Woah… what if a sad song doesn’t make you feel sadder after all.

It helps you release trapped feelings of sadness.

I used to visualise it as sadness entering me. But now I see it the other way: the song allows existing sadness to leave my body.

It helps you open up in ways you might not have been able to, releasing whatever’s stuck.

Let the emotion all the way out and the song might be even more beautiful (and less painful) next time.
