Describe the mood of the above posters chord progression

[aeon135]

heres a game: Describe the mood of the above posters chord progression in roman numerals, cpaital letters for a major, small for minor

for example, I say

I - vi - IV - V (in my case, D# major, C minor, G# major, A# major)

You go to your piano and try it out, what mood is it?

It's the Bloody Ice Cream Chords progression, found in most of the 50's and 60's Pop music.

It's cheesy and schmaltzy... There - I said it.

I couldn't agree more,

this is a favorite:
i - v - II - v

OR
C minor G minor D major G minor.

I usually play it with a big loud far left ocatve at the start of each chord, Rachmanioff style.

My absolute favourite... see if you can guess where it's from.

Dm    C   F   C   Gm   Dm Edim Dm/F Gm Dm/A   A    Dm

this is pretty nice but I don't recognise it, I'm fiddling aorund with adding a right hand to it.

I think it reminds me of waiting, waiting for a train, but I'm playing it my own way.

This is pretty overused but if it weren't it might well be the best two chords I know of.

Fm C (or Cm G)

and the mood is almost the opposite when it's C Fm

That is a nice one perfect_pitch; may I ask however if the D/A 3 chords from the end should be Dm/A?  It seems like a cadential 6/4, but the DM is rather sudden!  There are certainly other ways of interpreting it if D/A is indeed the intention, but just thought I'd ask

Oooooooops... Yes - It should be Dm/A. My apologies. I wrote it down in seconds and just spewed the chords out without thinking through it.

No worries!  I get a sense of 'determination' or something along those lines with the move from minor to major.  Also, the rising tension of the later half of the progression.
Still no idea where it's from, aha.  I hope it's nothing too obvious!

Definitely a happy chord progression.

How about mine?
Em9 Eb7-#5 Dm9 G9-13, and of course that resolves to C (or C9-13). I stumbled upon it while playing random chords.
