There is no doubt that there is no one who likes to be sad. Yet, why do we like to listen to sad songs i.e. ‘sad songs’ when there are so many happy songs?

A new study suggests that it’s not just about listening to sad songs, but many other reasons, most of which have to do with eliciting positive emotions, meaning that doing so is beneficial for mental health. May be.

In an experiment conducted by Dr. Joshua Knopp, a psychologist professor in the Department of Philosophy at Yale University, it was revealed that ‘we choose sad songs because they are important to connect us and not isolate us. .’

The experimental results also showed that the feelings of the music listeners are different. They listen to a variety of music that conveys feelings of happiness, love, sadness, and anger.

According to the Daily Telegraph, Dr. Knope further explained that ‘if you feel lonely, listen to different types of music.’

A sense of happiness

Previous research has shown that people who listen to sad songs don’t do so to add to their sadness.

According to a report published by the American Psychological Association, ‘sad songs help them feel happier.’

Meanwhile, psychologists say that people prefer sad songs because they are closer to their lost feelings i.e. may be their inner voice, while MNC company expert Girish Chandran says. That ‘sad songs are listened to because they are comforted.’

In this regard, another parallel study has revealed why we prefer sad songs for behavior or mood. In fact, sad songs support us emotionally, but it would not be out of place to say that the lyrics of sad songs play an important role in bringing up our lost past.

Mood enhancer

Sad songs are great for uplifting our inner feelings, but in a way, these songs are generally positive for us.

According to experts, crying is a good behavior for human behavior. Similarly, sad music can be a good conduit for the flow of our emotions.
