What songs do you listen when you are sad?
 

when you are sad.. or you got the blues.. what songs do you like to listen, to keep sad?

these days I choose
Wish You Were Here - Pink Floyd
Storms - FM
Goddby yellow brick road - Elton J.
Why - Annie Lennox

Tori Amos - Winter
Tori Amos - China
Tori Amos - Baker Baker

I haven't really been "sad" for quite a while...and I try not to dwell on sad times. :shrug:

tori depresses me too ;)

pollyanna :D

i listen to patty griffin.

I'll take that as a compliment.

Actually, when I do hit a "sad" time, I DON'T listen to music, I MAKE music. Playing guitar is VERY cathartic.

i was kidding, i didn't mean it in a bad way ;)

and i missed the last bit of villavic's post - i don't listen to music that'll make me keep feeling bad, i listen to music that comforts me. thus, patty griffin. :woohoo:

I'm incapable of listening to happy and uplifting music when I'm down...so I do listen to music that totally just "fits" my mood. Sarah McLachlan is good for that, Storms is good....I can't really think of any specifics...it totally depends on the degree of sad :p

Red Dirt Girl

ooh, that one's good. that and the pearl and michelangelo.

Lots of Cowboy Junkies and Townes Van Zandt. Two of my favorite artists.

Both have really beautiful sad sad songs in their catalogs. In a way, when I listen to them though, they make me feel better. I'm not sure why, but they do.

The Mac - Angel
The Police - Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic
The Wallflowers - One Headlight
Grateful Dead - Touch Of Grey
Rilo Kiley - The Execution of All Things
Duran Duran - Hungry Like The Wolf
U2 - Where The Streets Have No Name
Pretenders - Night In My Veins

etc

I'm listening to that happy playlist right now actually!

I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing :laugh:

The whole album really. "Bang the Drum" especially.

amen. :nod:

any Tori Amos, but especially Little Earthquakes, and for some reason, Sandy Stewart's Cat Dancer album

When I am down, I listen to old Joni Mitchell and Morrissey. For some insane reason, they make me happy -- and I am over whatever it was that initially made me down. :laugh:

I love the power of music...
