I can’t say I’ve ever truly felt like this, but I have been homesick and that was a similar feeling of longing for something/someone that I couldn’t have/see at the time.
I imagine grief is a similar feeling... |

Yes Simon & Garfunkel's "America" encapsulates it for me, and the Beatles "The Long and Winding Road." I'm not sure music distracts so much as acknowledges and honours the feeling |

....I probably would highten my feelings and wrap myself in the grief, as I find it hard letting go. I’d be listening to the wrong kind of music that took me into a deeper, more emotional state...  |

I have to embrace it, and this involves listening to very melancholic music (which in a strange way gives me comfort) and lots of snuffling until it passes. |

So now I’ve got an idea of what the question is.
In terms of missing something etc and relating it to music, although we’ve been together a long time, almost 10 years. We did have a slight rough patch for a few months.
A very strange time in both our lives and something we’re way past and over now.
We took a bit of time apart, at first i thought going out drinking and partying till 7am was great and a fantastic idea, didn’t take too long to realise that it was a distraction that was never going to work.
I put a lot of my thoughts and feelings into some of the heaviest music I’ve ever written with the band I was with at the time, which in turn changed my outlook on a lot of things.
I’ve actually no idea if that answer the questions or is even relevant to the topic but it’s what came to mind  |

First things first, I've learnt a new word, which is always cool so thank you.
Do I feel it and are there things that trigger it? Oh good God yes! Far too many in fact! |

I'm happy I now know a new word! I still miss the person I met in November and last saw in January. I remember listening to a song on the radio late on the Friday night before he came to stay after being in the Middle East for 3 weeks.
It's not even a good song but I've got good speakers that makes things sound awesome.
If I want to wallow in missing him I'll listen to this on my headphones.

Lady Antibellum, need you now. Pretty much sums up the longing I have for someone and the ‘cycle’ of our ‘relationship’
When I get that feeling (a new word for me too thanks) I just have to allow myself some time to wallow and get it out of my system. I listen to that song, cry, tell myself he’s toxic and then get back to being a warrior  |

When I feel sad, (or saudade) which is rare these days thankfully, I put my trainers on and get out for a stompy walk. I struggle to balance wearing headphones or earplug style headphones so I find somewhere to walk where nobody can hear me and I sing. Very loudly and rather badly. Often its kids songs or Christmas caroles as they are the only songs I know all the words to! |

The beach....Or outdoors in the peace of the countryside with my dogs looking at vast open spaces huge skies walking and watching the world go by or just sitting in that vast openness and let my mind wander as I listen to nature all around me...
But then I'm a hermit who lives in a cave and happy to escape the world anytime..... |
