    Sometimes it does because hearing the music might make me emotional and help to get the emotion and thoughts swirling out of my head. The emotional release can be very relieving.

      i feel that good songs aren’t just expressing an emotion but a transition from one emotion to another. sometimes it shows you the way.

        And can exhaust an emotion. Like, rather than deny or repressing like we do for most of the day, let’s get into it…put the sad album on repeat. But you can only listen to even a great album so many times (cough cough cure disintegration) before you need a change of feeling. And I suppose this coincides with our own feelings (but for the transient, fun life’s-ups-and-downs kinda sadness not the clinical life-affecting one with doctors and medication and occasional week on a locked floor).
