Heh heh...this is exactly what I do.
I'm a "user" of music. If I'm in a mood where a song makes me cry with sadness, I'll listen to it again and again, even though I realize I'm putting myself through a depressive pity party, as dj says:

I should try listening to more "positive" songs. A problem is that most of the songs I really like are sad ones because those are the songs that hit me the most. Sometimes I can even have my sadness accentuated by happy songs because they remind me of what I feel I don't have at that moment. :/
At other times when I'm feeling less emotional, even the saddest song has little effect on my feelings, and I can listen, unperturbed.

I'll try Cash's Hurt and see what happens.
"Everyone I know goes away in the end." Okay, that made me cry the first time I heard it, but not the second time I listened to the song.
