What songs do you listen to when you're depressed?

[Sakura]

I listen to Nobody's Perfect by Hannah Montanna, I know, it's Hannah Montanna ;/ But the lyrics are so inspirational, and I can really relate ^o^
And Unwritten by Natasha Beddingfield, I just love her and the message of the song
And Bad Day by Daniel Powter :]

Well I'm really depressed now so what do you listen to when YOU'RE depressed?

[Leen-Leen]

I don't listen to anything. I eat peanut butter. I don't know why, but peanut butter makes me happy. xD

But don't be sad! :kaocry2:

[Rye]

I WAS JUST LISTENING TO THAT HANNAH MONTANA SONG! WE COULD BE LIKE SOUL MATES OR SOMETHING! :kaoclove:

[Aerith's Knight]

I always listen to the original Aeriths theme or the melodies of life

[Heath]

I suppose it depends. I don't like things with lyrics because if I'm depressed I'll want to try and gather my thoughts and think about it. As such, I'll sometimes retreat and listen to some nice piano or classical music. I often put The Planets on because Jupiter, Bringer of Jollity is good at cheering me up. Game soundtracks would fall into this category as well.

[XxSephirothxX]

Let's talk about this in The Lounge. :monster:

When I'm depressed I usually listen to depressing music so I can wallow.

[Heath]

Perhaps we should all start listening to Green Onions or something when we get depressed. That'd soon chase those blues away.

[Momiji]

J-pop songs tend to get my spirits up. Don't ask me why.

[Boney King]

I write my own song. It's the perfect antidote for me!

[Nominus Experse]

I listen to Nobody's Perfect by Hannah Montanna, I know, it's Hannah Montanna ;/ But the lyrics are so inspirational, and I can really relate ^o^]



I WAS JUST LISTENING TO THAT HANNAH MONTANA SONG!

This made me depressed on its own.

HOW CAN YOU PEOPLE STAND, MUCH LESS ENJOY, THIS ANNOYANCE TO HUMANITY?

[DK]

When I'm depressed I usually listen to depressing music so I can wallow.

Yeah pretty much the same for me. Listening to cheery music doesn't do much for me, I like to listen to music that goes with my mood. :monster:

[El Bandito]

If I'm in a super funk, I like to listen to blues guitar, opera or Russian classical music (mussorgsky or shastakovich mostly). But if you're asking for songs when I'm sad to make me happy then...

TWEE!

I'm From Barcelona, earlier Architecture in Helsinki, and Boy Least Likely To are the more modern/awesome bands that come to mind.

It's the musical equivalent of unicorn lollipops.

[Cz]

I'm another who wallows in misery. I've got a playlist of sad songs for when I'm feeling down. My music mirrors my mood, rather than the other way around.

[Captain Maxx Power]

I always listen to music and I'm perpetually depressed, so I guess everything I listen to really.

[escobert]

Anything that makes me want to kill people.

I actualy have a had time finding music I like while sad or depressed. Nothing ever seems to fit my mood then.

[Vermachtnis]

I don't stay depressed long enough to make through one song. If I even feel like I'm starting to get sad I think of fun things and it goes away :D

[Breine]

It really depends on a whole lot of stuff. Many times when I'm depressed I don't even listen to any music, but just lie in bed an feel bad for myself :)

But, if I'm really sad and just need to let it all out I usually put on some Antony and the Johnsons. Listening to their music has made me cry some times now. Antony is just such a beautiful singer.

[KaintheDragoon80]

I usually listen to brutal death metal when I'm feeling down or angry.
Emotional songs are just going to make you feel worse, I suppose.

[Avarice-ness]

I usually listen to something that will make me even sadder.

Then I'll change it to angry metal and end up in a great mood. :D

[Mirage]

As long as you listen to happy and/or inspiring songs, all is well.

[rubah]

Damien Rice.

[Rianoa]

evanescence-lithium apart from it makes me suicidle

YouTube - Evanescence - Lithium Music Video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DGrD3ECzqAg)

[Polaris]

J-rock songs or rock songs half punk ^^

[Rianoa]

[I Am Stoner]

Oasis - Stop Crying Your Heart Out

Red Hot Chilli's - Other side

The Eagles - Hotel California


loads of others, those are the ones just off the top of my head.

[BardTard]

Anything by Evanescence.

