Endless/Nameless Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 (edited) A lot of people feel that way until they're older. Also thank you for inspiring me to pull out Blood on the Tracks again. My evening just got sweeter. Edited June 8, 2016 by Endless/Nameless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#00Buck Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 You can always try some instrumental music. If you have really good speakers or headphones there is something to be said for classical music, jazz, big band, ragtime, blues, and many other genres played with instruments only. It is good to take a break and enjoy something different. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vallium Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 This is something that annoyed me as a kid I mean, yeah yeah love is great, sure. Romantic love...yeah. Its not bad to enjoy those emotions, but it also isnt bad to not have them or not even want them at all, either But it comes to a point where society is so obsessed with it to the point that each and every song is on the subject of being in love, seeking love, unrequited love, breaking up, etc. I agree that there are so many other emotions and relationships to sing about that we can fixate on, life isnt particularly single focus, and its sad when we keep getting messages that we HAVE to be in love or want live. In the end though society has been screwed up many ways over so I wouldnt put too much stock into societal norms I suggest just compile a playlist of good songs of varying subjects. Will take more work than pandora thats for sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 21 hours ago, Feelwell the Rabbit said: Is it that damn hard to make a song with sad meaning besides a damn love song? There are other emotions you know. So you want sad songs that don't necessarily have to do with love? Or songs that aren't necessarily sad either but that evoke some sort of deeper emotion regardless? If yes then the songs below might interest you 1: Loneliness 2: Fear/Mistery 3: Terror of the Unknown 4: Nostalgia 5: Regret 6: Indifference/Monotony 7: Defeat 8: Melancholy 9: Closure 10: Sorrow 11: Confusion/Undecidedness/Uncertainty 12: Panic 13: Inevitability 14: Unrest/Mistrust 15: Meaninglessness/Pointlessness/Hopelessness 16: Hope Hey, if it gets too depressing then hit the emergency button here. Anyway, I hope there will be even just one or two that you will find enjoyable, partner. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strongbob Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 Listen to Rush, especially the older stuff. 38 albums and maybe two love songs. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LazerMaster5 Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 Maybe try Cannibal Corpse. I'm pretty much sure rape, torture, brutal murder, and necrophilia don't count as love. Or maybe it does. In that case, try Cattle Decapitation. "Forced Gender Reassignment" is as far from a love song as you can get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoneyPoppins Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 Love songs are easy to write and they're easily relatable therefor easy to sell and market. I mean everyone has experienced the warm fuzzies and the occasional broken heart at one point. It really boils down to what people can relate to and love is a universal concept. Anyway, a lot of musicians have to dish out the occasional ballad in order to draw in the general audience's attention. I think it's usually the companies that force them to do so. If you want a song that is depressing or sad but isn't about love "Rings by Aesop Rock" is bomb dude. He talks about him losing his passion in art and doubting if it was the right choice to give it up. It's something I can relate to, having self doubt in my own abilities as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they have some fabulous instrumentals. And you can't not like Xanadu 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarcastic Coffeecup Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 There's a bunch of songs for all emotions. Love is simply such a universal and strong concept it's something many people can relate to. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sourdough Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 Love is universal, yes. But where are the songs about accidentally sitting on your balls on a wooden stool? Of splashback from a toilet? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
