[OT] Best music to listen to when depressed

[LightPhoenix]

Yes, this is an odd question/topic. I'm an audiophile, so sue me Besides, I'm also depressed (naw, really?).

So I'm looking for some good songs to listen to. A couple notes: I'm willing to listen to anything once, but I've found that country, rap, and disco has to be really good for me to listen to it. And I'm not in a techno-type depressed mood

Okay, so I also believe anything can be described music... it IS one of the universal languages.

Personally, if any of you know of Yasunori Mitsuda, if you can get Creid from the CD of the same name, I think it's a powerful piece. Wrote a paper on it in fact

I like Mad season, above, when i'm fealing down.
alice in chains, jar of flies is good to. Can't go wrong with Layne Stayly and crew.

Enya's instrumental songs on all of her albums are usually soothe my savage soul--good stuff if I'm doing homework, feeling blue, or feeling angry and wanting to calm down. On her newest cd, i think the song is A Day Without Rain, and on her first cd, shephard moons, check out Lothlorien. I'm also pretty partial to God Moving Over the Waters by Moby. I can't think of any other songs right now.... wait, yes i can! Try Dead Boy's Poem by Nightwish...might not work for you...i kinda like it though.

Cheer up, fellow poster, lest I sing some Annie for you! (That bloody tomorrow song gets old really damn fast--shall be a long month and a half of rehearsal for this musical...)

I have quite a few suggestions , but I need to know your intent.


Do you want music to wallow in, or music to bring you out of it?

DON'T LISTEN TO RADIOHEAD! You'll put a bullet through your head. If you are an auidophile, the some up-beat music should help you out. Might I suggest cake, or something of the sort. I know you said no to this already, but trance can do you good too. Hope you feel better.

 

[LightPhoenix]

Either wallowing or bringing-out music is good. I could use either right now Besides, I'm likely to need both at varying times in my life.

And yeah, trance has to be pretty good for me to appreciate it. But if you know some good trance, by all means share

I would suggest something classical. It always seems to center me, bring me down if I'm maniac, calm me if I'm angry or make me feel hope if I'm depressed. Try Vivaldi's Four Seasons.

I like sixty's pop music (bubble gum music) when I'm depressed. It's so silly you can't stay sad long

 

[Ristamar]

Lets see.... music to wallow by. *ponder* The aforementioned Radiohead is definitely good. Failure has some nice choices. No Motiv's And The Sadness Prevails... album always hit the spot for me. Most stuff by Heather Nova works, too.

I'll try to think of some others, maybe list a few specific songs, as well...

Paul Oakenfield (sp?) is pretty good trance, same with Orbital. Bublegum rock is a good suggestion.
