Happy Music + Sad Lyrics =Bad Therapy?

Tweet

Have you ever listened to a song with music that was so upbeat or peppy and then you listen to the lyrics and you find that it's so depressing? Do you even listen to the vocals? When my dog died, I wanted a good non-depressing song to listen to so I could take my mind off him for a bit, I chose to listen to Mr. Raindrop by Amplified. The music was great and made me feel better but then the lyrics... "....Mr. Raindrop fallin' away from me now Do you know how much you mean to me, why must you leave? I'm just a flower on a tree, why must you leave?" There's more but it just repeats alot. It just made me sad again and think of my dog as Mr. Raindrop. Maybe it's better to listen to music with no lyrics when you're sad just to be safe? What do you all think? Feel free to talk about songs that make you feel better =)
