I was wondering what are your go to songs you listen to when depressed?
Mine is anything Elton John, particularly Don't let the sun go down, i guess that's why they call it the blues, Rocket man., something about the way you look tonight. Anything Delta Goodrem..Sinead O Connor, nothing compares. All cried out by Allure. Flawless by Delta goodrem, Heavy by Delta Goodrem, Life by Delta, Fragile by Delta. Mistaken Identity by Delta.
I listen to my sad songs, drink and normally cry.
What songs do you listen to depressed?

Dear LJpd81~
It's a good question. I guess I've different sorts for different things. I do know in my own case the music has to match my mood, if it does not, perhaps by trying to be uplifting or cheerful, then it simply makes me feel worse. It empathizes the gap between what is in my mind and the rest of the world.
"Ain't she sweet" or "Via con me" simply does not go with feeling down, while "God's away on business" or "Hell broke Luce" lets me reflect and does not jibe at all
Strangely enough "It's a wonderful world" by Louis Armstrong fits anytime.

My current “go to” music is anything by Celtic Thunder.
And “Perfect” by Ed Sheeran.
I have set my ringtone on my phone to “I would walk 500 miles” (George from Celtic Thunder) and SMS tone to “Perfect”.
Then to round things out my alarm tone is set to “William Tell Overture”. That wakes me up even before it goes off! (Imagine jumping with fright from a peaceful slumber if it does go off lol).
