This was a great story. Generally when I read articles where authors try to explain something like music or sex or love from a psychological or physiological framework I am left feeling like the elementary aged children on The Simpsons who are sitting in a semi-circle listening to Prof Frink explain the vast intricacies of a play toy.
Minor Keys was fun to read
I couldn't believe my eyes when I read the names Garnet Rogers and Rufus Wainwright. They are both in my top five list of favourite musicians. I grew up listening to Garnet (I'm 23 now) and I discovered Rufus about 5 years ago. I have suffered from depression, anxiety and an eating disorder since my early teens, and Garnet's music in particular has often been both profoundly comforting and provocatively painful. His voice is like no other in the world. I understand, though, that when you're not prepared to hear something, the urge to turn it off is very strong. At times, sad music helps me release my pain, at others it is a painful reminder of feelings I am keeping hidden and am not ready to deal with. I will never stop listening, though.
This is an all-time favourite article of mine. Simply fabulous—I keep coming back to it again and again. Bravo
