When I go into a more moderate depression, then music sounds like noise to me. I'm talking about the kind of music that I would like. Because when I listen to music, it's music that I picked out for myself. I know that I have to be very depressed if the music that I like does not sound good to me. Also when I feel very depressed, I notice more of the lyrics; and I would be very critical about it.

What I really hate about listening to music the most is when I go shopping and the music is piped in. There's one grocery store that I go that plays music pretty loud. It's really bad when I hear a song that I really hate. It makes me feel entrapped or being tortured. One time when I went out to eat with a friend, the place had played 1950's Doo Wop music. It made me feel old.
