Thread Name: Why Do We Like Depressing Music?
Subject: RE: Why Do We Like Depressing Music?
Hey Jeri et all... I've bee off track for most of this thread, sorry... There was a time when I sang mostly "Depressing and Provocative" songs. Hundreds. Death, addiction, depression, needless war, permenantly broken hearts, lost love, cheatin', deceivin', and political corruption and provocation... I will still draw a few out frequently, and sing them with strong passion, but collecting dust is their predominant avocation now, and I'll tell ya why.

I want to be surrounded by millions and millions of happy people... in this live, on this earth. Don't get me wrong, catharsis is the key to emotional freedom, Yes???? And I do my best to bring it on safely and with care... But after we're're done, beauty is the obvious choice. Ya think? ttr
