I am just sitting here listening to my music (a great pastime of mine), and I have noticed that so many of my favorite songs are kind of depressing. I wonder why that is. I have my "Happy Music" playlist and a playlist for when I am feeling a bit blue. Looking at both these playlists, I have far more in my sad playlist than my happy one. Tons of Howie Day songs are just downright depressing, same with most of the music from Wicked. Maybe that is why I get so bummed out sometimes. But the sad songs have some of the most beautiful lyrics, and this is what I am kind of aiming for now that I have somehow decided to write poetry/songs. Here are some of my favorite snippets of lyrics from my "Sad Music" playlist:
"I wanna be the heart for which you fell"--Nine Days, from the song "Revolve"
"The best part of 'believe' is the 'lie'/I hope you sing along and steal a line"--Fall Out Boy, from the song "Sophomore Slump or Comeback of the Year"
"Meanwhile I'll hide my head/Here in this paper bag/'Cause if I can't see you then you can't see me/And it'll be okay/Fly little bee away/To where there's no more rain and I can be me"--Anna Nalick, from the song "Paper Bag"
"You carry your blues behind your eyes/Don't flatter yourself/I will survive/So carry you blues/Your own denial/Your feathers are gone/You'll never fly"--Nine Days, from the song "Bitter"
