I'm on the hunt for new listening experiences, either new songs to acquire or songs I haven't thought of in awhile. Please suggest songs, any kinds of songs, and feel free to steal people's answers to make your own Raybear Livejournal Mix CD box-set. Thanks in advance.

You know that's not enough space for me! I wanted to add a few more.

Happy:
"But Not Tonight" - Depeche Mode
"Where My Girls At?" - 702
"Oh, What a World!" and "April Fools" - Rufus Wainwright
"What Makes You Happy" - Liz Phair

Pensive:
"Hallelujah" - Leonard Cohen (or any one of the millions of people who covered it, I suppose ... except Sheryl Crow)
"Game of Pricks" - GBV
"Satellite" -Elvis Costello

Oooh, more stuff for my downloading frenzy. Thanks for going the extra mile and leaving a comment.

Well, you know when given questions like this, I could go on forever. I should just make you a four CD set with these themes. (In fact, I think I will, but I'll leave off all the songs I've mentioned in this entry.)

Aslo, I forgot about my favorite love song ever (no pseudo-irony this time): "Here, There and Everywhere" - The Beatles

Other love songs I love:

"If I Fell" - The Beatles
"Imaginary Love" - Rufus Wainwright
"Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me" - Mel Carter
"As We Lay" - Shirley Murdock

And falling into both the Love, Sex and Pensive categories is the entire album Will You Find Me by Ida. (My favorite songs are "Turn Me On" and "Triptych.")

how about pensive/fucking? "Behind the Wheel" by Depeche Mode.

pensive: Gorecki's 3rd Symphony -- the symphony of sorrows

fucking: the entire album of Badu's Mama's Gun, some tracks off Peace Beyond Passion and Cookie also Cassandra Wilson's Travelling Miles

love: "Where You Are" Rashaan Paterson (the shit it hot... he's hot... and family!) Ella doing her thang... Horray for Love and Night in Tunisia are favs...

On the spot, I couldn't think of any love or farkin songs. Hrmph. But as extra suggestions, I reckon you might perhaps enjoy

Cat Power
Melanie Oxley and Chris Abrahams
any consort songs - early music style, featuring abstract viol playing the background and a single voice. I suggest one by William Byrd above, but there are many beautiful ones.

So many good suggestions that I'm picking and stealing like Winona Ryder during a blackout in Neiman Marcus!
