As so many others can likely say, it feels weird to me not to have my headphones in and Spotify open on my phone almost everywhere I go. It\u2019s not that I\u2019m unwilling to listen to the world around me, it\u2019s just that listening to Charli XCX\u2019s \u201c1999\u201d as I walk to class is a lot more chipper than the symphonic sounds of Boston road rage. With that in mind, since I downloaded Spotify during one of my earlier years in high school, I\u2019ve carefully been crafting playlist after playlist, each corresponding to different genres, artists, and even to certain activities I would be doing whilst listening to them. My sad playlists, unfortunately, have been getting a heavy amount of rotation throughout the years.<\/p>\n

As I have grown and matured throughout the years, I\u2019ve noticed changes in my playlists holistically, depending on the artists I\u2019ve been preferring, albums I\u2019ve discovered, emotions I\u2019ve been feeling. In some cases, though, there are certain constants. <\/p>\n

Most people know the Arctic Monkeys Track, \u201cPiledriver Waltz\u201d as the ninth addition to their 2011 record, Suck It and See<\/em>. However, the most prevalent version to me is Turner\u2019s soft rendition that he recorded for the film Submarine<\/em> (2011). The film, based on a novel of the same name by Joe Dunthorne, details the struggles of a young Oliver Tate who can\u2019t seem to cope with the normal throes of adolescence (alongside dealing with the fact that his parents\u2019 marriage is falling apart and that his \u201ctiny heart\u201d has been broken into pieces by his first love). \u201cYou look like you\u2019ve been for breakfast at the heartbreak hotel,\u201d Alex Turner purrs, accompanying a scene during which Oliver curls up on his bed as it floats out to sea.<\/p>\n

Listening to this song and the Submarine<\/em> soundtrack soon became as much a part of my daily routine as brushing my teeth and washing my face. Even now, no matter which version of my \u201csad\u201d playlist I\u2019m listening to, \u201cPiledriver Waltz\u201d finds its home among the other entries. <\/p>\n

What makes that song worthy of my playlists dedicated to being played when \u201ca homie is really going thru it?\u201d and what even is a sad <\/em>playlist? Is it comprised of songs that are<\/em> sad, or songs that might make us sad<\/em> (even if not intentionally)? <\/p>\n

Thinking about how many different versions of these \u201csad\u201d playlists I\u2019ve made over the years, I began to wonder if there was a common trend, or simply a habit that I had gotten myself into. Sure enough, in reaching out to friends and peers, I found enough people who engage in this practice that I no longer felt so alone.<\/p>\n

\u201cLiterally every playlist I make gets infiltrated by sad music eventually,\u201d recalled one friend of mine, Alexis Carel (20, New York). Regardless of how high-tempo and \u201cdanceable\u201d a song can be, upon further inspection of the lyrics, it\u2019s impossible to miss indications of loneliness, betrayal, longing, and sadness buried in the margins. A perfect example of this can be found in Miski\u2019s discography a New York-grown singer-songwriter who has crafted her career out of her timeless depictions of the melancholy. One of the very first singles off of her latest album, Be the Cowboy<\/em> (2018), \u201cNobody,\u201d is a \u201cbanger\u201d (for lack of a better term). Even so, it\u2019s a heartfelt anthem to the lonely hearts club, a means by which to express her desire for love but her difficulty in finding it. While jamming out, we might not notice that some of our favorite artists are expressing their hurt in the songs we find ourselves bobbing our heads along to.<\/p>\n

\u201c[I usually listen to sad playlists] when I\u2019m having a bad depression day to block out everything else,\u201d laments Charis Huling (19, New York). For a lot of fans, music can be an escape from reality, a means by which you can completely empty your mind of the stress and otherwise darker thoughts that might be enveloping them. \u201cIt\u2019s hard to do anything else when so many thoughts are racing so I like songs,\u201d she continued, \u201cthey calm me and reaffirm my feelings even if they make me [sadder].\u201d In a lot of cases, music can allow the listener to live vicariously through the speaker and when considering the saddening circumstances that are described in some pieces of music, listening to \u201csad\u201d music might make you even sadder. That practice, though initially appearing self-destructive, is sometimes the only answer.  Having a good cry and being able to delve into music that means a lot to you might be the cure to whatever is ailing you at the time. <\/p>\n

A dear friend of mine, Emma O. (17, New York) shared her personal essay regarding \u201csad\u201d music with me, and it truly brought tears to my eyes. \u201cSlow songs filled to the brim with emotion,\u201d she said, are powerfully evocative to her when considering their masterful production combined with emotive vocals.  In the same vein, songs that are filled with hope bring about similar emotions, especially \u201cwhen written\/sang by artists with a public\/painful past,\u201d she detailed: \u201cI think it\u2019s incredible to hear songs that reveal there\u2019s something beyond the bubble I\u2019ve trapped myself in and the emotions I am constantly drowning in.\u201d Similar to how writing or other forms of artistic expression can be cathartic, a lot of our favorite artists use their music as a means to release their own emotions, inner turmoil, and triumphs. In sharing such intimate parts of their hearts, the artists allow for an intimate relationship with fans, one where those lyrics scrawled out on napkins turn into best-selling records that the world can collectively cry to and empathize with.<\/p>\n

By contrast, sometimes our \u201csad\u201d playlists serve as a means to get out of a funk, as in, to feel better when we\u2019re at our lowest. When we\u2019re feeling blue, putting on a session of our most cheerful, empowering mixes\u2014ranging from KC & the Sunshine Band\u2019s \u201cThat\u2019s the Way (I Like It)\u201d to Dua Lipa\u2019s \u201cNew Rules.\u201d For a lot of my life, music has been one of the only things that made me happy\u2014whether in regards to attending live shows or staying up until midnight to hear my favorite artists\u2019 new releases right as they dropped\u2014and a lot of people close to me have shared the same feeling. \u201cIt [is] what connected me to the world that I otherwise felt completely detached from,\u201d Emma further described. \u201cI feel [sad songs] give me a new opportunity to live through my emotions from the time fully,\u201d she said, noting the cathartic process in which sad music can allow her to disconnect from her own sadness, analyze it, and move on.<\/p>\n

Regardless of our intention in listening to \u201csad\u201d playlists\u2014whether comprised of music that is a slow, depressing lull or an upbeat pop track preaching loss and love\u2014it can certainly be said that so<\/em> many of us share that one thing in common. Music, in a general sense, is something that brings people together\u2014it can be like a warm, comforting hug in times when we feel our worst.  <\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
