Question

Why we listen music when we are so sad?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Listeners identify with the emotions expressed by the music or the meaning of the lyrics. They seek this kind of identification when they want to re-experience those same emotions. Some listeners in Van den Tol and Edwards' studies found that identifying with their feelings in this way seemed to help sort them out. In other words, they sought the “cognitive reappraisal” of their emotions.
