theres a 20 minute video ep of the final cut, and also a radio kaos one. at one point they wanted to make radio kaos into a full length video but it never happened which is a shame. at the time i loved the album. theres also a few videos for the pro's and cons of hitchiking, which is one of the best solo albums, due to eric clapton playing some fantastic guitar work, plus a great cast. hitchiking was written at the same time as the wall, and demo'd for the band to choose which album to record, but the wall was choosen. a few lyrics from one of the songs feature in the wall movie

I'm no GP, but I would say that if you are feeling down then listening to depressing music is probably not a great idea.

What about more upbeat stuff?

But if you insist then you can't go wrong with REMs 'Everybody Hurts'. Although it is meant to be slightly positive in that its saying we all hurt at times.

Angela Ammons from the American pie 2 soundtrack. The track is called 'Always getting over you'................not really slow but the words are quite appropriate for a relationship I think
