Default songs for catharsis
do you have a favourite song to cry it all out too? ive gotten my sadness to such a fine art that i can hold on all day with a brave face - get home to my lounge - play the right song and cry like a baby monster until its all out.

i find it an intriguing ritual and i want to know what songs do you listen to for emotional cleansing?

this clip from 90s lesbian movie All Over Me (lword fans see pink haired alice) has not only one of my fave cathartic songs..Pissing in a River - Patti Smith

but also demonstrates the act quite well...but um yeh, best to do it alone

"Atmosphere" by Joy Divison.

Its not the whole song, but in 'Night Comes On' - Leonard Cohen, the part about playing with his kids always makes me a little teary.
I hear "my son and my daughter climbed out of the water" and I burst into tears.
I don't know why, there some much sadder parts of that song.
To love and be loved is to feel the sun from both sides.

Is it weird that my favourite breakup song is performed by a puppet monster?

*shrugs* I still think it's one of the best breakup songs ever written, puppet or not - especially when you're at the 'let's be friends' stage. I think I annoyed the hell out of my flatmate playing it last year when I was at my lowest

Generally if I'm in a low place, I try not to feed it with anything too down, but this would probably be my next choice - Rogers & Hart interpreted by Nina Simone *sigh*
