Jims02 7407 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 06-27-07, 01:47 PM (EST) "You're sad and upset!" LAST EDITED ON 06-27-07 AT 01:50 PM (EST) Okay, you probably aren't... But, for the sake of discussion, let's say that you are. Now let's assume that you want to listen to some music now. What kind of music would you choose? Upbeat and peppy stuff? Angry and mournful stuff? How would this apply to other forms of media (TV, movies)? Would you gravitate more toward the lightheated and happy themes or the dark and wistful stuff? I'm not really depressed right now, but this subject has recently come up. In the form of a twenty-minute argument. Many of my friends said that they'd like to crawl into a hole and listen to the darker stuff, but I was completely the opposite. When I'm in a funk, I need upbeat "happy music" to lift my spirits. Songs like Outkast's "Hey Ya" does that trick extremely well. Depressing things only make me want to throw a pity party for myself, which usually lengthens my lousy mood. I don't understand the rationale of listening to depressing music when you're sad or upset. So what do you usually go for? "Dark and angry" or "light and upbeat"? What does it for you? Inquiring minds want to know. It's actually kinda depressing that we had a twenty-minute argument about this subject. I need to listen to some happy music now.   Top

It depends on whether I'm wanting to wallow in my misery or not. I know I'm letting everyone see what a pyscho-b!tch I really am, but sometimes, I need that period of darkness and so I listen to music that keeps me there.   Top

Depending on the circumstance, I definitely see where you're coming from. If a loved one died, for example, happy music wouldn't be my first choice. For normal "bad day" kind of situations, my first priority is usually to get myself in a better mood, which is where the upbeat stuff comes in.   Top

Seana 5044 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 06-27-07, 03:33 PM (EST) 10. "RE: You're sad and upset!" When I'm truly upset, as in over a death, I prefer quiet. I don't like to listen to someone else's thoughts and even just classical music interferes with my own thoughts. If it's just a crappy day, I like to listen to something snappy to help me out of it.   Top

anotherkim 14420 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 06-27-07, 03:52 PM (EST) 13. "RE: You're sad and upset!" i usually go for more upbeat stuff, i think--maroon five, all american rejects, miranda lambert, shakira, pussycat dolls, dixie chicks, gin blossoms. i turn it up LOUD and i sing at the top of my lungs. i am not a crier, so i save the more emotional stuff for when i'm at a more even keel. Kimmah Says --i sing when i'm happy or sad and especially when i'm drunk or pissed off.   Top

Whatever mood I'm in, I like to listen to music that fuels that particular mood. I guess that I figure, "As long as I feel ______, might as well feel really ______."   Top

Max Headroom 10069 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 06-27-07, 04:00 PM (EST) 15. "RE: You're sad and upset!" I have music for brooding. It varies from introspective stuff like PJ Harvey to heavy, electronic stuff like late 70's Tangerine Dream. And there are times (and moods) where only Nine Inch Nails will do.

miamicatt 9247 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 06-28-07, 07:50 PM (EST) 16. "RE: You're sad and upset!" "Sexyback". I simply cannot stay upset if I hear that song.   Top

J Slice 13166 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 06-28-07, 08:06 PM (EST) 17. "RE: You're sad and upset!" Frequently, some of the more melancholy songs of Steely Dan. They're not so sad or down as depressingly clever. Or cleverly depressing. Dark comedy, I suppose. You should really read my crappy blog   Top

cahaya 19891 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 06-28-07, 10:20 PM (EST) 18. "RE: You're sad and upset!" LAST EDITED ON 06-28-07 AT 10:22 PM (EST) I'll usually go with some oldies, songs that remind me of my youth, like Carlos Santana, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Grand Funk Railroad, Iron Butterfly, Jimi Hendrix and more, including old-time blues guitarists (I could make a long list). Often, too, I'll play (electric guitar) instead of listen, letting my play flow with my moods. It's a great outlet. Ragtop Ride by foonermints   Top

syren 5418 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 06-28-07, 10:28 PM (EST) 19. "RE: You're sad and upset!" Marilyn Manson, Lest We Forget, The Best Of... It's mostly covers, and they are good, not dark, however most people never give it or him a chance as the majority of his music is Goth. What?   Top
