Anybody notice that the more a song correlates with a message, the less attractive and enjoyable it sounds? The more attractive music, is simply normal…

The “normal” songs are more broadly what Jennifer posts. I think mine have a good emphasis on good qualities of affability.

“Normal” art is a precarious position in the consumer world. It can be junk, but it has to appeal to the broadest market, so it necessarily takes the bare minimum steps to at least be attractive if not addictive in it’s music theory gaming and hamfisting.

@NoeticJuice thanks for sharing.

I think i have a better way to describe what I’m seeing, it’s been discussed much when describing christian movies or right-wing art. Trying to sell an on-the-nose message, often leads to more energy put into the message than the art-making part.

Pick your best christian movie and compare it to a solid blockbuster... No comparison imo.

On the flip side, a lot of christians honed the craft of music making, so there are some pretty solid christian songs, but even christian music has faced the same critiques of what I’m describing.

@BlooDrinker420 this is an old comment but, how the hell do you listen to Mozart’s Laudete and not feel extreme peace, tranquility, or a divine pleasure?

I’m no classical snob, but if you can’t enjoy that, it’s kinda like pop music did to human musical pleasure, what porn did to sex!

@NoeticJuice and that’s the great artist’s tension, isn’t it. What creates a true masterpiece — how can we transliterate what’s in our head into the thing that changes the world.

It plagues the artist: “how do i make that thing that I can see perfectly in my brain???”
