But probably my favorite music, believe it or not, is sad music.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
It's not like I force myself to think of sad things, but... it's more that I make music because it makes me happy.
I love sad songs. They say so much. I love country music but even the happy songs sound really sad.
It's fun to sing sad songs. And it's fun to listen to sad songs. Enjoyable. Satisfying. Something.
I don't think of my songs as sad songs. I think of them as vulnerable and honest. I crack jokes in between songs, so people don't leave feeling too dark.
Sad music, I always thought, is more beautiful than other music. But at the same time, I am in my personal life a very happy guy. I have a sense of humor. I am not the kind of depressed guy all the time brooding. No. I am very enthusiastic about things.
I think I drift toward sad love songs.
Music is an emotion, and I put it out there.
Music is how you feel.
And for some reason, when I'm sad, I do listen to Leonard Cohen, I do listen to Joni Mitchell. I do find myself going to the music that's actually reflecting my mood, as opposed to sticking on Motown, which might actually bring my mood up.
I don't really do sad, depressing songs.
