Mac Miller taught me that it’s okay to feel things, and it’s okay to need help. Kendrick Lamar taught me that it’s okay to be afraid, it’s okay to think you don’t deserve what you’ve been given. Jay-Z taught me that financial freedom is our only hope, and that a loss ain’t a loss, it’s a lesson. I’ve definitely learned more about being a decent, well-rounded person from music than I have from church. “Music is the new religion.” I read that in a Pitchfork interview, and it makes me think. I’m sure there’s some music psychologist who can show me case studies and peer-reviewed papers, but I’m not a scientist, I don’t know if I’d understand all that technical jargon and obscure psychology terms. On paper, it doesn’t sound like it should help, but it does. I don’t know why sad people love sad music so much. I’m going to try that only listening to upbeat, positive music for a month or two, and see if it does anything for me. Maybe if I listen to “Happy” a million times a day, or start my mornings with “The Dreamer”, eventually I won’t be so angry at the world. Now, seeing that written down, it seems kind of fucked up. I love sitting in my room listening to “u” and drinking whiskey in the dark. I listen to a lot of really, really depressing music, and I think that it’s starting to affect how I think. I read an article recently about the psychological effects of music, and how it affects your mood, and it occured to me how important music really is.
