... that it makes you feel sad?


I've got 2 of them going on and it's struggle to find an antidote after listening for a while.



Thoughts?

Bourbon? 

Nah.... that would not solve it.... but it might give you another song.

The antidote would be a Happy song...... 

I'm working on a new tune that is a bit sad..... it'll be up in the next week or so.... still working out the lyrical kinks before I record.

I've had sad efforts, but not sad songs.

Hmmm. What kind of sadness is evoked?
 
Emotional and physical sadness derived from one's relation to the lyrical content, or stirred from a great music score? 
 
Or sadness like I experience, evoked from how pathetic a song I just created.
 
For your sake, I hope it the first one, in which case you did well.

Down in the jungle living in a tent you don't use money you don't pay rent. You don't even know the time but you don't mind.

Hi,

A drink and a sing-a-long of the Lumberjack Song usually does the trick ... after a few tries of course because we can't even do the steps right!

I remember reading an interview w/ Mike Hedges where he talked about the The Cure albums he's worked on that were so dark and depressing and how the whole process was making every one miserable and how he himself ended close to a nervous breakdown.

I never thought of it that way. Personally, I am perfectly at home in that stuff. 
It's happy songs I wouldn't be comfortable with. :s

Cure songs never depress me.
