What do you do when life is stressful? Maybe playing a collection of extremely depressing songs on your phone would be a good idea. When I listen to a lot of sad songs, I feel connected to them! This should happen to a lot of people. Have you ever wondered why? Because it’s easier to feel the emotion of this song. It's like the author of the song is telling us about his experience, and when the music tells me that we're emotionally almost the same, we immediately feel like we're not alone. When we feel like others are going through the same thing and can understand our own feelings, we feel better about our situation. Moreover, it reassures us that our feelings are not wrong because many people feel the same way.

Another reason why people love sad music is the production of prolactin. Prolactin has many psychological effects. Regardless of men or women, when faced with sadness or other negative emotions, it will be stimulated to relieve pain through analgesia. When you are sad, prolactin will make you feel peaceful and will not make you particularly uncomfortable. However, when we listen to sad songs, we are actually tricking our brains into thinking that something sad has happened, which causes an increase in prolactin.

In fact, there is no sadness, prolactin will put you in an obvious state of happiness. Even if the listener feels sad after listening to a sad song, he understands that just listening to the song does not make him feel bad emotions. Some people listen to sad songs just to release their hidden emotions, even if they don't feel sad even if they do nothing.

Sad songs can also allow people to reflect on some bad things in life and make their existence meaningful, even if the audience may experience something uncomfortable while listening. Some sad music can help you think about past events, think of ways to deal with it. In any case, when you are unhappy, listen to sad songs and you can feel the world of music.
