Why is there so much anger and frustration thrown at anything that has a darker theme? Many people think that a song or movie that focuses on death is evil. I think this is entirely incorrect. I believe that this music (while not only just being good art) can also teach us a lot about the other sides of life. This song is called "The Horror of Our Love" its discusses the dark side of love. The potentially consuming destructive side. This song definatly has dark themes but I think it is a great song and listening to it and songs like it can help us understand and empathize with people who go through dark situations. Keep in mind theres a difference between songs that have dark themes and songs that lift up darkness. The latter is where things get dangerous. But darkness is everywhere. It's the world we live in. A place where there are over 800,000 suicide attempts in the U.S. each year, and 60% of high school seniors use drugs to escape their lives. It's the world we're in and we need to understand it. (I would love to hear your oppinion on this post and the song so please leave a comment.
