jmg Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 I listen a lot to an online radio station (Pandora) and have a station that plays James Taylor and similar songs. James Taylor has depression, and at least for me, his music is soothing to my mind. -jimg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RootTilden Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 James Taylor is a great example. I've seen him a bit in personal settings in NY. His voice is soothing. I love his concert persona. Child of the 1960s. I recall when he signed as an Apple artist. He did a benefit concert for the Cathedral Church of St. John the Divine, when it hosted an antinukes demonstration many years ago. The costs of hosting the monks who came from other countries was substantial. He spreads warmth and good feeling. I also fall back on the Beatles. When I am depressed, I like the early Beatles and McCartney's ballads. It is very different than my preferences when I am doing better. The Beatles and James Taylor take me to a time when I felt safer. I perceived myself as safer. I had family support back then. A feeling of community. There were tough times, too. Different than now in challenges. I white knuckled to the Beatles and James Taylor. When I am feeling slightly better, I also listen to Dylan. I am not drawn to the WHO or Stones during times of crisis. Elton John is a good source of music, too. My musical choices reveal where i am in recovery. Oh, to listen to the power chords of the WHO again. I will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthernStar Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 When feeling sad, I prefer to listen to Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds. I love the very black humor so prevalent in several of their songs (like 'Up Jumped The Devil', 'Stagger Lee' and 'The Curse of Millhaven') but, I also find their more delicate and romantic pieces of music (e.g. 'Straight to You' and 'Are You The One That I've Been Waiting For') so soothing.I also love to listen to the 90's Eurodance classics. They're in general very catchy and cheerful, which is ideal when I want to distract myself from my worries. Oh, and an eternal feel-good song of mine is 'Hand In My Pocket' by Alanis Morissette. It always tends to elevate my mood, no matter how sad I have been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roseyssassafras Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 It all depends on the type of music I feel like listening to. I listen to a little bit of everything under the sun. Lately I tend to put on Emilie Autumn when I am feeling down. I found that Sigur Ros really brings out the emotions I feel so sometimes its nice to just bawl my eyes out listening to them when I am sad.

SufferInSilence Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Depends on the level of sadness and what brought me there. If it is the depression then oftentimes Evanescence. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
