The Blues

I don’t know what the purpose of the Blues is but the reason I listen to sad music, like the Blues, specifically is because I get down sometimes and sad music get me thinking about my troubles, their troubles, and comparing them.

I find that when I listen to sad music I stop thinking about how horrible my life seems to me. I usually find that when I compare my troubles to theirs, theirs come on top of mine. Partly because their sadness was deep enough to sing a song about it to let the whole world know about why the person is so sad.

I usually listen to hard rock when I’m mad because it seems to me that they’re mad also and I can ‘blend’ my anger with theirs. I find sad songs better at these times because I usually stop being angry when I stop thinking about myself.
