repeat play song of the month
Right now, it's Imbecillesque. Again.
The music is addictive. Simple. No high notes stuffed in there just to impress people. The lyrics are simply written and realistic. I've always liked Rico Blancos' voice, and his delivery of this song is the LUV. And the bare guitar in the background is awesome in its bareness. Dunno why, but it is.
Ever wondered why people are so attracted to sad, emo, tear-jerking, heart-wrenching songs? I have—about a gazillion times—because I myself enjoy some of them. Sadistic as that is, I do.
Oh, admit it: so do you.
Why do we torture ourselves, then?
One possible reason could be that sadness is one of the strongest, most consuming human emotions. That, love, anger and joy, I guess. Combine sadness and love (meaning heartbreak), and you get twice the damage. I suppose it's only fitting that people write music about it. And since it's an emotion so strong, I suppose it gets an artist's creative juices going, letting him weave enchanting melodies and heartfelt words together.
Another reason could be that, since everyone has experienced sadness in one form or another, people tend to gravitate to sad songs because they can relate to it.
But still, I wonder sometimes. Even with these justifications of how beautiful a heartbreak song can be if it's written by a great songwriter, I still wonder... Why do I like them? It's not like I ever got my heart broken in a romantic sense, so why does my list of favorite songs include Balisong (Rivermaya) and Dreaming with a Broken Heart(John Mayer)?
And why am I even spending my time pondering about this when I simply wanted to blog about Imbecillesque?
Bleh.

Imbecillesque
Rivermaya
Good morning, baby
Are you still mad at me?
I guess I couldn't blame you
I instigated this big mess
I acted imbecillesque
Yeah I know
That I could've heard you
Had I been listening but
Instead my arrogance
Divided us and now I'm
Mess up big time
Like my guitar
Cause I love you,
but I hurt you
And though I wish that I could
Make you smile
There is nothing that I can do
But send a little song
Across the miles
I'm terribly sorry
And I hope
You forgive me
I am terribly sorry
Baby
I acted totally inept
Self-centered
Imbecillesque
Cause I love you but I hurt you
And though I wish that I could
Make you smile
There is nothing that I can do
But send a little song
Across the miles
I'm terribly sorry
And I hope
You forgive me
I am terribly sorry, baby...

i think sadness is just one feeling for all of us, albeit it happens in varying degrees. the reasons are all different but the dull pain in the chest, the weariness--i think it's all the same for everyone, everywhere.
