Happily Sad

I may be a little awkward, yeah, but music has so much more influency in my life than any other form of media, that at good or bad times, i rely to music to sort of express off some of my feelings, in a way or another. I does this by relating my situation to a song.

Now recently I found that when it comes to song that brings a less cheerful or in other words, sad meanings, doesnt always have to be some slow slappy songs. Ok, admitably, lately i'm a little crazy over New Found Glory band, many of their song's just hits close to home. Now they aren't exactly punk rock, nor the word emo has a place in their's genre. They are more like a pop rock, or pop punk if you will (actually i couldnt care less about genre). So that makes most of their songs easy going, pop and rock like.

One particular song was Dressed To Kill. Lyrically, it brings a sad meaning, but the song itself, is a fast tempo, sort of "cheerful" musically, not lyrically but musically. So, this combination sort of makes this song different from the other emo songs.

Actually, the significance of it is that, i love to listent to it after a bad day as lyrically, i can relate to it which makes it a song that has true impact on me, or sort of "have feel" (unlike all current mainstreem songs that has meaningless lyrics), but at the same time, it doesnt further throws me into depression as the song has this fast pace "happy" tempo in it. So what I get is a song that I can relate too and at the same time, it cheers me up =)

Anyway, back to that song Dressed To Kill, they have a acoustic version, which is pretty easy to play on the guitar actually as it all involves power chords. Any experience guitar player will get it without a single problem. And yeah, with my father's old six string, everyday I play those few simple power chords and try to sing along. Really, I hope I can play this song well, lol. Might be the only song I can ever play, with my sucky guitar playing that goes nowhere after so long.
