Fair to say that different folks will find different songs depressing? We are not all identical, after all. Many yrs ago in college I was practising Gene Clark's song 'Spanish Guitar'. One of my flatmates came in and begged me to stop, why was I playing such a dismal song, she'd never have thought I was a young woman in love, etc etc.(at the time, I was.) For me, it's one of the most positive songs I know, being basically about creativity, but my friend only heard minor chords not v well played.. Well maybe that's the answer, and why I packed in playing guitar! Still, it's different strokes for different folks, innit? X el
