I Should Have Followed My Advice to Me - "Do Not Listen To Songs" !

Hi Bro Nope I never feel such thing. I used to listen every kind of songs and I enjoyed all of them, really not take them emotionally. Not only songs, its same for all things. That's how I am. About breaking rules, He he, I had broke many of them which I made for dieting.. and I guess it never ends, I will keep making them and broke them whenever see some delicious.. Ha ha

sids, Whatever made you stopped listening to songs is your choice. I listen to sad songs when I am sad, to help me cry- funny but yes, I need sad song to make me cry. It's been a long time since I last cry and even with sad events- I can't make tears. And I missed crying- I need to cry out loud (I missed it huwahhhhhh ) Breaking my own rule/s? I only know one rule that I usually break- EATING!!!

I know the song that you are listening to. When my ex-boyfriend went to Indonesia I listed to that song all the time. Indonesia is very far from my country and I missed him a lot and wished that he was in Denmark with me. I had just moved into another house and most of my things were still in boxes. The only thing I had in my room was a mattress on the floor, my stereo and a cd with that song... I often break the rules that I make about eating. I love sweet things, and I don't know how many times I have decided to change my eating habits. I eat healthy food a while and then I break my own rules, because I just can't stay away from the sweet things My husband and my friends laugh at me and tease me when I tell them that I going to quit sweet things, because they know many times I have broken my own rules. Some days ago I decided to quit sweets...again and THIS TIME I am going to stick to my own rules (I say that every time )

But I love miserab songs, They felt so good listening too specially if I felt like hanging my neck in a rope or slashing my wrist with a box cutter, I thought I am over about being emo.... You know when you are miserable, it feels grate to lock your self in a room so no one can see, Play a miserable emotional song. Then sing at the top of your lungs until your throat hurt, while jumping in your bed like its a stage and you are doing a concert.... Did I just revealed what i do when I am alone

Hi sids I do listen to sad songs as well once in a while cause they help get tears out of my eyes. You might think that it's silly but sometimes we do need to let it all out. Sometimes when I miss my Dad, I would listen to the songs that he used to listen and then I will think of him and then I cry myself out. After that, it makes me feel better. Don't worry about breaking the rules, dear. It is said that sad tears do help in cleansing out any toxins that is in us rather than happy tears. So, cry whenever you can or whenever you feel like it.

i like listening to sad songs, but you are not the first person i have ever come across who doesn't. its probably about the emotions you don't want to wake up, but it is healthier really to express sadness rather than to bury it. on the subject of rules i have a few very old rules that i didn't even know i had ever made, and some of them are not very good rules, and breaking free from them was a good thing for me. but on the whole i try to be careful about setting rules for myself now, if i were you thesids i would thinking about setting rules that aren't too rigid, and perhaps ones about not being mean to yourself. i know there is phrase in the bible about treating other people as we would treat ourselves, but sometimes we treat ourselves worse than we do other people, so my rule now on rules is don't set rules for yourself that you would not dream of imposing on other people.

Hi thesids, I'm sentimental, and songs with beautiful melodies and menlancholy words will make me weep and the drop of a hat. I'm not always in the mood for a real good cry, so will avoid songs I know will cause me to weep. At other times, perhaps if I'm feeling especially sad about something, I'll have a good wallow. Any song with the title "Wish You Were Here" in the lyrics has the potential to be very sad; such as the famous Pink Floyd song, which always strikes me as being about how people drift apart emotionally, where once they were close. Or become detached from the world, or others. As a song, it seems to encourage multiple interpretations. It may also be more personal; while the "Wish You Were Here" that was originally recorded by Swedish band Rednex, is certainly about one person in particular.

Hi Bhai! The first thing my friend told me when my heart got broken is to Not listen to Any love songs. I didn't restart listening to sad love songs until I was with my new guy. As a child I loved to sing sad songs , even when I was happy! You Have to stay away from the sad songs until you and Bahu are living together again! Promise me, if you ever feel lonely , write me! this is what I'm here for! As your older sister I am suppose to babysit! It would hurt me deeply if you were depressed and you didn't tell me! As for rules, I stopped making new Years Resolutions years ago. What I will do and what I won't do is written across my heart.And nowadays it is changeable. So please do not beat yourself about the sad songs.

i can never advice myself not to listen to music, even the music that i dont like to hear. i am in a band and it is part of our job to play the songs people loves to hear. so no matter if it is a love song that reminds me of pain, songs that makes my teeth ache, songs that makes my head ache, songs that makes me want to puke har har har i have no choice. i got used to it already. it just grows into your nerves even the music that sucks just grows into your nerves once you havea job like mine.

