Daniel played the song Happy House by Siouxsie and The Banshees for me and the song Leaf House by Animal Collective immediately popped into my head as the the lyrical counterpoint (main refrain being "This house is saaaaaaad"). And a list was born...Anyway, here are my thoughts on point/counterpoint songs - some are lyrically based, others I just got cheeky with the song titles. Happy listening.
