Guest Yegg Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 Melancholy familiar stuff I used to listen to all the time during high school like Proswell, Daedelus, or Koushik. Also lo-fi stuff like Jandek or OCS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Renivatio Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 Proem, Joy Division, some Aphex, Sigur Ros, "Iambic 9 Poetry" by Squarepusher, "Bitter Sweet Symphony" by The Verve, Wisp (NRTHNDR and Shimmering Hour on certain tracks), and "Bruise Animations" by Clark I could go on and on, but I feel spectacularly lazy due to my legal communication theory papers.

Guest headonist Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 when i'm depressed i like to listen to field recordings or recorded conversations I was going to say I refrain music when I am depressed. But now that you mention, I remembered I loved listening to recorded conversations a long time ago when I was depressed. Helped me alot I think.

Captain James Mission Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 Joy Division Good Choice. I also listen to Massive Attack - "Blue Lines" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caretstik Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 No depression at the minute but definitely got some blues going on. Braintree's earlier post reminded me how well The Cure's 'Siamese Twins' goes down. Don't think I can go through the whole of 'Pornography' just now though.

sidewinder Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 I agree with you both on Faith and Pornography...really depressing but really great albums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caretstik Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 Just to make me feel a little better, anyone else on a downer just now? Not entirely off topic hopefully, I'm finding myself regressing a little in my musics as a result (Bauhaus, BMX Bandits, old 4AD etc.). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm almost always on a downer, that should make you feel better lol. Listening to Built to Spill right now, Perfect From Now On. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candiru Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 Actually, when I'm feeling a bit shit, I avoid overly depressing music because it sort of makes you wallow in it more. I try to listen to something that feels human, but not overly moody. My Bloody Valentine and Miles Davis go over pretty well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremymacgregor87 Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 I've never tried it but maybe this: I imagine it would be quite pleasant. It wouldn't bury you any deeper nor would it pull you out of it - just a very calming album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SR4 Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 i try to listen to stuff thats sad but still uplifting and inspiring. this is one of my faves as of late: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dJyhtyV3bC0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redruth Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 there are way too many things to list. if i were to list only one song, i would go with this by proem http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lOiX38NKT08 you have to close your eyes and listen to it however this is just gorgeous chax, proem is dear to me. ! think you just won yourself a place as my first fr!end in 'all this'.....and me as yours.. if you'll have me?

Redruth Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 i don't. not only does it not help, but then certain music gets tied to a bad moment I dunno man, what does help depression? I think sometimes its best just to ride it out. blah blah, what do i know. ha! Massive, invigorating adventures outside listening to favorite music's on headphones will usually clear that right up. Some of the most important systems in the body are reliant on momentum and stimulation in order to function properly placidburp. Also our brains are like a bank to certain extent, make to many withdraws without deposits and checks... r go'na bounce yo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest zaphod Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 if i'm genuinely depressed music is just annoying and boring. but if i have the blues i usually just pop on something upbeat like the sea and cake or tortoise. i care because you do and the rdj album almost always lift my spirits since they're tied to very good memories. i don't like wallowing in small depressions, it's just stupid and a waste of time.

BobDobalina Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 Definitely the go-to album, always leaves me in a better mood after listening to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshuatxuk Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 ska / reggae. basically from my experience listening to IDM when already depressed really doesn't help. Your avatar coupled with ska/reggae makes me think of matisyahu. Reggae and dub is a good choice, it's positive sounding even the lyrics are serious.
