Weirdly often I like to play sad music when I’m happy.

I play most often when sad. I wonder if there is something to this.

Maybe my insights are strongest when down, and your insights are strongest when up?

Does that track with you or am I off

For example when happy I feel I'm more careless and less introspective

I think there is something to that. When I’m happy it’s almost like I’m strong enough to endure sad music or something? When I’m sad I usually listen to angry music (like I want to channel my sadness into anger because anger is more useful than sadness) I’m absolutely just making guesses because I have no true answer. I definitely do feel more creative when sad. Maybe why so many artists, writers and musicians are sad. I definitely think that music can be a tool and a drug to experience new moods and alter our moods and inspire our creativity
 
@PenguinWithNapalm oh I see you listen when in both moods, I didn't catch that. Yeah I tend to do the same actually, angry when more down.

Personally I like to embrace the emotion. And once I do it usually goes away for the time
My personality and emotions are alllll over the place so I listen to all different music in all different emotional states. I’m not the most stable person so my mood can change kind of erratically. I wonder how much of an effect my mental health has on the music I listen to. One of the biggest crimes of my opiate use is that it makes me care less about music which makes me sad. When I’m in withdrawal or drunk is when I listen to the majority of my music. I actually change genres song after song a lot of times because my mood can change so quickly and frequently (I call it music A.D.D.) it can often bother people around me that want to just vibe on one genre so I tend to just play the genre that everyone else wants to play and sprinkle in the songs I like from that genre and then go nuts with my music ADD when I have headphones in.

Same here.. I change the vibe often too, sometimes every song. Not sure why.. maybe because I'm like trying to make up for lost time? Trying to relate to all the emotions I've been feeling since the last time I went on a listening spree?
 
I'm clinically moody so it definitely makes sense for me.

Sometimes I'll vibe with a song that I didn't expect I would and be like holy shit I forgot about this one
Funny you should say that because that actually where I’ve been musically in life. I’m ashamed to say that there was actually like a 2 year period recently in my addiction that I listened to almost no music and in the last few months I’ve kinda been trying to make up for it. I started this playlist of old music that I love and I’m at a little over 300 songs and it’s been absolutely heavenly to listen to them all again. I found a cool way to quickly add music from YouTube to a playlist on my phone so like whenever a song I used to love/play pops into my head I go to YouTube and add it to the playlist
 
We’ve all seen a man at the liquor store beggin for change….the hair on his face is dirty…dreadlocked and full of mange

He asks a man for what he could spare with shame in his eyes. But "get a job you fucking slob!" is all he replied

Well God forbid you ever had to walk a mile in his shoes cause then you really might know what it's like to sing the blues….yeah…then you really might know what it's like

Mary got pregnant from a kid named Tom… he said he was in love!!
He said “don't worry about a thing baby doll… I'm the man you've been dreaming of"!

But three months later….he says he won't date her or return her call
So she sweared “GD…if I find that man I’m cutting off his balls!"

Three months later when she heads for the clinic she gets some static walking through the door.
They call her a killer….they call her a sinner and they call her a whore

But God forbid you ever had to walk a mile in her shoes cause then you really might know what it's like to have to choose… yeah…then you really might know what it's like

I've seen a rich man beg…I've seen a good man sin…I've seen a tough man cry

I've seen a loser win… a sad man grin…I’ve heard an honest man lie

I've seen the good side of bad… the down side of up and everything between

I’ve licked the silver spoon….drank from the golden cup and smoked the finest green

I stroked the fattest dimes at least a couple of times before I broke their heart

You know where it ends…
it usually depends on where you start

Yes I love that phase. I've had a phase like that in adulthood too
 
But actually God does know what it’s like….cause He sent His Son to live as a human so He could be our perfect sacrifice



I go from one extreme to the other lol no wonder I am crazy lol but once I heard it I had to add it cause it’s the truth lol
 
"Carnation"


If you gave me a fresh carnation
I would only crush its tender petals
With me you'll have no escape
And at the same time there'll be nowhere to settle -
I trample down all life in my wake
I eat it up and take the cake
I just avert my eyes to the pain
Of someone's loss helping my gain

If you gave me a dream for my pocket
You'd be plugging in the wrong socket
With me there's no room for the future
With me there's no room with a view at all -
I am out of season all year 'round
Hear machinery roar to my empty sound
Touch my heart and feel winter
Hold my hand and be doomed forever -

If you gave me a fresh carnation
I would only crush its tender petals
With me you'll have no escape
And at the same time there'll be nowhere to settle.
And if you're wondering by now who I am
Look no further than the mirror -
Because I am the Greed and Fear
And every ounce of Hate in you.

(Paul Weller)
Oh shit.. I love this.

Everlast did write some damn good songs
 
i'm binge eating rn (despite not being stoned) and while logging my calories on a google docs i felt the urge to also briefly jot down whatever funny creative writing ideas i had the same day (nothing to do with the food)

Would you believe someone if they casually told you like they think it’s fact the 67 bus in fact a tall skinny Arriva three-decker that goes from [censored, it's too local] and vice versa (on a four-hour long journey into the north that looks like a penis on the map) and most people who get onto it are carbon copy clones of the 67 kid himself and eerily staring out of the window with huge smiles the entire time?
Hypervigilance goggles: the chavvy fat 12 year old kid that gets onto the bus is RQE ified looking. Youre scared he will Scary mary you at any given moment. As painful as the black void itself.
 
Came a last night of sadness
And it was clear she couldn't go on
Then the door was open and the wind appeared
The candles blew and then disappeared
The curtains flew and then he appeared
Saying "Don't be afraid,
Come on, baby"
And she had no fear
And she ran to him
Then they started to fly
They looked backward and said goodbye
She had become like they are
She had taken his hand
She had become like they are
Come on, baby
Don't fear the reaper


Don't Fear the Reaper, Blue Oyster Cult
