means of deeper expression, not into superficial.

I knew about a song that Ozzy Osborne made a good while ago.  I found it out:

I am happy to found it out.  It is one song among a few ones that express something deeper than mainstream songs.  There are a few lyrics lines that are particuliar striking.  «I'm not the kind of person you think I am» get really into me the most.  I find it true that sometimes the face we show is disconnected from what we are in the inside.  I admit that myself, I keep some part of myself from the world.  Song as Get it Through have a powerful vibe to it.  I think it may be because of the truthfulness of the lyric and powerful riff in the music.

Songs that stay relevant through time are songs like Get it Through.  It is not about pleasing pleople or using the big theme of the moment.  Getting to a core or getting into murky water   Of course, having a lighter song once in a while is good.  It can brighten the day.  It just let me in the same state the whole time. 

So, I enjoy myself when comes a song have a twist in it.  It doesn't mean the song had to be depressing lyrics with an heavy instrumentation.  It can have darker lyrics with a lighter music counterpart.  An artist like Gowan had a few song done that way.  There is Criminal Mind (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yIjddye2JSA), Lost Brotherhood (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=swW_B_RxGQw) and Moonlight Desire (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7iypXh0_mo0) that fit that category.  Of course, the videos are not up to the songs.  That kind of songs have a primitive feel to it.  It is what attract me.  Removing the 80's pop feel and it would be even better and dark fairy tale like.

Talking of deeply powerful music, I can't pass the best of them all:

It is called Self Control by Laura Branigan.  It have a tinghe of the 80's pop instrumentation but it is on the level of the Eurythmics (who also had made great meaningful music in the 80ties)

I have nothing against superficial music.  They had their purpose for those who like that genre.  It just that I don't always like big short sensation of the moment, they are spark like.  Here today and gone tomorrow, it it what I feel with those cases.  This is why I hope and want my creations to carry something meaningful.
