There was a great article in the August 06 edition of Electronic Musician called Keep on the Sunny Side. The author, known only as Larry the Q, noted that although a full spectrum of moods [is present] in pop and rock lyrics, they seem disproportionately skewed toward unhappiness.
What if you could listen to or even create music that would do just that? What if you could be a part of a music movement that would create positive experiences for people who really crave them. What if you could change someones outlook with your thoughtful words and great musicwould you take the opportunity? There are many writers who are challenging themselves to use their craft to improve the world instead of complain about the broken state of it. You could be a songwriter who could affect many lives exponentially with one positive song.
Write Positive Music!
The truth is, its hard to write positive music that doesnt sound bubble-gummy or preachy. And, although the great heartbreaker tunes that can bring you to a cathartic cry have their place, positive songs can do something else for the listenerthey can inspire.
For all those people who are using the Law of Attraction to create a positive day-to-day life experiences, positive music is the soundtrack for your endeavors. For all those who are people of faith, regardless of affiliation, positive music can deepen your faith and open your heart toward understanding, tolerance and hope. For all those who are looking for a drug substitute, caffeine substitute, or even something to invigorate the dreaded morning work-out, positive music is the best high going!
Whats the point of writing positive music? Doesnt everyone just want a little validation as they go through lifes woes? You know what Im talking about; a good bluesy, I-lost-my-girlfriend, got-no-money-and-my-dog-just-died, misery-loves-company kind of song?
How often in todays culture are we inspired? Theres a lot of well-produced pop music out there, but does it lift you up? Does it encourage you to rise to your potential? Do these songs ask you to pay attention to lifes details that are so often overlooked, yet amazingly inspiring? Do these songs charge you with that I can do anything I put my mind to kind of energy?
Dont get me wrong, I love a good, sympathetic song when things just arent right; but, most of the time, Im trying to get to the happiest place I can each day. And nothing can help that effort along like a good positive song.
