Sad Songs

I do like me a good melancholy tune. Excessively sentimental styles/lyrics seriously put me off (and it's rare that I find music which strikes a balance), but songs with wistful tones are, to me, very powerful.

I really dig Pink Floyd and Radiohead, but generally I don't listen to bands which primarily produce songs focused around negative emotion.

I can't decide which of the two DT songs I've been listening to lately to post, so here's the one about the pain of creative block (not knowing how to start on a project)

Have to agree. When younger I would listen to depressing songs and feel worse than I already did. Then I began to think, if sad songs can make me feel worse, listening to them means I WANT to feel worse. I simply dont. Every now and then I catch myself listening to depressing music and have to remind myself it serves no benefit to me.

Though thinking of it now I suppose there is benefit in knowing you are not the only one who can feel badly about something. Just as it is a benefit to know that only a few weeks ago I believed I was alone in some of my perspective of the world. I now know I am not and this strangely makes me feel more at ease.

Oh man I used to do the same thing when I was a kid.

I would gravitate towards sad songs. I have to make a conscious effort to avoid them. It's not healthy.

I think that they tell us that we are not the only one feeling that way....we are not alone in any sadness we might carry around.
For an empathetic person I suppose it could be detrimental if one could not separate themselves from it.
 
This is not your typical "sad song"....it has anger and longing, it has redemption too....

Since my mascara is already running....why not listen to Vincent by Don McLean.
