Isn't Christmas supposed to be a happy time? Then why are these particular songs so popular and why won't the worst of them (Christmas Shoes for example) go away? Everyone talks about how the holidays are a prime time for people to commit suicide from depression and these songs that go out of their way to be depressing don't help a damn thing. |||Well, I make it a point not to listen to depressing songs. I think that those songs are actually the songwriters getting something off their chests. BTW, I think that "I'll be home for Christmas" is kind of depressing bc at the end, you realize that being home is only in the person's dreams and that he/she will not really be able to get home for Christmas. I understand that song was popular during ww2. Might have been therapeutic for servicemen stationed far from home.|||Its not the songs its the people who listen to them if they get depressed they should listen to more up beat music it is a choice.I doubt any song ever caused a suicide,it is Far to complicated to blame a song of any kind,for such an act.|||Well these artists are just expressing their feelings through song. If they are feeling depressed on the holidays, being musicians they write a song about it and perform it. That's how many other depressing songs get written as well.|||Well some people actually like Christmas song but I do find some of them to be a bit depressing but I avoid listening to those.|||idk.. lol i dont like christmas =]
i can appreciate the history and the ideals behind it.. but i am not a fan of my family.. lol they disowned me =]
