Do you ever hear a song from a happy time in your life and it almost kills you – because you’ve changed so much and the happiness you had is long long gone and IT AIN’T EVER COMING BACK.

Man…I feel like that
WTF music do to our mind???
it’s exactly why i stopped listening to music years ago.
Good smart decision!!
I still listen to those I can feel ok
nuclearbackpack, Yes but it makes me happy to listen to songs i love. I use to sing and had bands, when i stopped i didn’t listen to music at all, it really did hurt and make me sad, it took some time to get over it, but finally i started listening and singing again for fun. perhaps that’s what your going through? Time marches on and waits for no one, I needed to accept that and enjoy my memories.
I know how you feel it happens all the time. Music can be therapy or cause the need for it.
I feel like this whenever I hear music from the 80’s.
And yet that’s my favorite music decade to listen to.
It’s a bittersweet feeling; I wish I was that young again… I know I will never be that young again.
And yet ironically, the 80’s weren’t a very good decade for me. I was bullied in high school, I had all sorts of awkward social issues, and I wasn’t really happy.
Yet, compared to now, it was a simpler time.
So when I hear 80’s music, there’s a bit of sadness, and yet still a wave of nostalgia that makes me smile.
Yes I’m a [late 70s and] 80s kid too. And I think that what makes it doubly painful is that the music of that time is much better and more care-free than the music of now and that reminds us that the world itself has grown into a much harsher more complicated place and of course as we’ve aged life has become infinitely more painful as we’ve accumulated endless amounts of bad experiences.
I haven’t been able to listen to music in months. It’s not distracting enough to suppress my suicidal ideation and I would get sucked in to the emptiness at my core, if I tried to. And, yes, just about my entire music library would be triggering anyway.
I just recently made the mistake of looking back at my MP3 collection (dating back to 1999 or so – I’m 36 now). There were so many songs that I downloaded during the time me and my 2nd wife started dating. It completely broke my heart. While I have such fond memories of that time, it’s now almost unbearable to think about what was and what will never be again. I still love her, even though she is 100% done with me and has moved on to another relationship.
I was happy when Eminem came out lol he was my happiness back then. how awesome just remember about this
