When broken or moderate down, it seems the mood is not supportive to hear cheerful songs. We choose to sink into sadness by listening to a song that is upset or mellow. However,Is the song upset really the right choice to be heard when the mental condition is down?
Benefits of listening to songs upset
Music expert, Kay Norton, in his research in 2014 revealed that lively music with sad lyrics is a favorite to listen to when breaking up because it can describe our sadness.
Listening to songs is upset not only to make us dissolve in sadness, but also to get rid of sadness. Through these sad song lyrics, we can release emotions.
"Music has the same form and also the same flow as human emotions. This type of music can encourage someone who is grieving to cry or express emotions in the right way for him, "Norton told Medical Daily.
After we listen to the song upset or melancholy, we will feel relieved. A sense of joy will arise when feeling connected to the lyrics of the song and can make us free to imagine.
Better than storing sadness in the heart
Eliminating sadness in yourself is an important step in dealing with stress or losing something. It is precisely if we do not let the emotion overflow we will save the feeling of sadness, so that the negative emotions emerge and make the feeling of loss even greater.
Two researchers from Freie Universitat Berlin, Germany also had the same perception in examining the impact of listening to upset or sad songs on us. Their study (based on a survey of 770 people and published in the journal PLOS ONE in 2014) listening to songs can cause positive emotions such as peace and tenderness.
"People listen to sad songs to feel comfortable and face feelings of confusion, but some also just listen to them for fun," said Liila Tarufii, one of the researchers to Today.
Tarufii added, "Sad songs have the potential to regulate negative moods and emotions, and provide entertainment. That is, sad songs can play a role in someone's happiness. "
The psychological influence caused by the song is upset
When you listen to a song that may be popular on radio or TV, you will feel some of the following effects as quoted from Psychology Today.
- Beautiful melancholy songs can be a good tool for expressing your sad expression. A theory reveals when your negative emotions arise, such as sadness, there is a mechanism in the brain that is triggered to inhibit the reaction from feeling displeased. So your feelings of sadness will not drag on.
- Music listeners realize the difference between reality and what is described in the song. This difference allows the listener to feel negative emotions in his mind, without making him behave negatively.
- When listening to sad songs, the listener will express his expression by releasing the sadness he feels. Not with a negative action, but it can be by pondering or then asking for help from others to encourage him.
- By encouraging us to reflect on ourselves, upset songs can help listeners use positive judgments to solve problems and increase personal maturity.
- Songs upset or sad can affect the listener out of the problems or difficulties he faces. Feeling traumatized or sad when listening to a song upset, will remind him that he had faced a worse problem and in fact he was still fine.
- Along with feeling sad, melancholic music can make listeners get positive emotions such as feelings of affection and empathy. These feelings can make the listener behave well and positively, and make him satisfied because he can escape the sad feeling.
Don't listen for too long
Even though listening to sad songs can make you feel more comfortable, you should not listen too long to this troubled song. When you feel better, immediately listen to more songs fun.
