If you feel down and out, sing a song, right?

Oh absolutely!  If I'm feeling annoyed at someone or something I find Aerosmith's "Janie Got a Gun" very uplifting.  If someone has attacked me verbally I find that "Good Riddance" by Green Day  or "Brain Damage" by Pink Floyd are good songs to sing in their honor.  If I've had to leave an ex-friend behind, "November Rain" is a very cheery one for me.  If someone insults my southern friend, I hum "If You Don't like the Rebel Flag..."  To the old grouches, I sing "Touch of Grey" and when I'm in the mood to move on, "Who Says You Can't Go Home?" by Bon Jovi.  Anything by Jon Bon Jovi cheers me up.  So, yes, music does lighten up a situation.

Yes, I enjoy it.  I want to be good at it.  I don't always try and express my feelings.  I don't always look at it as art per say.  I have a horrible voice.  I still write songs though.

Try listening to a happier song and see if this will cheer you up and remember that it is only a song.

Of course.  Sometimes things can seem really bad at times, but you have to tough it out and the good times WILL come around.  I promise!!!  Watch your favorite movie, eat a pint of ice cream, and let yourself feel bad if you need to, but don't let it ruin you.

Just put down what you feel in your heart should be in your song. I know when I write poetry that I put down what I am feeling inside my heart. A song is just easy. Just write what has happened in your life, anythings that you can think of that are heartfelt, put them into your song.

Wanna get all depressed and feel sorry for yourself huh?  I can relate.  If you wanna go old school, Sinead O'Connor's "Nothing Compares 2 U".   Or 1/2 of Dido's first CD.

I sometimes feel the same way that you feel...and I hate it. I'm so sorry that you feel that way and no I dont think that it should be normal but everybody had bad days so what I try to do is find something to do so I want think about whatever got me down. I love you, so put a smile on your face! :)

Yes, I do.  Quite often I do feel that way, but if you fake a little happiness, you honestly start to feel better.  Smile, even though you don't want to.  Have a cup of cocoa.  Eat chocolate... Do something for someone else.. it'll cheer ya up.

I would like to be a singer. I think the recording studio is fun but, I'm not good at it. I feel like I wouldn't be a completely hopeless case if I had the right training and voice exercises...oh yeah...and somebody pushing me to actually do them would help too!

It's difficult to get yourself going when you feel down, if you understand that you know that you have to push yourself to do something about it.\nAsk yourself the question: 'Do I want to go on doing nothing, or do I want to stop, turn around and do something active and positive?'\nI guess you know the answer to that, so taking action is very important, rather than just thinking about stuff to do.\n\nHow about making a list of things that need to be done or things that you would like to do, that way you have something in black-and-white rather than just in your head.  It's nice to be able to cross those things off your list and say 'That's done, next?'  That should give you a way of actually doing things.\n\nI'm sure when you've been down before there have been occasions where something has happened, maybe you've seen something on TV or perhaps someone has called round to see you, and you've suddenly forgotten about being down and been alright.\nThis shows you that you can change your mood in an instant.  Again, when you KNOW that, it's easier to look at yourself when you are depressed and say 'I'm NOT going to be unhappy, I'm going to feel good.'\nAlso, I think taking your mind off yourself is a quick way to stop feeling down, go and do something for someone else.\n\nHope that helps, good luck!

When you feel yourself get cynical and resentful I suggest a trip over to 'Polls and Surveys' for some light entertainment. Get away from this for a while to lighten up. Take care!
