Emotional Songs

Songs are not only about good music, flowery lyrics and well conditioned voice. They are more about feelings; feelings which seem to flow involuntary through our hearts. A small child may hum a tune, although without proper tune, lost notes and insensible words. But, what matters most is that her humming is making her happy and she is delighted to do so. Someway or the other, we can relate a part of our lives to some songs. Sometimes, it feels as if a particular song was created just for the person who is listening to it. We somehow visualize the shape of unrequited love, failure, longing to go home, loss of a dear one, and all other black keys of the piano of our life, in most songs we lend an attentive ear to. A song may serve to kindle the agony of a broken heart, while another may reflect what the person has actually gone through.
