Alkaline trio are my break up band, no other band sums up the heart ache any better than the the trio does, check out a song called Fine, that's how I feel most of the time

I'm not sure I have anything specific I listen to but I always see The Cure mentioned.

 

I'm not usually sure whether it is best to give my feelings a voice through music, so listening to sad music, or to listen to something that can change your mood. I guess it depends where you are at.

Well, for me it really depends on the mood. These days im listening to a lot of pick-me-up music ... when i had just been dumped , i listened to a tonne of sad,depressed, emotional music

Think you got it exactly right there - sad music you can relate to in the immediate, then some pick-me-up music (Blur, Gorillaz?) when trying to move on. I tend to still go towards the sad depressed tone of music though but perhaps that is just down to the type of music I like anyway.

I can't listen to ANYTHING sad, I hate when breakup songs play when I'm in a store or on the radio or whatever. I listen to music that's 100% upbeat and not talking about love, which most music does.

Examples of happy songs I listen to:

Slim Gaillard - Potato Chips

Slim Gaillard - Little Red Riding Woods

Slim Gaillard - Groove Juice Jive

Don Redman - Try Getting A Good Night's Sleep

Teddy Wilson - On Treasure Island

Ray Brown Trio - Easy Does It

 

I already feel crappy enough, I don't need to listen to crappy sad music making my day even sadder. I don't know how anyone can listen to heartwrenching music, even if it's relatable. Just brings me down more, to each their own I guess.

 

Also I'm not an overly religious person but some religious songs have a strong message and can be comforting when you feel low like these:

Beckah Shae - Comfort Me

Luminate - Healing In Your Arms

Bread of Stone - Not Alone
