I just saw someone on this site (I don't follow them and they don't follow me) say that happiness is not a good subject for music and ?????? I can't?????
#Have they never heard the melancholy joy of What a Wonderful World?
#Of Isn't she Lovely?
#of Hall and Oates belting You Make My Dreams
#that the song Happy by Pharrell was a phenomenon for a reason
#yes it's impressive and admirable when an artist can stir up specific feelings of sorrow or anger or loss
#but how miraculous is it when joy can touch your cold body and remind you that there is happiness to had???
#how wonderful it is to have songs to dance to at weddings
#to make you smile and remember a good time
#to help you look toward a good time sitting off in the future waiting for your eager hands to grasp it
#and yes this was all inspired by people being salty about l0rde sounding happy in her new song
#and dammit i'll defend her right to be happy and write happy songs because she deserves it
#but so do i dammit whether i get them from her or taylor or someone else
#gloom is not the only brush to paint with and it's actually the most boring one out there
#gloom is addictive and happy songs are a way to retrain your brain to look for beauty and joy and goodness
#that can never be shallow
#anyway rant over
