    It's not always sadness, its sometimes nostalgy, others sorrow, it varies with the songs

    Could you name almost all "beautiful" songs?
    If you asked each human being to name just ONE song they consider "beautiful", your list would have to include BILLIONS of songs. And that's without every dead person who had their own opinion on "beautiful" songs too.

    Could you define what is happy? What is sad?
    A song that makes X feel sad may crack Y up.
    Conversely, Y may feel deep nostalgia and melancholy while listening to a song, whereas X only hears blatant commercialism.

    I find this extremely beautiful :


    It doesn't make me feel happy or sad. It just deeply resonates with me.
    Others wouldn't even consider this music, let alone beautiful.

    So enjoy the music you like, let your soul be immersed in those emotions, that's what's really it's all about.
