Why does Fade to Black make me feel better?

Isn't that backwards?

Sad songs seem to be the best cheer up music.


EDIT: Thanks mod!

 

Sad songs help during sad times because i feel a relation to the artist as if im not alone in the given situation.

 

I've heard that "Shared joy is increased, shared pain is lessened."

Music is a powerful way of sharing between the artist and listener.

 

I thought you meant Paint it Black for a sec - my fav RS tune - playing it now just to get my fix.

 

Good points =)

Anyone have any sad songs they like when they're down?

 

Lonely day buy system of a down, whenever I'm down that's the tune.
And, I don't even like the band , at all really.

 

I've listened to this song when someone has passed. Although it has brought tears to my eyes, its a feeling that the person who died is perfectly ok with it. The acceptance of death i guess.

I love the top rated comment, its perfect.
