What kind of music (or the song name) are you listening when you are sad ?

Depends on why I'm sad....

Generally, I like to listen to mellow jazz or light progressive rock when in a quiet mood.....something to take me away.

If you are sad because you and someone just broke up then don't turn music on. There is very few songs that can't be interpreted to make you feel worse.

Depends like everyone else said....

Some country probably. I'm not a huge fan of country, but I'm starting to listen to it a bit.

Rascal Flatts- What Hurts The Most
------------- Here Comes Goodbye

plenty more.

 

Pretty much anything on my playlist. I'm an emo kid...


If you want to be seriously depressed, listen to Promise of Redemption. Its the lead singer of a pop punk band called Valencia. His girlfriend died and pretty much his whole 2 cd's are singing about how much he misses her. Its really really deep stuff thats pretty depressing but its pretty amazing music.

 

Right! Play it backwards until it feels like whatever made you sad didn't happen!

 

Im the opposite. I like to embrace whatever I am feeling, happy or sad, and feel it to its fullest. Life is boring without intense emotional experiences.

Needle and the Damage Done
