u cud try this one out, cause i studied this!.!. To feel mellow, you must listen to like classical music or some Enya!. to be happy, you could listen to a really happy song like happy together or happy by alexia, or if you want some kiddie songs!. for depression, you can go for emo!.!. try pain by jimmy eats world!. (hope that works!.) and for extremely angry!? might i say more!? just listen to a rock band like My chemical romance or something!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I won't make it so easy for you, with names, but I will tell you what I as a writer do!. For me, music is a background effect, certainly adding to or detracting from any mood!.

In your case, Tension, High energy, even Anger, can be translated through high volume, heavy metal!. Depressed can be expressed through so much Country music, or dark ballads by popular contemporary groups!. There's likely thousands of "Woe is Me" songs out there!. Happy can be as obvious as silly, parody songs, or just those that already touch you in some way, stirring all manner of emotions!. For Mellow, and focus music, I prefer Classical, but there are contemp!. instrumentals, nature sounds, etc!. , and NO lyrics!.

The musical intruments used, and how they are used, in any piece, pretty much help dictate mood as well!. It might be difficult to get angry listening to Harp or Violin, and as difficult to feel mellow, listening to long drum, or Rock guitar solos!.
