I listen to music when I'm stressed and such. And I'm so excited that it's coming on Christmas music time. I'm going to try and make it till after Thanksgiving before putting it in my CD player but it's so hard.

Same here. When I want to stop feeling whatever I'm feeling.

I don't do well with silence.

Mmm. Actually, reading a good story or watching a movie/show I enjoy works just as well. I think I just need a distraction. To step out of reality for a while.

Those work for me as well but music works the best for me.

I love music a lot too,
It helps keep me calm when I feel anxious, which is actually pretty often. xD

It helps me feel better when I am feeling down.

Yeah, and somehow hearing a sad song when I'm down picks me up. Happy-happy songs just annoy me when I'm down

Sometimes when I'm sad I need happy songs other times sad songs.

I find that my mood often depends on the songs I listen to, so if I feel down and hear a sad song, I feel sad, but if I change it to a happy song I feel happy.

But usually sad songs make me feel happy not because of the content of the song but because of the memories I have associated with the song. Like, there's a song about a breakup that my favorite artist sings, but when I hear it I get happy because I remember how happy I was when I first heard the song and how many awesome memories I have of listening to that song and doing something fun or awesome.

Songs are very potent to memories. As are smells.

Music is a great way to let out my pent-up energy and get yelled at by my momma for running through the house. :D

What a song makes me feel is always very much to do with the song itself and not the circumstances I first heard it.
Of course, I'm more likely to like it if in that circumstance I can relate to it.

Music is an amazing thing. An amazing thing indeed.

Yes music is amazing. I've been on a Fall Out Boy kick lately.

Hey there Otaku.

Fall Out Boy Makes Me Think Of This One Joke Someone Made About People Who Type Like This Why Does Anyone Type Like This And Think It's Totally Okay The Joke Was This Is Not A Fall Out Boy Song Seriously Why Does Anyone Type Like This It's Really Exhausting And Annoying.

Oh Amane you're so silly

Joanna Newsom's new album that I pre-ordered came yesterday and I've been hooked to it ever since!!

I like some of the music they use on the weather section of the podcast Welcome to Night Vale.

It's a CALLING

I agree with you Siren. It's a calling.

If I ever get married this will be my first dance song.
