Music

Tribal Mozart by Keiko Matsui

Well, I was listening to this song called the Dumbing Down of Love by Frou Frou. Now, I'm not saying I dislike their music, in fact I like it a lot. However one verse in the song goes like this:

Music is worthless unless it can
Make a complete stranger
Break down and cry

And then I started thinking about it. I couldn't help but feel this was, in some small way, a little true seeing as how most of the music I like the best at one point or another makes me cry. However, it is also completely false seeing as how any music can make me cry depending on my mood. Then again, I usually cry because of whatever I'm thinking at the time, not the music.

In any case, for the most part I don't believe this. All music has worth to it since it is an expression of the person and therefore beautiful no matter what. And personally I'd rather spend my whole life trying to make people smile and be happy than trying to make them cry through music. But I kind of fail at that seeing as how whenever I write any kind of lyrics they are rather depressing or not happy at all. ; But in any case I still want would rather see people happy than anything.

Though in a way I suppose it would be sort of nice at first to know you've drawn such a strong emotion from someone, enough to make them cry. But if it were me I'd probably feel guilty after. I hate seeing people cry or knowing people are crying because I start to feel uncomfortable at not knowing what to say or how to comfort them. I'm rather bad at that in person.

Bleh... I'll stop talking now. I'll probably just start repeating myself after a little while anyway. But at least now I feel like singing something happy, so maybe I'll submit something later.
