To what stretch does language and music meet? To explain, both are in the same dimensions, sound and symbols. Both of which always invokes the mind to think or the emotions to feel. If they do not, then they are boring lectures. To be honest, it has been 30 minutes since I started this post and look where I've got.
I'm not much a fan of boring lecture, more so am I knowledgeable of what I'm about to talk about. So, in a narrative, I'll be the the unreliable narrator for this small prose. I think?
There is this song that is cheerful in tone but melancholic in its lyrics. I find it, weird hearing the song to be light and yet the words are heavy for me to carry my tears. Yes, I cried. I don't know why at first but then it dawned on me, it's regret, I think? But it seems to me, that's one thing that makes that song beautiful, it is cheering on the ear but damn it can make a person cry. It is not normal in my opinion, but then again it isn't original in its style, I think? I am not knowledgeable enough to say that there had been music like this before but I do know this isn't the first time I've across this.
Well, that's the main gist of it. I'm getting sentimental over a joyful song. if you wanna hear it too, here's a link to it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vYV_XRiwbsY
Kudos to Ed Sheeran for this song. Also watch the original music video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7t3Re2VIbHE
Call me stupid, if my conclusion is just common. But nothing's gonna change my mind that this song is a great one.
But that's just half of my beginning intro. What of language? What about it? Is there some kind of prose or poetry that does the same? Answer is, just keep reading, one will find one.
Wait, what was my conclusion again? Given the chance a joyful music can make a person cry. And I guess, given a chance, a sad story can make a person smile. Is that it?
