Sad Songs...

[FallenStar]

First, let me state unequivocally that this is not because I'm trying to be emo. This is a honest question and nothing more.


Okay, now that we got that bullshit out of the way...


What do you like to listen to when you're... well... feeling sad for... you know... whatever reason? Like, maybe you got dumped by your biggest crush... or a family member has died or something...

What do you listen to while you're laying around, feeling sad... to help you grieve during those moments?


I can only tell you that I listen to certain tracks of Final Fantasy music (being that my knowledge of other songs is rather limited and those are mostly upbeat 80's hits xD



FallenStar

[Phatman_Dover]

Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd.

Gets me every time.

When I'm feeling depressed I usually put on some Placebo, but I also listen to that to go to sleep at night...I dunno.

[Neil]

when I'm sad, I would listen to sad songs and would feel really depressed.. huhuhu, weird, isn't it?
however, after that, I would cheer myself and will find a solution. Then, I will listen to hot-blooded songs to recover my spirit..

so, basically, I'm listening to two different songs when I'm sad.

[Videl1201]

It's indeed strange how listening to sad music actually can help you feel better.

At those moments I often listen to music by Tindersticks (doesn't matter which song or album, they're all very depressing :)). Somehow that usually does the trick.

[D_guy10]

I mostly listen to classical music when I'm down. Vivaldi, Bach, maybe a little Strauss.

After many years, Blink-182's "Adam's Song" can still get me down if I let it. Also "The Lonely Sheppard" (the song that plays at the end of "Kill Bill vol. 1")

evanescence - bring me to life =) very good soonn

[EFROdian]

Basically anything from the album "Fallen" by Evanessence, especially "My Immortal"  That song gets me everytime, even when I'm in a very good mood.

[Whizard]

I guess it depends

some times ill listen to various songs by chopin

Chopin's Nocturne #20 in C# minor is great.

I almost exclusively listen to sad songs, but of course, "all songs are sad, but some are more sad than others".
Crossfade - Cold (heavy rock)
Abandoned Pools - The remedy (rock)
Jay Jay Johanson - The Girl I Know Is Gone (triphop/electronic but still good)

[Igotseven]

I would listen to anything thats fast going and loud when I`m down. Btw I like Ouran high host club too :P

[Whizard]

Try Sufjan Stevens - John Wayne Gacy, Jr.

[Loki275]

Can't believe I'm the first to post this song. MAD World by Gary Jules.

[GN54]

Anything sung by Miku cheers me up. I don't know why, the voice is just so mesmerizing and calm.
