XNemesisX Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 When you are feeling down, what do you listen to? In particular, when you are down about an ex? My faves are almost anything by Radiohead. In particular, "In Limbo" I don't know if that song is even anything about heartbreak, but for some reason I have been putting that song on repeat here lately. I also like "blue" by A Perfect Circle. So, what do you all listen to? Link to post Share on other sites
Nubemeister Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 anything from rock to pop I like Only Wanted from Mariah Carey and then some Linkin Park or Perfect circle like you've said. Mainly anything heavy.... Mariah carey is for my girly side lol Link to post Share on other sites
opaleye Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 I like 'Displaced' by Azure Ray. It's purdy to sing along to. And I am embarrassed to admit that Avril is good for heart pains. Sometimes anyway. Oh and I like to listen to the Beatles because they have the big range- happy dancey songs to slow sad ballads. Gets ya through all moods. Link to post Share on other sites
LucreziaBorgia Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 When I'm depressed, I tend to feed it with fairly depressing music: Joy Division Silent Hill 2 and 4 soundtracks Travis Pink Floyd: The Wall NIN The Smiths/Morrissey Link to post Share on other sites
iceisles Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 Sometimes I go with depressing music when I'm down, like some of the great love songs from Chicago. Other times, I try and lift my spirits, and the inspirational Journey tunes "I'll Be Alright Without You" and "Girl Can't Help It" do the trick. Music always seems to help, though, just like good friends. Link to post Share on other sites
lilian Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 When I am heartbroken I steer clear off ANY SONG that reminds me of him! Apart from that, anything as usual Link to post Share on other sites
iceisles Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 A friend of mine listens to Elton John's "The Bitch Is Back" after he gets dumped. I think he has adopted it as the theme song for his life. Lol. Link to post Share on other sites
Bronzepen Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 I listen to "Great Gig in the Sky" by Pink Floyd. Album Dark Side of the Moon. The female solo is a perfect representation of how I am feeling when I am down. Link to post Share on other sites

(usually) I also like Mozart's Comic duet "Nun liebes Weibchen" and "Requiem Mass" And Aretha's "Respect" Link to post Share on other sites

Isabella82 Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 When I am down about my ex Linkin Park always helps me. As well as Avril newest CD, I think its about break ups. One that helps me alot is Christina Aguilera's Stronger, and usually anything Techno helps me. BT, Paul Oakenfold. NIN, also Britney Spears song anytime, and also Amy Lee and Seether, Broken. These all help, but sometimes make me more depressed especially anytime and broken, although I feel like I'm not alone in my heart break. Link to post Share on other sites
Spira Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 Yeah, there depressing songs by The Cure, but all in all they really aren't *that* depressing. People just think that because they've been tagged as *the* goth band. They wrote a lot of upbeat stuff too. However, "Letter To Elise" used to break my f*cking heart. Here are some of my favorite sad songs: Thin Lizzy & Gary Moore, "Still In Love With You" Johnette Naoplitano, "Suicide Note" Cat Power, "In This Hole" Sinead O'Conner, "Nothing Compares 2 U" Mazzy Star, "Take Everything" and "Fade Into You" Portishead, "Roads" I'll think of more later.

Yeah I am 49 but hey I love all music! I may be up in age but far from dead! Heh, yes Usher is so young and hip, after all. I have a whole playlist titled "sad" with songs that are either sad or are meant to cheer me up. I almost never listen to this playlist, but it's ready for me to be sad. It's kind of long, but includes songs by: Moby (Play) Otis Redding the Doors beth orton blue rodeo the cowboy junkies sparklehorse wilco cat stevens the flaming lips built to spill rufus wainwright patsy cline soundgarden nick drake radiohead faith no more kate bush john lennon stevie wonder allison krause buck owens al green loretta lynn bessie smith and others.
