music as therapy
I've been going through some relationship issues. I can wear headphones at work, and wanted to listen to something that would make me feel better about the situation. I ended up choosing to listen to the Janis Joplin/Big Brother and the Holding Company version of the song "Ball & Chain."
I was a bit stressed before listening to this, but after listening to it 3 times in a row (it is a ten minute song about lost love and despair) I felt cleansed. Not to sound corny, but it seemed as Janis was telling me what my heart was telling me, like she could relate.
So, what songs do you listen to to get you through life's negative emotions? Another example: when you are pissed at your job: Dead Kennedy's version of "Take This Job and Shove It.
(I'm not sure if this has been done before, I have no idea what words to use to search for a topic like this.)
