Music Rant

I've Always liked to see music as something bigger than labeled, in the end it's just sound coming in your ears but Music feels like something more, Music can make you Feel in a different mood then you were before or enhance your mood, in a way it's a drug, a very powerful one, Nobody could imagine a world without music, This comes forth in movies such as Shawshank Redemption where inmates describe listening to music first, the best day of their lives.

To me Music has always been special, certain songs such as Nothing Else Matters Always have had a special meaning to me, an emotional meaning even. But lately I've been getting really annoyed, no mad, sad, angry, flabbergasted about music right now. This disease shits on classic songs by having heavily monetized Companies making money farms out of a few words with a beat behind it. And sure for a lot of producers music used to be money as well in the old days but They put feeling in their songs, and you can feel that in some songs, those were the best. You can feel The pain of the author while listening to songs such as Stairway to heaven, and wish you were here. They make the songs a thousand times better. I like to think this as the main reason to make these songs as well, personal experience, letting their heart breath, sing about topics that hurt them personally or in a general statement not to make money but to let their words out, these days it's all about putting some words on a paper, making it rhyme, putting a funky beat behind it and make some money, they didn't use to make lyrics to let them rhyme or sound fun, they doctored for days, sometimes weeks to have the lyrics stand out as best as possible, and usually not clear as day as well, it had some mystery. The lyrics didn't directly point out what the song was about, you could speculate and theorize about the meaning in some songs even.

When I ask anyone who makes good music at these times most will say Adele, and that says a lot, since Adele writes every song about the same topic, like how much relationships did she have? 20.  (she did have really good songs don't get me wrong) It's bad enough that our biggest Music channel in the Netherlands slogan is: the beat of the moment, says a lot about the music, the beat is important, not the lyrics, or the feeling in the song... Honestly I can get really Pissed off about just listening to songs. Not even talking about most songs being a race on who can get the most high pitched voice of them all, or the amount of auto-tune or doctoring in the voices of today's singers. Not to mention I've been struggling to tell if songs were sang by men or women in the last year, or a random black man saying some random made-up word in a deep low voice every 20 seconds between the "singing." Feels like if you have the slightest bit of talent you can make a hit on the radio... awful
