Why would you deny that beauty is real? Why would you turn from the gentle sadness that is the passing of the world?
Nothing changes but your life.
Sing to me of the melancholy.
If you can be moved... why not be?

End of this branch
Not enough slots.

Cynicism is all this world deserves.
You will touch nobody. And nothing will touch you in return.
Has a pop song ever made you cry?
Yes.
Then no need to say another word.
There are voids you can fill, and voids you should leave empty. To allow things to better move through you.
Things like... pop music?
Especially pop music. Already growing nostalgic after the very first listen. In ten years -- an emotional cluster bomb.

I need music to feel something.
Everyone does, to different degrees. No true art can survive a cynical slant. It's too fragile.
Music's not real emotion, though, it's manufactured.
It is the most real of all. No true art can survive a cynical slant. It's too fragile.
Most musicians are sellouts. Commercialised sellouts.
Some. Not all. No true art can survive a cynical slant. It's too fragile.
No, I don't cry to pop music.
Even the most innocent pop song has made someone, somewhere cry.
