What do you listen to when you're sad /mu/?
sometimes sad love songs
sometimes happy love songs
Whatever I normally listen to.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4zLfCnGVeL4
Never gets old
something cathartic, just anything in line with how I'm feeling. When I'm feeling really shitty I usually indulge in junk food and get comfy to movies/gaymes, don't do the junkfood thing unless you have a good metabolism though atleast not regularly
Xiu Xiu
I usually don't, I just cry.
>>61901681
It may sound stupid but I listen to this when I get sad.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6NXnxTNIWkc
>>61901757
lol faggot
>>61901757
It's honestly hard to cry, I only cry once a year usually. I know it's crying is healthy, but it's just not how I function instead I replace crying with depressing music to get my feelings out
>>61901770
Same anon, same.
>>61901737
This. Nine Inch Nails usually helps me purge the edginess from my system
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pXHTgeP4uKo
This the past few days. Can't get enough of it, and it makes me feel at ease.
>>61901843
I like all the NIN posting going on here lately :^)
>>61901681
Some new music. It gets my mind on analyzing it and off what I'm sad about. It also just feels good to listen to new music for me, most of the time.
>>61901681
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vt1Pwfnh5pc
>>61901681
I listen to my own breathing because there's nothing more depressing than the constant reminder that I'm still alive
>>61901888
And nothing more satisfying than checking them trips
Also, sometimes I listen to something hilarious, like this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6pWeDktIxLk
>>61901888
deep as your moms pussy
>>61901886
I love this song, but it's almost like you have to watch the video every time you listen to it because it adds so much.
Here's some random artists I pulled out of my sad playlist.
City and Colour
Emancipator
Drake
The Deep Dark Woods
La Dispute
Jon and Roy
Trespassers William
Kid Cudi
Son House
I'm not sure what you're into, but I'm sure theres something in this list you'd find appropriate. Or you can call me a pleb
>>61901807
You and me both friend. Crying is real hard for me these days. I mean full on crying through, not teary/misty eyed single drop type crying. It's easier to close yourself off.
>>61901968
The video is what makes it more than a cover for me. Johnny Cash made that song his.
>that picture of his wife
minimal man
giles corey
slowdive
>>61902002
The last time I cried was embaressing, I broke down in front of my family and punched through a container thing
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZoQ0nGTUTU0
The Jim Yoshii Pile-Up is pretty nice to listen to when I feel terrible. Just the guitar tones, the slight twinkling in their sound, and the sentimental singing of Paul Gonzenbach.
>>61901737
I'll still do the junk food thing to an extent. I'll eat funyons while eating a salad and listen to John tavener when i want to kill myself
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=clAJ8mufzJ0
>>61902157
I usually get these boxes of choclate cookies and eat them all while self loathing. They're good though
>>61902091
That's one of the problems of holding your strong emotions inwards. One day is just all hits you like a wave of reality. I think if you can't be open and accepting of your emotions, you at least need an outlet of some sort to help deal with them.
Also, my pick is Carissa's Wierd.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pYWhxVWqJl0
>>61901980
I'd like to hear that playlist, I like playlists.
>>61902068
you know how to be sad
>>61902255
I do repress myself a lot, mostly because I don't trust my friends or family enough to open up to them, when I have it never really ends up well.
I remember listening to this with my sister before she killed herself.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XUym7n7fJTQ
https://youtu.be/9yE2P2NWb_0
Cant handle this
>>61902666

U wot, m8?
Taylor Swift
>>61902952
>he hasn't listened to the leak yet
i'm sad all the time, so everything I listen to
go to wallowing-core is nick drake
>>61901681
Yo La Tengo in general is great for this. Especially They Shoot, We Score and the new one (Stuff Like That There).
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FhkiadQeX80
50s Teen Tragedy songs.
I listen to sad stuff by default, but when I'm really down I listen to Giles Corey and HANL.
However, when I get into an existential shame mood, I listen to Bird Seed and Death Grips.
>>61901681
Arab strap or sparklehorse
>>61903092
check out planning for burial if you've not already
i'm always existentially curious. i listen to a lot of true crime stories. stuff like bird seed and buyer's market kind of grab me. we're pretty likeminded.
>>61902952
do you want me to upload it?
>>61903344
I have checked them out, and they seem interesting, but I don't have a lot of energy to listen to new music often.
Also I'm not sure what you mean by existentially curious, but I listen to Bird Seed so I have someone screaming in my ear to take my mind off things.
When I was rejected by my biggest crush and friend that was a girl in High School I spent a month in my room just listening to Giles Corey.
Good fucking times
>>61903636
>that was a girl in highschool
Your crush was a preFtM?
https://youtu.be/VdMM-CrPNxg
Every time
>>61903665
yes, have a problem with that bigot?
>>61903681
Depends. Does he have a masculine vulva?
Nothing.
