Theory of Relating to Songs
Is there a reason why we like songs SO much?
I mean, sometimes there are songs that we like to chill to.. or sometimes some we just like to dance to... I wanna believe that the artsy fartsy reason behind the creation of music is because the artist is able to create the mood we are in using vocals and instruments.. and match it. doesn't that make sense?
Songs that don't have words are easier to relate to... cause that's just pure emotion "sadness" "happiness" "freedom".... and makes it all the more easier to feel what the artist was feeling. which i still think is an amazing accomplishment,
A lot of people relate to songs, find meanings in the words. Some people argue that people are just trying to shape up their feelings like a kid's toy to make it FIT the song. kinda like a triangle fits in a triangle hole.. so a love song about someone leaving is "SO ABOUT YOU"...
i have to agree.. we might distort things in our reality to make it FIT to a song sometime.. but not always.
A lot of times, and this is my theory part... so pay attention... A LOT OF TIMES, someone will hear a song... will love it, will
memorize the words and sing it over and over cause this time.. the triangle shape DID fit..and this artist found words to express what you were feeling in words you couldn't find. in words you thought you were crazy and alone for feeling or thinking.
i think there's a comfort in that, hearing someone express something you couldn't put in words.. and ultimately realizing that you're NOT alone. that there is atleast ONE other human being (the songwriter) who felt the exact same way you felt. who argues the same logic as YOU, who makes the same arguments and fights the same inner battles you're fighting. in essence, it just might make you feel less crazy...
props to all the dj's and artists out there.