You are not alone..i am very sentimental and some songs just do a number on me and i can tear up in seconds..Last night i was listening to Robin Gibb who is from the Beegees..He is in a coma right now and love the Beegees so not only am i sad for him, but these were songs from my high school days so they had special memories too! I am more proud of a person who can let out their feelings then someone who holds back.. Also very sorry to see a comment here from someone calling you names.. Glad you reported that person..

Hi Sid what is wrong with feeling sad and gloomy? i guess that could make us more sensitive and more humanity i love to listen sad song and it can take me back in time memories keep linger and it is part of our life. try to forget it means try to forget who we are too

There are beats and lyrics of songs that have a grat influence on how you feel. I would recommend you to get a "happy" song and listen to it for a while so that your mood changes. I tend to feel down with gray days. I have a wonderful song that takes me out of the gloomy mood. I listen to it, sing with it and there I am It´s not that you should not listed to a sad song. But don´t listen to it day and night

I think it was Shelly who said our sweetest songs are those that have sadest thoughts. :) Ironically, most of the old numbers I like are sad and slow. This morning I was listening to a song from one of the movies of my ma's era, and somehow the wording just fit exactly with my ma's life, so I couldnt stop me dropping a few tears. I dont feel as sorry for me as I do for her sids. I mean she lived in an era there were few job opportunities, she was not educated enough, her properties were taken away by her maternal aunt, and she was harrassed no end by her maternal aunt's children, series of problems which I would rather not recall. I have done my penance..sort of. For a long time I hated her for leaving me alone in the world. Then, when I learnt more about her life, and how relatives manipulated her life and my pa's life only for their monetary gains, I could only feel sorry for her. I understood that even the five years and a half years that she survived and put up with a lot of pain was because of me and because she loved me. So five and a half years of mourning was due to her. I am just out of that now. I hope someday I will become dispassionate about it, and if there is a god, and he asks me to be the nemesis, I will be able to do whatever it is as honestly as I can and without falling pray to despair that I couldnt do anything about it.

So, you were unnecessarily made sad by that sentimental & melancholic songs, sids. But at least, now you know not to ever listen to them anymore, because that's what i resolve to myself too, many years ago. Actually, i don't listen to sad songs anymore. Even for those gospel songs , i want them to be of happy note, because i don't want that my mood will be altered in a sad way by any song.

I know that music does set my mood. I think about how I want to feel, and so do not listen to the sad songs that make me feel badly. I do sometimes break my own rules about listening to sad or sentimental music, but that would be because I really want to feel sad and sentimental myself for sometime. I know, however, that I can stop it and change it by changing my music and my surroundings.

hi namesake I can relate to this. I cry easily. Just last week my boss sent me some country song(we exchange videos). I don't even normally listen to country but this one got me all choked up. I was holding my grandson who is 14 months. He just leaned up and kissed me ...so so cute. I don't stay sad. It's just a passing momentary thing. Heres a really old one that has never failed to get me.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T3n6GtwtiHs http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cd_Fdly3rX8&feature=related

Oh thesids..I have heard songs before that depressed me so but at the same time, I could not stop wanting to hear them...strange feeling really. I actually do avoid listening to sad songs though for the most part..as a "rule"They do often make me feel down when I hear them. I have a rule that I never date anyone that I work with and several years ago..well...I broke the rule and went out with someone anyway. I was right to have had the rule..LOL. After that, I just promised myself I would never break the rule again.

To "allow" myself to break my own rules what I really do. Listening to "sentimental" or "love songs" have a tendency to help heal a broken heart. I'm a lover of music of most genres; even international traditional music. On other occasions, these slower songs can actually keep you from moving on and depression can be devastating. It all depends on what it is you want the song to accomplish for you, and in what state of mind you are in.

Hi Sids, I normally listen to any kind of music but yes sometimes it happens with me too.In that case you must not listen to that song.As far as rules are concerned i don't make rules for myself but i make it for others and check they stick to them.

Hello thesids, I am a huge fan of Jagjit Singh's ghazals. I don't know what happens to me when I listen to his sad ghazals. Even though if I would be in a happy mood I would start feeling depressed and would find tears rolling down my eyes. There is some strong connection between music and our mood swings, be it sad songs or peppy music. Well, I have never set any rule to not to listen to sad songs because sometimes it feels good to go through some emotional pain. Yes I do set up rules for myself and I do break them. Then being kindhearted I forgive myself and modify them as per my convenience. And again the same thing happens.
