What kind of music do you listen to when you are sad?

When I'm sad, upset or thinking to much about something. I play rock music or depressing music, sad emo music. Even though its sad music it helps me with how I'm feeling.

Nice question.... When I feel sad I prefer hearing to rock music..It helps me to feel better and relaxed.. I also prefer listening to some pop songs,to cheer myself up.Its very tough to be happy, and I would like to be happy.Slow music specially classical or sad songs,may put me in a bad mood.Its better to ward off the sadness,when it touches us, through music.It is a good therapy.

Always sad music. Sometimes it makes you really depressed but thats ok becasue you are just sympathising with the problems. I always look for songs that the person is having the same problem. However if I dont listen to really sad music I like bitter punk rock. That usually cheers me up becasue instead of being sad and depressed I can just be bitter.

Usually I listen sad,slow,quite,and lonly songs to comfort myself.Everyone needs these to get some resonance to let themselves feel better.You can express your emotion,you feeling with the sad songs.But sometimes I like to listen to the rock music to shout and shake.In this way I take the sadness of my body.Apart from these,my friend tell me that I should listen to the cheerful music so that I won't be addicted to the sadness. In fact,it depend on your own feeling.

Like the previous person who responded, I enjoy listening to sad and emo-ish sounding music when I'm sad. Specifically, I really feel comforted listening to bands such as 30 Seconds to Mars and Matchbox Twenty. Their songs are depressing and yet powerful and it seems to renew my emotional strength when I listen to their CD's. On the other hand, my girlfriend prefers listening to hard angry metal so I guess different people have different tastes.
