When I am emo, and I am frequently, I listen to songs..
I am either a romantic or sentimental kind of person. When I am emo, I am the latest one. And inside me, is the soul of poet, although I do not possess a great ability in expressing myself beautifully in words, but I believe in the power of words, and have always been finding comfort by expressing things through written words.
I have a playlist in my iTunes called "My Compilation for broken heart moment". I like songs with good music, compact, not too light and not too catchy.. and above all, I like songs with powerful lyric.
These songs are my perfect companion during heart-breaking moments... They pull me deeper, to my most fragile point, then let me shed my tear there... then I am a brand new happier person. :))
here are some of my most favorite ones: (not necessarily in most-least favorable order)
- Boston by Augustana
- Chasing Cars by Snow Patrol
- Cold Water by Damien Rice
- 9 Crimes by Damien Rice
- Misguided Ghost by Paramore
- Warning Sign by Coldplay
- Why does it always rain on me by Travis
- Learn you inside out by Lifehouse
- Pills by Sarah Maclachlan feat. the Perishers
- Something in me was dying by Keane
- Heaven Forbid by the Fray
- Too much love will kill you by Queen
- Nara by ES Postheomus
- Soldier of fortune by Deep Purple
- Rainy Days and Mondays by the Carpenters
- Yesterday Once More by the Carpenters
and many more... It turns out that there are a lot of good emo music out there... Too bad, I am not musically inclined enough to compose a song everytime I am sad. If I am, I would have had more than 10 albums with lots lots of hidden tracks by now. Hahaha...
And no, I am not emo now.. These songs are good even in good times, but more powerful during emo times. MY suggestion, try avoiding these pieces when working on physics problem, side effect ranges from temporary and/or permanent emo, low self esteem, lost of identity and motivation up to suicidal tendencies..
