When I was younger I'd always listen to the heaviest music I could find -- partly because it seemed to suit my mood, and partly because my mind would eventually go blank. Atmospheric black metal was my go-to depression music for a long time, along with some depressive black metal. But I think I got desensitized to it or something. I dunno; it doesn't work so well anymore. Maybe I really am "growing out of it" or whatever.

These days, mostly Pop or J-Pop songs about love, or love lost. I tend to think that my depression largely stems from a really deep loneliness and an unhealthy obsession with romance and "true love" combined with the impossibility of me ever actually finding it.

My recent favorite is "Alone Again" by Yuna Ito. I guess it won't mean much if you don't understand Japanese... But it's really powerful to me. Some nights I just sit here and listen to it on repeat.
