I think it's a lot easier to to do this because during those times, you do a LOT more contemplating about your situation than at any other time. You tend to study your affairs closer because you have plenty of quite time to do it. I mean.. you don't feel like going out and having fun right? So there's the perfect opportunity to write it down in a song. On the other hand, when things are going great and you're busy having fun, you dont have TIME to write about it. (That's why the Tin-Pan Alley people were so needed because all they did was write happy songs)<BR/><BR/>But here's an interesting side note:<BR/><BR/>In some of the former Communist countries, after the Wall fell... you didnt hear a sad song for years. To this day they're not popular. Why? 50 years of having someones heel on your neck tends to have the effect of never wanting to feel sad again. So, very upbeat American and European Tecno Pop is still the rule of the day some 17 years later.Wv Skyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13161394944061192630noreply@blogger.com
