As humans, we experience an array of different moods on a daily basis. We can go from being ecstatic to agitated in the matter of 30 minutes. And if you're like me, then you love listening to music no matter what kind of mood you're in.

Below is a list of 11 moods and 11 matching songs -- ranging from music by Frank Sinatra to Matt and Kim. Take a look!
