The weather is a KILLER! Argh... so warm!! Makes one wants to do nothing at all!
Was listening to CREED's "What If" on my way home.. Was trying to diagnose why rock songs have such a draw on people... I concluded the following (but not exhaustive...)...
1) Rock songs makes full use of the musical instruments and maximise their use. Each beat of the drum, strumming of guitar, plucking of the bass... including the lead singer's yelling... Everything is loud.
2) The rhythmn and melody (if you consider it is) on rock songs are head-banging, toe-tapping. Somehow, the relation to it to a human's emotion is relative. We somehow have a need to shout it out loud, express our longing for freedom and liberty. It's a release for an individual when the loud singing brings out the angst in us.
3) It reflects the state the listener is in. He/she is determine that something needs to be done, hence, the forceful singing and music is a way of expressing that desire. Personal, social issues will come to mind, and the music somehow coarce us to believe by nodding our heads to the rhythm, we are doing something to acknowlege that cause.
Basically rock songs does what most music does to us; it stirs up our emotions, but in a manner that is more loud.
