Sad Songs 

It’s ok to not be ok

I really liked them holding hands and listening to sad music together at the end. Being sad with someone else makes it all a little less lonely

I guess this is why Elton john wrote a song called “sad songs say so much”

Meanwhile “ooooone is the loneliest number” Edit:cheese

the star shirt dude is preaching straight facts

I think one of the main reasons we listen to sad music when we’re sad is because it matches our mood and we can relate to it, which makes us feel better in a way

This guy’s videos help me with my depression. The mixture of humor and real life has me rolling in (joyful) tears. Thank you for all your hard work and the joy you give me and everyone else!

Who else wants to be friends with Chris?

My daughter recommended I prevail's "let me be sad" after my brother passed. It was so healing.

Thank you Chris. For reminding me that it's okay to not be okay. It's okay to not be okay together. Everyone has different strategies, and as long as they don't hurt anyone, they are all valid.

“ it’s okay to be sad it’s ok to be me” that hits man 😢

it’s okay to not be okay, it is not okay to be okay with not being okay and not trying to be okay when you are not okay.

I literally teared up watching this. So wholesome!

Sometimes sad things make you happy

Sad music is like the best. I can’t even lie you might think I’m depressed laying down, listening to sad music but in reality I’m just experiencing the moment of a lifetime

Thank you! Nobody in my circles understand this. When I'm sad I want to listen to sad or otherwise soft music, and it helps me process/carry me through those emotions

Glad I'm not th only one who likes sad songs when I'm sad. People always say it's gonna make me more sad or I'm being dramatic or shit. You need to feel your emotions and process them. The music helps with that.

Feeling sad is all I really got now I'm my music

It also prevents good happy songs from being permanently tainted by my sad feelings. I made the mistake of listening to happy songs after a bad breakup, and now every time I hear those songs, I'm reminded of how I felt then. It completely ruined those songs for me

I haven’t felt like myself in months so sad songs have been in heavy rotation lol

It's actually proven, that listening to sad music when feeling sad, stabilizes your mood and make you feel better.

Me: *feeling sad and cries* My brain: "you are pathetic when you cry." Me: *wipes tears and continue walking*

This is me, all the time. My favorite band is probably MCR. It was finals this past week so I listened to a playlist of all their music… twice… within 24 hours…

“It’s ok to be sad it’s ok to be me” I STILL SEE YOUR SHADOWS IN MY ROOM CANT TAKE BACK THE LOVE THAT I GAVE YOU…is the only thing I could think of

I listen to sad songs during my free period at school and people say it will just make me depressed 🙂 They were right. But it’s just something I do now it’s normal.🙂

Amen to that! Thanks so much for releasing this short, I really needed that support! Thanks, Chris!

I, too, like sad music when I'm sad, because it helps me move through my feelings and naturally transition to more positive emotions. Sometimes I go from sad, to more aggressive (to clear out any anger), to upbeat once I've let out heavier emotions. Other times I go from sad to hopeful/gentle to happy or playful. Occasionally the genre switches suddenly, but most of the time I organize my playlists to gradually move and complement my feelings at the moment.

Yes!! I listen to Alice In Chains- Shame In You and their unplugged album as well as Nirvana All Apologies when I’m sad. Really hits the feels

There'll be sad songs to make you cry-Billy Ocean

aww. very sweet ending! 🤗❤️

In my case when I'm sad, I listen to melancholic music (for me, sunny day, my way, alone again naturally, etc.) They usually make me feel sad, but when I'm sad, they remind me of good times and they cheer me up.

To be honest, happy, upbeat songs just make me annoyed and angry when I feel really depressed. 🤷🏻‍♀️

But you know it's heavy when even fun songs still make you cry...

My ultimate comfort song is “It’s Alright” by Mother Mother. Not a happy song, not really a sad song either, just a song saying that sometimes shit sucks and we fuck up and that it’s alright. Also “you’re not special babe” by Orla Gartland is surprisingly comforting.

my rabbit just died this morning, and my cat ran away last week, I miss both of them. I spent the whole morning crying. Please send prays for my rabbit and cat ❤😢

And that in turn, makes you happy in a weird way.

