dance music, like stuff by Milky Chance, but not the well-known DJ's so much.

  Guilty pleasure I admit to having:
  Baby is stuck in my head a LOT; And I actually very much enjoy listening to the songs my mother suggests. Truly, the music she listened to when she was in college is the best.

  Songs that make me lose my shit at a party:
  Wow, almost anything if I'm in the right mood. But ah, let's see -
  Don't Stop Me Now, by Queen;
  Moves Like Jagger, by Maroon 5;
  Me and My Broken Heart, by Rixton (please, don't ask);
  Sultans of Swing and Tunnel of Love (yes, again), by Dire Straits;
  Stay the Night, by Zedd ft. Hayley Williams,
  and Mr. Brightside, Somebody Told Me and Human, by the Killers.

  Songs I listen to most when I'm out and about:
  Hah, in the car, I ONLY listen to the ABBA Gold album (yes, I know I've mentioned it three times, now). It's sort of a thing, because everybody in my family sings along, and we only get into the car when we're all together.
  If I'm travelling otherwise, headphones on and all that, I listen lots of Florence, and slow, deep, I'm-thinking-and-sad-and-away-from-home music.

  I think that's all, but for the heck of it, let me name, um, five songs I relate to - Not In That Way and Stay With Me; Love Somebody (Maroon 5); Take a Chance on Me and Mamma Mia (ABBA); And Mr. Brightside.
  That said and done, I tag the Beached Whale (that's you, Sara) and because I have no other friends, the pinafore (even though she is already tagged - who cares, let her be squished under the numerous number of tags that she receives, then we'll never have to see her stupid face again) (It's a little weird how I display my love for you, Vibha).

  Wondrous, I now have those bloody Killers' songs stuck in my head.
