Coping with Music

[paranoid_cataclysm]

Since I write music I'm naturally curious about other people's taste in music and other such things and thus I'm curious about how you guys feel about music.  Do any of you listen to music to try to help improve your mood when you're perhaps depressed?  Is it mood appropriate and depressing when you're depressed or is it the exact opposite?  Myself, I find that listening to music that is appropriate to the mood helps the most instead of listening to the exact opposite.

Guess veggie tale songs are out! lol
Velveteen Rabbit music by George Winston and naration by Meril Streep was the best to send kids to bed on...um and the tired parents.
Purple Rain and any music by one of the best musicians still alive Prince is great.
the music score in Wicked, Les Miserables and a little in Phantom are good.
The guy who wrote it is well with my soul was not bp. He lost everything and at a point of pondering, where his wife and daughters had gone down in international waters in a steam liner after so much pain and loss, he wrote one of the most moving hymns....look it up.

Ok, Patsy Cline's Crazy for loving you is great.  I like the Beatles, yellow submarine for just jumping around to it.
I must be a nerd, I prefer dark poetry but soothing, comforting and mainly mellow music unless cleaning the house...then it is peruvian music!

OMG how weird is that!  I was just thinking of Chrissy yesterday evening and went on youtube to find "brass in pocket" - after I'd sung it to my husband to find out the title, lol.  That was when she was "The Pretenders".