[Project G]

When I'm really really down, usually Adagio for Strings by Samuel Berber comes on (If you don't know it, it's the song from Platoon, if you haven't seen that film, go see it!)

[Sergeant Hartman]

:love:

I like to listen to Clubbed to Death by Rob Dougan from the Matrix soundtrack. The piano bit in there is awesome.

[I Don't Need A Name]

i usually listen to even more depressing songs
if i dont feel like staying depressed, then either New Found Glory or Metal :D

[Araciel]

MC Hammer.

No matter how bad my life is, odds are it's better than his.

[Bloodline666]

Well, since I listen to only one form of music, I listen to the same stuff regardless of whether I'm drunk, depressed, super happy, or p'ed off.

As for songs I listen to when I'm depressed, I'd have to go with Pantera's "Cemetery Gates", or perhaps Slayer's "Seasons In The Abyss", or maybe even Megadeth's "In My Darkest Hour", or perhaps Forbidden's "Chalice Of Blood".

[Quindiana Jones]

Depends what kind of depressed I am. Can't go wrong with the one and only half decent U2 song (http://youtube.com/watch?v=cww89NK1Yao).

[Seraphic]

Creep - Radiohead

Foolish Games - Jewel

Me & The Minibar - The Dresden Dolls

<33

[Yar]

No Doubt. You can't be sad listening to their upbeat stuff.

[scrumpleberry]

Anything that isn't hyperactively happy. It just doesn't work. Happy songs normally make me sadder. Oh, with the exception of "Don't Worry, Be Happy." I like that no matter what my mood is.

[NeoCracker]

Wow, I'm not the only one who thinks Evanesence is great for when you are in a bad mood.

Other good ones are Goo Goo Dolls and Red Hot Chilli Peppors. (Specifically Otherside, great stuff that Otherside)

[Sarc the Swordsman]

I usually listen to either of these two songs, they're my favourite. >_>

My Favourite Game - The Cardigans

or

Ironic - Alanis Morissette

[Gilghamut]

Sometimes I listen to Jerry Cantrell, mostly his songs off his Degridation Trip album since it's the only one of his I own. Some of his songs are a blend of rock and blues.

Other times I listen to Godsmack just to beat the ever living crap outta the depressed mood.

[Rianoa]

Wow, I'm not the only one who thinks Evanesence is great for when you are in a bad mood.

nope its very good to listen to when your depressed

[Montoya]

I listen to an album: The Burning Halo by Draconian. If you're not depressed, it'll make you. :p

[smittenkitten]

Build me up Buttercup by Foundations comes to mind. I have a whole playist with happy songs. My sad songs is "Dear Catherine" by Gabriel Yard, I love that piece it sounds so sad. "Dry Your Eyes Mate" by the Streets. :)

[Momiji]

J-pop songs tend to get my spirits up. Don't ask me why.

Oh, and Motion City Soundtrack makes me happy when I'm down. Ironic, but true.

[Jessweeee♪]

Either broody evil castle-ish piano/organ music to fit the mood, or something really fast to lift me up :p

[Shoeberto]

Depends what kind of depressed I am.
Same.

[Caraliz]

Trip'grd with Hsu and Quin.

If it's over a boy, then Brand New usually. Or Bright Eyes. Brand New is more for angriness. ;p

[Balzac]

Robbie Robb - In Time.

[The Unknown Guru]

I listen to the pillows. (They're a Japanese band.) Seriously, if you're listening to the pillows, then no trace of despair can get within 3 feet of you. If I'm listening to them on my ipod, emos will actually be shoved away by the force field of happiness.

[Bashini]

Pink Floyd or Evanescence

If I am really pissed & depressed One-Winged Angel, "The Point of No Return" and/or Serj.

[Tama2]

NIN, Danzig, Misfits, Nekromantix, Pink Floyd, Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, etc...

Things of that assortment.

*Listens to Madvillain*

[DMKA]

Baby Got Back

[Momiji]

Old thread is old.

However, I listen to IOSYS nowadays and it keeps me in pretty good spirits despite my mood. :)

[Roxxas]

I listen to the banana phone song on a really fast speed. Pretty much impossible to stay sad then. Really I dare you to try.

[Spawn of Sephiroth]

Every time I get depressed, its in with Fall Out Boy, lights go off as well as my phone.

[Relapse]

system of a down stuff, mainly, since they're so eccentric and noisy.
