I thought about naming this thread 'music that makes you cry' or 'do other women do this' but decided it was too narrow, and only fair to let happy emotions be included, too.
I just wondered - recently every song I hear or play seems to be directed right at my emotional core, (which is sad atm but regardless) do any other women find you play songs that make you even sadder? Songs you know will make you cry, as in during a romantic breakup or separation? I have to make a conscious effort atm not to choose songs for my playlist that are guaranteed to make me cry, otherwise it will be a real sob fest here.
But at the same time, I dont feel happy and dont wanna hear bobby mcferrin telling me not to worry, be happy.. ya know what I mean?
as for the other side of the coin, when Im feeling good, happy more active music tends to make me feel even better and more energetic.
I guess the question can apply to guys as well, but somehow I wondered if it isnt just a woman thing to listen to songs that make you cry when you're sad. Or is it just me, Im a freak of nature?
Maybe its a cathartic thing, though.....
