A song I listen to when I’m sad
Wow, this is difficult.
Would I listen to this song, in a state of sadness, to cheer myself up?
Or would I listen to it to wallow in a pit of moroseness?
Well actually the answer is both.
If I felt like it, I would listen to a downbeat song to wallow a little.
And I would listen to an upbeat song to kick my arse out of the mood.
So which of the upbeat and driven songs, or which of the downbeat and mellow songs will I choose?
The downbeat song I listen to when I’m feeling sad is Live With Me by Massive Attack.
My upbeat/driven song is Crawling by Linkin Park.
Wait.
No it’s not.
Not today it isn’t.
Today’s song that I would listen to if I was sad (I’m not) is Leave Me Alone (I’m Lonely) by Pink.
And instead of the original version, try this cover which is being given an airing by a young guitarist with skillz.
Well, I quite liked all of them. Not necessarily for the reasons you stated.
And yes, she has a talent.
I’m perhaps more comfortable with the Pink than the other two. I’ve never really got into Massive Attack which surprises me as it’s the sort of thing I would have done so I must have been obsessing on some other artist. I’d like to think that if I’d have had kids Linkin Park would have been a group I could have shouted at them to turn it down for. Sometimes I sound old, even to me!