If you can still feel sadness, you haven't really felt true sadness.
>>61903717
How would I know, I was rejected.
I don't usually get sad I get depressed and everything feels super slow. Ambient 4: On Land is usually the only thing that I can listen to when I'm feeling like that.
>>61903737
Ambient 4 is legitametly a relaxing album. I usually listen too it when I start getting drowed in parania and mental noise, really eases me up
>>61903783
It's a personal top 5 album all time.
John Cage
4'33"
On repeat.
Here's my chart desu. I'm sad 95% (+/-4%) of the time.
>>61903843
bretty good chart
>>61903092
HANL while sad is brutal. thats some suicide tier shit
>>61901867
same here :)
>singlehandedly set up 90% of the recent NIN threads
>oops did I say that aloud?
;)
>>61903843
How do I make a chart like this
>>61903944
shut up, Trent, we all know it's you spreading hype for your upcoming album
>>61903544
Y-yes please.
>>61903960
Photoshop
FEAR FACTORY
THE CNK
STERILIZER
IPERYT
SADNESS IS UNHEALTHY
CHANNEL IT INTO ANGER
>>61903544
Nobody will ever love you, we all hate you so don't even try to leak it because we won't be greatful you little shit
>>61903963
This makes me laugh a crazy amount because I'm literally not Trent, I'm just a massive fan who can't stop talking about NIN.
Oh btw songs for the thread? A Warm Place, Hurt (the NIN version), La Mer, and Blown A Wish from Loveless
>>61903996
Anger is repressed sorrow
John Frusciante, usually. Even though the music is kinda sad, it cheers me up
>>61904005
For really feely feels, "all there could have been", that one really takes me back and gives me goosebumps
Tom Waits when I want to cry or wallow
R.E.M. when I want to pick myself up and start feeling better
>>61903882
Thanks senpai, I'm sure you have better taste than me though
>>61903960
Topsters!
I don't want to post without a contribution to the thread so, here's another album for sad times: Circle Thinking by i hate sex.
>>61904018
No, anger is what happens when people realize that wallowing in sadness is for pussies. Anger is the preferable alternative to sorrow.
Because yes, there's such a thing as pussies. They can be recognized by their fetishistic overuse of the "that feel when" meme.
>>61904097
It's really the other way around, anger is just dread with energy, once you use up the energy all you're left with is the cold hard truth, the true path is love for the self and only then can you truley love others and have them love you back.
>>61904070
Yeaaaah. Oh man now I'm gonna go stare at a wall, you got the tune in my head :(
noise and atonal music, played really loud
>>61904154
Boy you must feel really cool spouting that pseudo-existentialist nonsense. I bet it goes really well with that coffee and cigarettes diet you've got going on huh?
Here's the cold hard truth: sadness as an emotion is power you unlock by turning it into anger.
Sadness as a state of mind is a choice you make because it seems easier and more glamorous to you. Because you're afraid of the consequences of getting angry, (i.e. being called "edgy" by meanies on the internet) you choose to remain sad.
The truth is that as long as you keep being sad, you deserve it, because you're doing it to yourself.
>>61904239
Being afraid of meloncholy and introspection is a weakness, being an angry grunt is weakness too
i have tons of stuff in my library that i have yet to listen to. when i'm really depressed i usually just shuffle the entire thing. the sense of wonder it conveys tends to calm me and it's 100x better when I'm drunk or under the influence of something else
>>61904154
>the true path is love for the self and only then can you truley love others and have them love you back.
thanks rupaul
>>61902255
Recommending
I listen to this album a lot when I'm sad, it actually has a member from Carissa's Weird
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ByefGtfYwZ0
Also good:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LLKw_Vslfeg
>>61904070
>artist's best song is a one-off
>it's nestled between a whole bunch of comfy winter OST instrumentals and God-tier unplugged/alternate versions
the best thing about Still is that in a hundred years it's going to hold up as an introduction in either direction of his music to Trent Reznor
any one of these, on repeat
>>61901681
Venetian Snares or The Front Bottoms
im trying to find this album right now. all i can remember is it had the word girlfriend or girl in it, it was lo fi for sure, and i think the cover was an old photograph or maybe black and white of a girl or a swing or something.
i probably just described like 100 different albums but fuck i really need to find it. it might have also had the words death, suicide, murder, kill, or witch or something related to these words.
>>61904005
La Mer is always good, no matter how you feel
>>61902255
This happened to me. I was watching a movie with my girlfriend and after I asked if she liked it and she said it was boring. That broke the wall and i started to ball. It had nothing to do with her not liking the movie, I couldn't care less. I'be been struggling with some depression and I guess that broke it and I cried.
>>61906055
>playlists
normie detected
>>61906112
do you mean World's end girlfriend?
>>61906181
no but it looks cool so il check it out still. it was a photograph for sure.
