Sometimes I listen to songs that used to make me sad (or at least emotional), just to test if they still make me sad. Strange? Bad idea? Yes, yes. But its an interesting way to stay awake when its 3am and a half finished paper is staring you in the face and all your good ideas puttered out half an hour ago.
Here's the list, in no particular order:
SONG (ARTIST) ---> MADE ME SAD?
1. I'm Sorry (Feist) ---> No. Ha! Not a chance, Feist. You're spent girl.
2. Float On (Modest Mouse) ---> Yes, kind of.
3. King of Carrot Flowers Part 1 (Neutral Milk Hotel) ---> Yes.
4. Fresh Feeling (Eels) ---> Emotional yes, but more hopeful than sad. So I guess the answer is No.
5. Kanske Ar Jag Kar I Dig (Jens Lekman) ---> Yes...
...I am realizing as I do this that the entertainment I'm getting from writing this down prevents me from really being sad... so the data is no longer accurate, but I would love to add to this list in the future. One last one!
6. Coupla Easy Things (Bishop Allen) ---> "I need someone to sing me to sleep" Uh, yes? But I'm not really playing anymore.
Actually number 5 and 6 were kind of cheating because they have been making me sad this last week. You should pick songs that epitomized your sadness months or years ago and see if those suckers still make you sad.
