Why does music always have to be about something?

I find it kind of annoying how people sometimes have hidden meanings in songs even if it is a track with a very plain title.
Why cant there just be artists that, for example, have a song that they made and then named it by what it sounds like.
-Or a song that is based on a dream.
Even if an artist makes a song with a title like "red sun" you'll probably find that that is either a track with a meaning or... or something to do with a drug-related experience :stongue:
you find that a lot of tracks are about love, even when they are coming from a guy.
oh well :conf: |

| music is meant to describe very complex emotions... that is what artists go for... I'm not sure why anything would be written with no meaning. does that help? |

| Bah, I hate all the "deeper meaning messages". Listen to it for fun, not to analyze it like it's a literature class. |

| If songs didnt express emotion and feeling... you would be listening to silence. |

nnnnnnnnah.
Radiohead made a song called treefingers.
Now, although we dont know what this song is about, I can guarantee that it is about something. I can make a song with the same sort of sound and I just name it by the way it sounds or what I imagine in my head....

| That's part of the nature of art. Art can have different impacts on different people. Sometimes the artist does have a message they want to communicate, but more often artistic work is meant to stand on its own to multiple interpretations, including none at all. |

exactly. "creation seems to come out of imperfection"; whatever inspired you to create something will be encased in your creation. |
