I Don’t Feel Alone
I have found that I have a heavy opinion about some things. I wonder if many people feel the same as I do when I think about artists and musicians that sing about their depression or loneliness. Its pretty ironic that my current place in life often finds me feeling cynical about cynicism and blatant declarations of depression in art or music. I think something like, “They are just faking a sad life so they seem more like Kurt Cobain or Elliot Smith”. I kind of wanted to throw up when that band named Disturbed came out. ”You aren’t actually disturbed or depressed you just think that depression and rock music have to be a symbiotic relationship”, I have said this too myself for years now. What is crazy to me is that in thinking this way for years now I’m pretty sure that I have brought about in myself a deep jaded and cynical spirit. Its not good to be cynical or overly sarcastic just to veil the truth of things. And… If I honestly reflect on the world and especially those who write music or make art many of these people are depressed and I shouldn’t snub my nose at them for that. I want good things to happen to people. I want God to change peoples lives.
It sucks when people are sad.
