Does listening to music with dark lyrics make you feel better when you're depressed?

  • When I was little my mother would sing me very sad World War I and II songs and songs about death, tragedy, etc.
    Songs about children dying, fathers dying in coal mines, etc.

    I can still sing all of songs and have found them on YouTube as well.
    I find myself attracted to and comforted by melancholy music more so than any other. Perhaps it stems from these early experiences.

    I once read a book about the melancholy songs of the civil war and how it helped the population of that time deal with the collective grief of such a brutal war.

    Interesting topic!

    • Why don't more poor people join mutual aid groups instead of using charities?

  • Exactly. You are not alone!
    I really don't know what a mutual aid group is.
    How do I find them?
    What are some examples?
    How would they help?
