what do you listen too when your depressed?

[In Search of Username]

I'd like to post some really depressing music here but quite frankly I don't listen to anything when I'm depressed because the depression takes away my interest in everything but whatever I'm upset about.

I listen too old Taking Back Sunday when I get depressed. Cute without the E, Timberwolves of New Jersey ect. They are at their core feel good songs. Either that or it's a really bad depression episode I'll go listen to some MxPx.

Man I love these music threads. I always pick up a couple of songs for my Ipod.
Me, well I'm a fairly upbeat person, but it happens to everyone. I tend to look for something new and upbeat. I prefer doing something like going outside, and just sitting there is good, usually picks me up, also Pokemon games.....
A song so upbeat, it backhands sadness with a leather glove and challenges it to a duel

If there were ever a song that would cheer me up, this would be it. I salute you


This works too though. Calming, and at the end it gives me a surge of power, if that makes sense.

I usually turn own some 90s Gothic Doom Metal and go for a long walk. Strangely relaxing.

If I'm feeling down and want to listen to some music, I'll listen to something that's fairly calming and not overly enthusiastic. Here are a few examples.

I actually find contemplative [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zi8vJ_lMxQI] or morose [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wkof3nPK--Y] songs to help the most when I'm down. Nothing triumphant, up-beat or cheerful for me!

Bleak by Opeth always manages to make the world seem so beautiful to me.


The slightly depressed tone gives you all the sympathy you could want but it has some uplifting parts too, just a very beautiful song really, everything about it is so perfect.

No wonder you're all so depressed with all this miserable crap you've been listening to xD

Something nice and happy:
