The purpose that the blues is by playing sad and gloomy songs. When you listen to sad songs it sometimes makes you depressed. Me it makes me happy and I forget what I was sad about. When I listen to sad songs and I’m really depressed it makes me more depressed because I’m already really sad. Then I listen to a sad song and it makes me more depressed.

Why we listen to sad songs because we are either sad, gloomy or depressed. I listen to it because like slow beats of slow sad songs and I like them because some of them are love songs too. The kind of music that I listen to when I’m sad is fast techno like Cascada. I also like country because I was born in the country because they make me happy. My favorite is techno because it’s a fast beat and when I listen to it. It makes me happy and I want to dance.

How the lyrics and music affects me is I feel sad because of blues and I think about my family and the things that I used to do with them. My family and me would go camping and I cant do those because I’m in a group home. My grandparents and me like country and especially George Straight.
