• Gogol Bordello - Last One Goes The Hope

the list is outdated

(one of them, on-repeat)

to regain contact with the "soul":

• Daughter - Human for 20-40min while doing nothing (i.e. get focused on the music)
• Soko - Don't You Touch Me; We Might Be Dead by Tomorrow; Happy Hippie Birthday

TO GET ROUTINE WORK DONE:

A bulletproof song for early spring weather

• Alina Orlova - Vaiduokliai

Normal, a bit sabotagey

• Nina Simone - Feeling Good

Recovery after short-term emotionally exhausting experiences:

• Arvo Pärt - Spiegel im Spiegel
• Eric Satie - Gymnopedies 1-2-3 OR Gnosiennes 4-5-6
• Om Namah Shivaya by I don't know whom (discovered mp3 via twitter)
• Still Corners - Don't Fall in Love

Managing a mild form of a sabotaging urge: (make me passive enough to continue doing the work; are dynamic enough to not slow down the work)

• The Ronettes - Be My Baby
• Birdy - Wings
• Agnes Obel - Aventine (2013) album

To tough up:

• Gogol Bordello - Underdog World Strike

If feeling lowly/needy but still having enough willpower & toughness to be productive:

• Alina Orlova - Sielos Sala
• Alina Orlova - Po Tiltu
• Woodkid - Iron

If needy for tenderness & being in a softie mode but having to do some pragmatic work:

• Alina Orlova - Twinkle Twinkle Little Star (but first: 1h+ off-computer: cook sth and read some fiction)

Quiet warmth with some bitterness, disappointment

• Bebe - Siempre Me Quedara

Overslept & can't seem to wake up completely, but have some client work to do:

• Alina Orlova - Vaiduokliai and then Zeme Sukis Greitai

Gloomy weather, almost normal energy level, client work to be done

• Alina Orlova - Twinkle Twinkle Little Star

When having a strongish pain from an unexpected rejection

• these two kind of match the tonality, but don't inspire work though
  • Daughter - Human -- but isn't a 100% match
  • Agnes Obel - The Curse
