When I hear something like 'Total Eclipse of the Heart' or pretty much anything written by Jim Steinman, or if I have to listen to the braying idiocy of modern country, where some asselope takes yet another jingoistic phrase like 'Don't Count yer Chickens' and turns it into a rollicking tune, when I hear one of those awful American Idol singers flailing away at some pop standard, when I hear music like that, I get depressed. There is no other word for it. Don't tell me music can't be depressing....Would that it were true.
