I was wondering the other day about sad
love songs and WHY OH WHY we all love listening to them! I’m not on my own here
am I? We all go through sad love song stages, and not just when we’re broken
hearted ourselves.
I’ll put it out there and say that
sometimes, when I’m by myself, I like to listen to a good old sad love ballad
of the 90’s on high volume and on repeat a few times!
OMMG, I can not believe I just told you
that!
My theory is that sad love songs allow us
to access that emotion within us that we generally try and stifle as we go
about our day-to-day lives.
A classic example – Something difficult is
going on in your life but you have to go to work and do the other things you do
and you don’t want your family and friends to worry so you suck up the sad
feeling and get on with things. The problem resolves itself in time and you
feel fine again BUT in the mean time you’ve shut a certain amount of sad
feeling up inside of you! A very natural thing to do really!
Bring on the sad love ballad and you’ll
probably find that even though your relationship is rock solid, your dog hasn’t
died and your family aren’t driving you crazy you’ll still get enough involved
in the song to feel that sad feeling and THUS…. RELEASE IT FROM CAPTIVITY
WITHIN YOU!!!
The sad love song is the perfect outlet for
the sad feeling!!!!
Another perfect example of musical
goodness!