That's why sometimes I'll put in my earbuds at night and cry myself to sleep. Depression, anxiety, mood swings, it all comes to pass when I listen to songs that speak of things that I deal with. I think of how I was in a psych hospital for 3 years, I recall memories of happier times, I think of the what ifs, and how that shaped me into the person I am today

The implication that the cheery guy was sad this whole time while pretending to be happy says a lot.

Damn....that one was really good, love your sketches btw❤️

I love the hand holding at the end. So wholesome.

i was feeling sad, so thank you, this helped a bit! :)

This reminded me of the fact that I like to listen to music with lyrics that honestly make me think why I enjoy the song so much.

I like your videos!🙂❤❤ You make them with such a kindness & love.👍

Wholesome. Plain Wholesome.

*Sighs happy* I loved the end part your animations are really sweet you just made my day

Thanks!

I like that. I sometimes struggle to feel pretty much anything. When i get overwhelmed, i go numb, because it's just easier this way, i guess. Sad music allows me to just release all of that and just feel as strongly as i need for a while in a safe way

Hi this comment is for those who are feeling sad today because of someone very special who has passed away Now you know why they told you to be strong, they knew that one day you would need the strength to bear their loss I am very very sorry for your loss,and you can tell me all about it because I am here for you ❤

No one notice your pain No one notice your sadness No one notice your tears No one notice your attractive No one notice your success No one notice your calm and happy side But they did notice….. They did notice your bad side They did notice your unattractive They did notice your mistakes They did notice the dumb side of you They did notice all your flaws They did notice your mad and weird No matter what I will love you guys forever and i don’t care what they hate you for I can care less but if you are heart broken because of a crush or boyfriend or girlfriend listen to happy songs it will help forget️‍️‍️‍

It's OK to be sad. It's an emotion you can share With everybody

BURY THE LIGHT DEEP WITHIN!

these videos always make me calm😊

I like to think that Star's partner is lying there listening to up-beat sweet jams, happy to support his partner who's lying there enjoying his sad songs. Happy to be together and support each other with their different approaches.

Hey,you,yes you.Can’t sleep? Don’t worry,I can’t either. I know I might be stranger that you met off the Internet, But I want you to know that you deserve happiness. There’s always a person that loves you,but you never discovered it. Don’t cry,I’m here for you I understand life is hard. Cmon,you got years left, You can’t end it so early silly! You have to get going, I know it’s hard to But I believe in you. Drink some water! Read a book! Do your favorite activity! Don’t lay in your bed and cry all day,that isn’t healthy! Try to get through the day,I know you can do it. Go outside,have fun in the snow,sunny sky,or rain! Don’t forget to wear a jacket if it’s cold! 😊 I know you are tired,get some rest. Everyone can feel sad and tired sometimes, Let your tears out,cry on my shoulder! I support you for who you are,I will never judge you! I know the stares can make you uncomfortable,but ignore them! I know you cry in your pillow, I wish I was there to comfort you. Don’t forget to smile at strangers! You never know if strangers are having a bad day Bright them up,just like your bright smile! You have a pretty smile,you are pretty the way you are! Don’t be afraid to show your insecurities,don’t hide them forever! It’s your body,not any else’s,don’t change who you are For someone you don’t know! A smile can’t always change something,but it changed for who I am! I used to be just like you,but I still am 😂. I hope my comment made you happy a little, A little is better than not at all! Get some rest,you need it 😊 - an 11 year old sitting by sea P.S I love you!

It's actually true that sad songs can help you out of a funk faster than jazzy or happy songs. Sad songs are relatable, while happy songs make you feel like you're being mocked for being unhappy.

I’ve always tried to listen to hyped up music when I was sad and I never really looked at it this way.. Thankyou :)

Yeah, nothing better than sad music when you're sad, happy music when you're happy and angry music when you're angry.

Exactly. And after a while I'll get tired of being sad and tranquil songs have never sounded more peaceful than right after a good cry. I recommend "Rises the Moon" it's great after a good cry

i listen to sad songs even when im happy. i guess it's bc they are calming and relaxing to me, sort of the same effect Chris's videos has.

"its ok to be me" True😔😭😭

Y'all this happened to me once; I was with my friend and feeling depressed and I told her I was feeling sad she said she likes to listen to happy music when upset and I told her sad music helps me feel like I'm not alone and she said "wow u really are depressed" and that's that so have a nice day 😊

I am *so glad* someone else gets it

*_-They were holding hands! How cute!-_*

I like sad music when I’m happy too. Don’t know why.

