Music used to be so Good

"There is a crack in everything, that's how the light gets in."

— Leonard Cohen, Anthem

I miss when artists used to write lyrics that would have you pausing mid-scrub on a plate, mid-sweep on the floor. It's a lost art now that everything is made for the general market; the drive to creep into your heart has drifted off the highway. Now it's all just popping pills: next album release, next Billboard top 100, same old chord progression for familiarity.

Also, filing lawsuits against chord progressions is literally a stupid thing to do on earth. Because a song sounds exactly the same as yours? Please, just tell me you've got a generic taste in music and that you fail to see beyond those 4/4 beats they give you to stare at the beauty of the other things that are in the songs an artist produces.

Anyway, that's just my two cents. Good music is scarce right now, and all the capitalist in the industry are ruining it more and more.
