Sadness and Hard Rock
I love music and especially sad songs. They have more depth than most happy songs. It (sad music) gets me onto a level much deeper. I really like Indian (Punjabi and Hindi) sad songs but at the same time I love American hard rock/metal music. The one thing I found common in both, after listening to many different songs and understanding the lyrics, was sadness. Both types of music have the underlying character of sadness. Yet the way sadness is handled could not be more opposite. The Indian way was more subtle with soothing tones and rhymes but the American style was more hard hitting with guitar riffs and loud singing. So I wondered if it was a cultural thing? Our we Indians culturally not angry people per se? So when we're hurt or in pain we get sad unlike the Americans who tend to get angry if they're hurt or in pain. So what do we do? We collect all the hurt and pain and suffering and store it inside ourselves and this anger comes out in all the wrong places at the wrong times.
