Why Am I listening to such sad sogs on my playlist right now?!...

“Too often we are scared, scared of what we might not be able to do, scared of what people might think if we tried, we let our fears stand in the way of our hopes. Why? There's really no time to be afraid. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain. Everything!

Don't be scared, just look at a happy pic to neutralize the affects while listening to it.

This could be a good general discussion. We could talk about the reasons people enjoy listening to depressive songs.

Dude...am I Mel Gibson or something?

✅ I like listening to some of the older, melancholy songs. For reminiscent reasons I guess... thinking back to certain times when I've been sad and counting my blessings etc.

Good Charlotte? Sad...true.

sad songs are usually quite quiet too....so if we just want to listen to sonething that isnt blaring at us...its ok?

i duno...i tend to have a mix of music on a playlist....

Listen to some Elliott Smith. He's better than anyone else on that list, even though I love the shins and van morrison.

Saw that coming from a mile away.

I think the reason people like sad songs is because it lets them experience strong emotions of sadness, without actually being sad or depressed. Same reason people like horror movies. They can get scared shitless but at the same time have the reassurance that what they are seeing isnt real
