Why do people tend to listen to love songs when they're sad? As if the pain would go way in the speed of light, but in fact you're just making it worse. The song usually reflects the feelings of a person when he/she is in love. Come to think of it, almost all the feelings on earth are used in several love songs. Do love songs really make sad-lonely people feel better? I really can't say that they are completely healed after listening to a love song. But there's this particular value a love song has that no other song can be compared to.
