Hello everyone. The other day, I was in an "emo mode"(as I read in other discussion), I mean about feeling alone, sad and kind of melancholic, and there are some days I feel like that. In that days, I need to escape from my world, the world that causes my sadness, and what I do is listening to music.
When I'm sad or feeling alone I need listening to hardcore and post hardcore music, just don't know why, but it helps me. So, I was wondering... I am the only one that listens to this music when I'm feeling sad? What kind of music do you listen to when you're sad? Please answer.

I will listen and sing music if ever I feel down, sad and stress.It helps me a lot.I listen to rock music, oldies, love songs or recent musics that we listen in the radio nowadays.

so, all the music for me has the same idea: make to feel better to everyone, but in that moment, i prefer to listen some slow hard rock songs that helps me to forget what is wrong with me in that moment, songs like November Rain, Estranged, Don't Cry, Locomotive , etc from GNR, and like Under the Bridge from Red Hot Chili Peppers, but in that moments i just listen everything that my ipod selects (in random mode), i can say that i support every song that there is in my ipod when i'm sad, but i prefer slow songs to relax me and try to forget the problem.

Hi,
I do not know why that whenever I am sad I do not play any music system or do not listen and songs or whatsoever.
Some people surely find solace in such action.

First of all, music is the most powerful medium known to man. Whatever you musical taste is, there should be something good. I happen to be a music lover - practically all genres.
The music that i prefer is jazz and R&B. A favorite CD that i love is Herbie Hancock: River The Joni Letters. Try it - you might like it. Peace to you.

jazz is what I listen to because of its complexity. it's not predictable like other music. it takes turns and changes you don't anticipate unless you know the song. stuff like miles davis, grover washington, jr., herbic hancock or i will listen to '70s R&B.

Basically when I'm down, I listen to love songs and on some occasions, jazz. Jazz is also my favorite genre. I listen to some korean love songs when I'm feeling down.

Well I don't always like to listen to anything or do anything when I'm sad because I rather be alone in my room and do nothing. But when I do fancy to listen to the music when I'm in that kind of situation, I enjoy listening church song or some happy song. It really depends on my mood because usually I play kind of music based on my mood. Have a nice day

Good question, my answer will be a little bit strange, but effective. I used to watch a few videos on youtube. I will mention those URLs here, I would suggest you to check these URLs especially if you happen to be in "emo mode", these videos and the super stars are out of this world and they will change your mood in a few minutes:

The answer that would be expecting is "Linkin Park". However, the above mentioned videos are also good.

i love listening music, any music. but during my sad moments, i listen classic music coz it can relieve my sadness and sorrows. and sometimes it can makes me cry which i can release those pains in my heart...