>>61906178
Tbqfh family, I find playlists weird. Not that poster, but whenever I have a playlist it sounds weird as fuck listening to music outside of it's album. Maybe I should learn to use playlists more, but I'm so used to listening entire albums.
>>61906219
Nah don't bother family.
>>61906178
i don't listen to it (or the other ones) as playlists, i just use them for sorting.
>>61906228
Sorting for what?
>>61906227
I just personally feel like it takes away from the theme of whatever album I'm listening to by putting it in a playlist.
By coincidence, today, I created a huge hip hop playlist. Although I enjoyed the music, it felt weird hearing so many songs outside of their album form.
>>61906242
so i can find those songs easily if i want to listen to them; if i'm sad, i just open the sad playlist, pick a song, and listen to it over and over. i don't have to dig for a certain song. plus then i can post it in threads like this.
slit your wrists while you listen to Joe Budden
>>61906243
not him. i listen to my music on shuffle sometimes, like all of it. i listen to the full albums too sometimes though. the neat thing is that you can get a really big appreciation for a track by itself when you hear it out of place. cause while it was a part of something bigger, when you hear it just alone it can really start to stand out more as a highlight when you go back and listen to full album
but thats just me desu.
>>61906267
i'd slit my wrists if i had to suffer through a joe booty song too
>>61906274
I completely understand where you're coming from. This has kind of given me a new perspective on it. I need to create more playlists. Its a shame a lot of my music is from so many different genres, so it'd be a struggle trying to put some of it together. Shuffling might be a good idea though.
>>61906242
Our daddy told us not to be ashamed of our dicks, especially since they're such good size and all.
>>61906264
Wouldn't you rather listen to an album that embodies that emotion, rather than a bunch of random music from different composers?
>>61906243
Same here. I use to listen to half albums and singles and shuffle full albums. Never though anything of it, then on a road trip when I played an album and they realized I was shuffling, they told me it sounds better if I play it from 1-10 or whatever and not shuffled. They did that and I saw the difference in how I saw the album and have done that ever since.
>>61906318
A lot of albums are following in some kind of chronological order too. For the most part anyway.
With the hip hop playlist I created, a lot of it felt like it made no sense outside of the context of the album, even though some of them were the singles off the album.
>>61906318
Relax.
>>61906274
I feel like some albums can't ever be played but all at once. Others can, But GY!BE can really only be played all at once. But others can be played singled out and it's fine. It's just how it was written I guess.
I usually listen to metal or top 40 if I'm sad. They both can help me get over it in their own way.
>>61906343
I'm not arguing, just talking. I'm interested in how people look at music and albums and whatnot.
>>61906318
I listened to full albums as well but it never clicked with me like it did you. Maybe it has to do with people listening for mood vs people listening for theme? Or maybe stability of mood as well?
I still always listen to albums once or twice first go and revisit them in full but otherwise not so much.
masturbation will turn a sad song into a happy song too. I've tried it with Joe Budden songs several times
>>61906359
No I meant relax about the way you listen to your music. 95% of it does make sense outside of the context of the album.
>>61906376
I dunno, I guess it clicked in that sense of theme and how it made me feel as a whole. I guess a big downside to listening to full albums is that sometimes you have to commit, especially if they're long, or i'm not 100% in the mood of the album. playlists and singles can be different in that regard
>>61906394
How so? I've always felt kinda uptight about listening to music which i shouldn't by any means
https://clyp.it/isexzl4l
>listening to sad music when you're sad
>listening to angry music when you're angry
>>61906422
I get how you feel mate. Maybe we're both stressing out too much about it. Not that I feel stressed or anything.
I'm feeling pretty happy right now listening to an album right through.
>>61906436
how can you listen to anything else and not feel like the cheesiest fucker around.
>in tears
>I LOVE SUMMER YEAH. HOT BEATS. LOVE AND STUFF
id probably just cry even harder.
>>61906463
Yeah I get lost in albums. It might be my friends and how they act. They kinda showed me a lot of music and that stemmed me into finding my own stuff, and partly /mu/ in some regards. I shouldn't care though. but in the back of my mind it kinda nags at me.
>>61906489
I never even think about it. I'm listening to Graduation right now and I have no issue listening to it from start to finish. Every album musically follows a theme. The way the entire thing sounds. They follow each other in someway shape or form.
>>61906318
sometimes, but it's not a bunch of random music from random composers. i generally just listen to one song from the list on repeat, for a long time.
>>61906510
I'm listening to Skinny Fists right now, because it fits my mood. Lately I haven't had a problem listening to stuff. I just get lost and let it do it's thing. It's interesting how the music follows a theme, not matter what it is.
Joanna Newsom and Pet Sounds.
>>61902255
Crying also hard for me too, but last time a friend of mine broke my heart and I cried at home fuckin two days. It was first for me. Uhh
>>61906436
>not listening to music according to mood
The whole album pretty much but this song just soothes me.
