Bruce Springsteen makes me feels sad!
No, I'm not trying to generate hate mail so please read on before you start planning to burn my house down.
I have recognised that there are 18 core sounds we make, like "Raghhh" for anger and "uuum" for sensual pleasure. These sounds can be measured by pace, tone, timing and something I call attonation.
If you make a sound and I listen to it, I will feel the same emotion if I am open to sharing that is. By the way, this is how humans have survived and dominated the planet.
So when I listened to Bruce Springsteen last night I felt sad but I, being me, genrally only listen to the singer and his pace was slow, tone, low, timing irregular and attonation down. That made me feel sad.
The tune behind his singing was, however, upbeat and exciting and I enjoyed it but it is this dichotomy of sounds that elicit a wide range of emotion in the listener and I guess is the secret to his phenominal success.
You see, I wasn't saying anything bad about him.
