Is it normal for music to have such an impact on me?

Asked by itsjustcruel (387points) October 12th, 2011

I can listen to a track and it will bring me up when I feel down to the point where i either forget my problems, or come up with an easy, quick solution. I love the fact that music does that to me, no matter who sings it, or what genre it is. However, some songs, even if they are happy, and the lyrics are about something I enjoy or agree with, some songs can send me crashing down to a point where I just lock myself away and my mind goes almost blank with how upset I am. There is one song ‘where the white boys dance’ by The Killers, that I dread listening to, when it comes on the radio or on a tv program, I have to leave the room until it finishes, I have had problems with self harming, and this song still makes me want to self harm- Is this normal? Its just a song, a bunch of words and notes of music. I dont need help with this, I just want to know wether this is normal, or anyone else feels like this?
