What do you listen to when you're sad?
Do you listen to upbeat, happy songs?
Or are you like me where you listen to songs that deepen your sadness, songs that relate to what you're going through or how you feel?

Here are a few I listen to when I'm sad,

Love, Come Save Me- Right Away Great Captain

Anna No- Right Away Great Captain

Hallelujah- Jeff Buckley

Wasted time- Meshell Ndegeocello

Maps (cover) - Arcade Fire

Headlights Look Like Diamonds- Arcade Fire

Yeah there's a lot more where that came from, but I don't want to bore you.

So OT, what do you all listen to when sad?

If I am sad or depressed I try to relate any song to me. 99 bottles of beer on the wall, if one bottle should fall there'll be 98 bottles of beer on the wall... *sigh* ... Story of my life :'(

The Beatles, Radiohead, The Allman Brothers Band, and many other bands.

So basically the same music I always listen to, just feels different when listening to it in a particular mood.

Oh, and I normally listen to upbeat songs. By the way, depressed would not be the word I would use for me. Maybe stressed, exhausted, etc...

I don't understand listening to music in order to coincide with your current mood. Just sounds stupid to be honest.

What are you talking about? Aqueous specifically refers to water, you're not making any sense.

City & Colour. His songs are all sad but some of them have hopeful endings (if you really listen)which make me feel better. His music got me through some tough times.

I don't understand listening to music in order to coincide with your current mood. Just sounds stupid to be honest.KHAndAnime
It enhances the sound of the music, bringing out the texture and timbre of the instruments much more when it fits your current mood. It's why musicians associate terms like "melancholic" and "sad" with certain (minor) scales, etc.

I feel nothing if I'm not in the mood to listen to a certain piece or song. It's why sterile and lifeless music (IE: Brain Drill) is so utterly worthless from a musical standpoint.

EDIT: As for me, I don't really get depressed too often, so I dunno. :P

Aqueous means dissolved in water. My stoicism isn't a liquid, so I need to dissolve it in water to be able to drown myself in it.
