Does anyone else feel better when listening to sad music while feeling sad? (sh.itjust.works)

Idk why lol, sad music ironically makes me feel better. It's kinda like crying... lets out the endorphins.

Yeah, but I like to try to use it to move in a certain direction emotionally. Like, instead of pure sad, I'll put on something sad and wistful to move a little in that direction, or sad and angry to shift a little that way, depending on my current needs.

Like, this is sad and wistful, with a touch of determination:

This is sad and angry:

This helps avoid wallowing in the pure sad feeling, which I don't really like.
