@irony of a sad song

    This one came to my mind, while listening to a just-another-song. Actually a brief discussion has already occured on this, between me and a friend. Although this may not apply to all, but i believe it will, to atleast around 98% of the world population. And the simple fact being highlighted here is ' Y a Fav song is a Sad song '. May be its because people relate to sadness more easily then to happiness. May b this is the reason y sad songs are written in such bulk and a really energetic, cheerful song having the potential to be a fav ( ex. 'Koi kahe' frm Dil Chahta Hai ), comes only once in a blue moon. Isn't it so very ironical in its way, that on playing a song in blues, nerves begin to relax, aorta starts pumping slower, a sleepiness crawls in, and the feeling called calm comes gushing out, releasing a kind of good feeling, which the song surely doesn't contain in itself. Why is it that songs like 'In the End' and 'Numb' frm Lnkn Prk , 'Kuch iss tarah' and 'Tere bin' from Atif become a rage and a very cheerful song like 'Bas itna sa khwab hai' ( my fav ) frm the movie Yes Boss goes neglected and ignored by the masses. Infact, i have a friend sane enough to add a song 'Rape Me' to his favlist. This friend of mine, one of the most cheerful persons i ever met, again ironically, has a deep love for 'Nirvana' and its lead singer/guitarist 'Kurt Cobain', the most insane singer i ever listened to!!!! Me just cant relate to the genre (read/pronounce jaunere) it plays and sings!!! And I can but only wonder at all this!!!!!!!!!!
