i've actually been listening to a lot of the Smiths, Johnny Cash and Radiohead lately. i wonder, is listening to a lot of depressing music healthy for you? i mean, sure music makes you sad sometimes, but you can't be happy all the time. some of the most beautiful music made is perhaps the most emotional. but doesn't sad music wear on you after a while? i dunno. i guess i may be depressed and not realize it. discuss. |

There's not much music I find depressing. Even when the artist is clearly portraying his/her depressed state of mind, it doesn't rub off onto me. Joy Division I find a bit unforgiving sometimes though... |

depressive music makes me more comfortable with my sadness... but of course, precisely because of that, it makes me less want to get out of it. so of course it's not really "healthy". a bit like taking a dose of a drug will make you feel better if you crave for it, but won't help you curing your addiction. i'm pretty happy right now, and i haven't been listening to depressing music for a while (i just did today but that was for a discovery, and even though the album was good i don't want to listen to it again now). : ) now i wonder: why do you find depressive music more beautiful than the rest? maybe i'm weird about this point, but i personally don't... i like "dreamy" music and stories the best. i've already found some stories/movies to be too sad to be beautiful, and i think i could find some music like that too. |

alex, you make every thread much more enjoyable, and practical. thanks. :D |

of course, when you're depressed you'll be more likely to enjoy depressing music and feel nothing for/be annoyed by happy music... but there is uplifting music too, that makes you feel better when you're sad... maybe it wouldn't be enough for real, deep, depression though. : | |

i dunno i guess it depends on the mood i'm in - when i'm sad i want sad music but when i want beats i want faster music. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
music is all about moods for me... (do you prefer faster music with more beats when you're happy?) |

Is it possible to cheer yourself up using music alone? I mean- whenever I listen to Calypso 1, it never fails to make me happy. There's somthing about it that just exudes "feel-goodness". |
||||||||

i would say that about 80-90% of the music i listen to is "sad" or depressing. even when i'm in a rather good mood i listen to depressing music. my friend doesn't believe in the term "drepressing" or "sad" music. he says your own mood affects the way you interpret the music. |

i don't know honestly. |

|

|

the question here is "how powerful is music, really?" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
...music alone, i don't know. it helps a little bit but there is no magical cure for depression. Calypso 1? whose track is it? |
||||||||
|
|

|

or, "it's not the music but it's the person listening to it" |

depends on mental health. if you wanna listen to sad music all time than probably there is something not too healthy going on. |

thanks : ) - i have already felt especially good, and quite durably, because of music... i don't know if, for example if you had a heartbreak, music alone would make you feel good again but music can definitely cheer you up. i couldn't imagine living without listening to music/without having songs or tunes in my head. |

nps- JMJ is really good I feel at conjuring up emotions within you;(and not just the usual sad, happy, love ones). His epic newagesynth style is quite powerful at times with climaxes and various other musical devices. Yes, I know what you mean. Music has so much "magic" to it, ie. there are so many notes, harmonics, air vibrations you don't here yet you notice when they're not there (im talking ofcourse about digital and analogue version of track). The way music can be used to train a pod of dolphins to react in certain ways. It can make us dance when we doin't want to etc. music is so intrinsically linked to us(as a planet) we couldn't live without it. And then- what is music? I mean how far does one go? I mean how different is ducks squaking in the lake to a choir in a cathedral, when it boils down to it? |

yes, actually. i do prefer lots of drums when in a jolly mood. |

I guess as long as any creation, music or other wise, stays in the realm of fiction it's expression or effect on someone is ok with me, even if pretty fucked up. But entertaining oneself, getting a brief "high" on a particular emotion much like tobasco sauce isn't tasty but "fun" to eat, with real stuff (rotten.com etc) is pretty unhealthy/ and maybe unethical if there is such things as ethics imo. |

emotions .. feelings people like to "feel" in most any way they can |

I think it's fine... you're gonna be depressed some time in your life, music or not. In contrast, there isn't enough music about that makes you feel really good about yourself... it's all just clever or cool or sad. |

yes i agree! they might be giants usually makes me happy, though the song "dead" makes me emotional because i relate to it so well. |
