Midweek Music

Missed the mark



Music that seems to be intended to evoke a happy response will actually trigger a sad feeling in some, and the reverse can be true, as well. I suspect it’s not just because certain music is associated with certain things or situations for some people - sometimes it just doesn’t hit us the way it seems it “should.”

What song or piece of music creates in you a response that seems at odds with that particular music?

At Seventeen by Janis Ian makes many females sad as Janis sings about not fitting in. I never found it sad. I like the melody and orchestration and tune out the words and enjoy the music!
