MUSIC: Of Cereals and Lyrics...
All songs have a purpose to it. They can be direct and mindless; in which there is still meaning in the lack of meaning and reason behind the unreason (can anybody resist dancing to a Ke$ha song really?) and they can be ambiguous; in which streams of different interpretations are free to flow - these are the songs I find most beautiful.
Some people tend to stereotype kinds of songs as either ‘mainstream’ or ‘indie’ or other genres in which I find a lack of adequate understanding of the purpose of music- a unifying language.
The loveliest music around are the one that speaks and relates to most people. No matter how it is perceived, it must comfort the soul.
Sometimes it gives an answer to a mutual problem..
or a rhetoric question that broadens the minds thinking.
or just plain and simple - make you move, wiggle and forget!
The purposes could be endless.
To end this, I give you the song that speaks to me the most these days.
The song can be easily perceived more as a plea about an unrequited love (which is pretty relatable too) but to me there is more to it between the lines.
The injustice of the lack of opportunities and credit that we try hard to work for most of the time. But again that is just me. Oh great melancholy!
So how about you? Does a particular song speak to you greatly these days? Speak and share to me!
