> I'll listen to the saddest stuff I can find This is one of the reasons I think this space is hard. You kind of want music that (step 1) first resonates with your current mood, and (step 2) then maybe takes you on a journey toward a better mood. And what journey you want depends on a bunch of factors. Am I just feeling blue, then maybe I eventually want to be cheered up. Am I mourning the recent loss of a loved one, then I'm going to be sad for the next N weeks or months, and I just want to be able to handle that in a healthy way. step 1 and 2 together are maybe easier for books, because a story can start off sad and you can take an uplifting journey with the characters. But it's a little harder for music, because a song typically has one mood. Maybe you can find an album with an emotional arc, but I think practically you'd need to generate a playlist with songs that match at the boundary and overall create a trajectory. But that's something you can only do when you know what the trajectory is in the first place, which is hard (as I mentioned above). |
