It turns out that crying along to sad songs is guaranteed to make you feel better – so grab your Luther LP….
A study published in Scientific Reports found that crying to sad songs produces a measurable sense of pleasure in the person doing it.
The researchers found that when people experienced chills or cried, they were more likely to be breathing deeply and experiencing pleasure – which suggests that we get genuine pleasure from listening to sad songs and have a fittingly emotional response.
