What gets you through the dpressing times?

I am always listening to music, and I have different things I listen too in different moods. Anyway, it has been tough the last couple weeks, lost my fiance and some other shit. I have found that really depressing music helps me feel better. It is weird. It used to be that I listened to punk when I was down. Now, I am listening to really slow or depressing stuff, and I am comforatble wallowing in my feelings for a while, and when I go on through the day, I feel better in general. I am currently listening to the new cure cd, a bunch of emo stuff, some beatles tunes like Let it be, Hey Jude, shit like that, and mostly older slow stuff about heartbreak and whatnot. What do you like when you are depressed?

 

Bob Dylan and lots and lots and lots of Beatles... I play "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" again and again... in the last three days I've played the song at least 10 times. Whatever you do, don't listen to country music... it makes things worse.

Well, I wish you good luck with your life and I hope you feel good! Happy listening and hang in there!

 

Oh yeah, forgot to mention Dylan. He makes me feel better immediately for some reason.

 

it must be his amazing talent for poetry! or maybe it's just his funny voice.... actually, his voice is comforting in a strange way...

ah, the joys of sweet music.

 

Wilco has gotten me through many a sad night.

 

I always return to the basics. There is something about the mournful and hopeful tunes of PinkFloyd that satisfies my misery and coaxes out the lighter side. Or I cry until even I think I'm getting pathetic : )



Life and Love

 

Cheap booze and women. Duh!

 

Deftones. I'd be lost without them.

 

Van Morrison. His music brings me up....even the somewhat sad songs.

 

Try Blood on the Tracks.

 

Bruce Springsteen!

 

any live shows of Phish, the dead, Keller willaims, and of em help me feel better, ecspecially the really trippy jammed out parts...

 

I totally forgot about MARLEY, hes the best when your down, all his songs have such a positive energy...



NO WOMEN, NO CRY...

 

oh, I feel dumb for forgetting that one! Bob Marley kept me happy this school year...

One love... One heart...

I am so thankful I have music!

 

Sould Asylum saved my life along with the Beatles "White Album" and a little Blind Melon when I was in middle school. Sublime and Bad Company keep me going now!! I have become quite obsessed with Bad Company in the last few months.

 

i usually listen to bright eyes... or silverstein... emery.. jawbreaker... uh.. promise ring sumtimes... s unny day real estate... death cab 4 cutie.

 

"Asleep" by the Smiths

"Never is a Promise" Fiona Apple
"Ruby Tuesday" the stones.

 

bob dylan and john lennon.

 

haha i liked the cheap booze and woman strategy, ill be trying that sometime....

in the past tho, nine inch nails has been awesome, trent is like a musical father at needed times. bob marley, classic rock,maybe some tool, and definately some REALLY REALLY tripped out electronic/ambient stuff. shit from another planet.
I also feel good after spending lots of time on making some electronic music .

 

well the stereophonics were the first ever rock band that i loved,this was when i was 9 or 10 that i started listening to them, and they mean a lot to me because of that. They always make me feel better

Peace and love
