Tough choice between me performing a bit of forum necromancy or deciding to start what would be the third thread of such subject ("Songs that Make Your Bottom Lip Tremble", methinks).
Oh, wait.
*sniffs burning sage and smudges arcane inscription*
Necromancy it be. Not that tough, I'm afraid.
The Red Hot Chili Pepper's newest foray, Stadium Arcadium contains the song "Snow". It is, without doubt, the most upbeat 'sad' song I've heard (or its it the saddest 'peppy' song?). On one level there are the lyrics of a soul lost in an oblivion of uncertainty that is looking for a path to move forward. On another level, the guitar 'tinkle' that is the underlying base of the whole song is evocative of a somber winter's snowscape, not unlike the teasing violins in the first movement of Vivaldi's "Winter"â yet another piece whose embrace of winter's stillness captivates the listener.

Political Correctness is the idea that you can foster tolerance in a diverse world through the intolerance of anything that strays from a clinical standard.
