What does listening to music make you feel?
I was wondering how do you guys feel when you listen to music?

Not even sure why, but that song has always made me sad.

That one really does it.
Wow smart of me, listen to the three songs I know that make me unhappy in a row. I suppose it's because I grew up in a little house with a huge family, the only real way to be alone was to go outside and freeze (I live in Alaska) or put on headphones and drift away. Music is tide rather firmly to my emotions.

M$When I am just driving in general, I tend to listen to more laid back music (slow/love songs etc) because it helps me to escape from the demands of my day job and puts me in a more relaxed mood. Listening to a good slow song can often help turn a bad day into a good one instantly.
The same thing with chores. No one likes cleaning house, mowing the grass etc. However, listening to music while does make the task(s) seem more manageable.

M$If music doesn't bring up a feeling in you, its not worth listening to.

M$When I listen to music with an upbeat, I get very happy. This type of music makes me feel like I am on top of the world. Nothing can stop me and life is perfect.
When I listen to Techno music. I get an edgy burst of energy that can actually be some of the nervous energy.
When I listen to something I consider sad, I get actually a bit depressed. It can be short lived, but sometimes it just kills my mood. Then again, sometimes I need a good cry and this can help me with that. Sometimes I get this alert depress feel, for lack of a better description. This feeling comes from songs such as:
Lacuna Coil - Within Me
Coldplay - Yellow
Goo Goo Dolls - Iris
When I listen to old time Gospel music, it makes me feel guilty sometimes. Then sometimes it helps me feel closer to God.

Lyrics can be great in terms of describing what the songwriter things the music is about. And it can help us identify with the piece more. But I find myself connecting to the purest forms of music. The other night I watched Shutter Island again and after, I took my computer into my room and played ''On The Nature Of Daylight'' from the soundtrack and just wept.

Another song that I love is Pieces by Red. Now, I definitely connect to the words here and feel deep sadness, but it's really the intro (without lyrics) that changes me from the inside.

Nothing about these two songs are masterful. They aren't complex or composed with a touch of genius. They are simple songs with a hint of melody and a lot of darkness. I guess in trying to answer your question, I have realized my dilemma. I feel many things when I listen to different types of music. But I guess the dark, lonely, helpless feeling is what I love to feel. It's my choice when listening to music. Feeling despair makes me feel alive, and music can do that to me better than anything else can.
Thanks for the inspiring question!