Can't deal with this level of wholesome today 😭

My great grandma died that's why I like listening to sad song/music

I wish this is how my family thought of me listening to sad songs

Am I the only one loving sad songs when I'm sad?

I'm getting vibes of when you listen to a peaceful song and enjoy It olso ok to tell some one you're feelings whether you feel sad mad glad So ot fine to tell someone you're inner feelings when you ever feel like it and It's OK to tell someone if you're feeling unhappy or mad and that you can let All you're thoughts go and fly away to wander around our globe and our home

I used to have this playlist for when I was sad that gradually went from super sad songs to "I'm sad but I'll get through it" songs to super upbeat girl-power-pop and happy musical type songs It was literally the best and I can't find it anymore :(

I thaught I was alone in doing this and thinking this way, because my family always say it‘s strange. They say I should listen to happy music when I‘m sad, so my mood gets up. But I listen to sad music, so I can work things out. Sometimes I‘m sad without me knowing why, these days are dark and unless I find the reason and think about it, I will not get better. The music helps to calm down and for thinking and like in the video sad, it makes me feel that I‘m not alone with my hardships.

Yeah, usually when I decided to talk about my feelings in the past, I usually got "You shouldn't feel like that". I heard that "shouldn't" enough times, I now tend to think all my feelings are wrong, whether positive or negative. Or more accurately, I don't know if my feelings are right or wrong. Having someone tell you "it's ok to have these feelings" I imagine is probably a great thing to experience, as it means you're not in the wrong for feeling sad (or happy). And that it's a part of you.

It helps you cry all you need and then get yourself back up.

100% this. Music is therapy. I have an artist who is my goto for almost every emotion. Feeling a little anxious "Lightworker". Feeling worthless or crappy about yourself "Spirits will Collide". Feeling all lovey and goopy "Ih-Ah". And many many more. For anger see his old "band". Oh the name. Devin Townsend. His old band, Strapping Young Lad.

I’m am special needs and have been working through it. I was once led on by a popular kid. He called me ugly in front of the whole lunch table. Then he asked the school bully ( only a bully to me ) his thoughts. My heart got broken even more… I’m still not the same. I am still single and now I think that maybe they were right… Edit: I got a boyfriend who I thought liked me. He asked me to be his bf then ignored me for 6 days. I was tired of it and broke up. He texted me and called me a bitch, waste of time, and good riddance. He proceeded to say womp womp when I asked him if he’d actually ever liked me. I’m crying right now and all hope is lost. I hope to see you all in heaven…

i need someone to listen to sad songs with me like this

I feel the exact same.

It’s okay to not be okay I feel you brother

I don't know why some of my friends don't understand the type of music I like. They call me emo because I listen to a lot of sad songs

I feel you I just lost my uncle and is hard but you just got to think that they are in a better place and the are going to miss you and love you and is hard but is life and you can't go back in time

The sad songs are telling me in not alone but i am 😢

I had an emotional meltdown last month and I placed plushies around me so it felt like a gentle non-human hug, closed my curtains, listened to Jack Strauber and just cried. And I felt better, screaming into pillow is one thing but just crying is another ❤

So THATS why I always listen to sad stuff

I like how they held hands✨💗

Its nice to know alot of others out here also do this as well.

I'm currently sick, so these videos are so relaxing, like asmr

I remember when we were able to plug in our headphones to our phones. Ahh. . .good times, good times.

The way they were holding hands.❤😊🎉

I listen to sad songs cuz they deepen my sad thoughts (others harm themself physically and i do mentally)

I like to listen to happy songs when I’m sad because I’d rather deal with it on my own than accept that the rest of the world has gone through the same things. Nothing else feels quite aa hopless

Omg 😳 love your videos you are my fave RU-vidr

What a nice message

As someone who used to express feelings only through singing songs, I can relate to that. :)

Just a reminder , when you cry you're not weak you just been too strong for too long.😅

I know why, but I really needed to hear that today for some reason. Thanks.

also bc i love sad songs but I don't wanna listen to them when I'm in a good mood.

I think I remember hearing about a study that said that listening to music linked to certain feelings (like sadness, or anger and violence) made people have those feelings tuned down, i.e. feeling less sad or less angry. So yeah

Sad songs validate the sadness
