song therapy

do you have any songs that you use for "therapy" - I mean to get over angry or sad feelings, or to feel happier?

 

For me, it doesn't really matter too much. Just listening to music in general, and being dorky by playing air guitar , always makes me feel better.

 

Are you asking for suggestions?

 

When I'm really feeling happy but want to experience the bottomless pit of depression, I listen to Carly Simon's That's The Way I've Always Heard It Should Be, perhaps the most depressing song ever written

we listen to a lot of love eternal.. very loving lyrics.. you can't be angry or sad when they are playing

 

If I'm derpressed I listen to Starless by King Crimson, it makes me laugh. Don't know why, it must be like the most depressing song ever

 

Whenever I hear Alannah Myles singing Black Velvet, I get the distinct impression she's singing about me, that she prefers dark meat over light, that she takes her men, like she takes her coffee - black :H

When im feeling bad....any Stevie Wonder song makes me feel instantly better, its like musical crack

 

yes of course

but different songs at different times

at the moment it's beatles

 

the song "no time" worked like that for me.

i've been getting into some ambient/electronic type music for relaxation. not exactly like brian enos "music for airports" to an extend, but stuff like "boards of canada" and "aphex twin" have some really good relaxation like songs. either that or some jazz
