Some songs have upbeat melodies but, if you listen to the
words, these songs are actually sad.
Here are a few examples:
Payphone (Maroon 5) – “If fairy tales did exist, I would
still be holding you like this.”
Maroon
5 has a couple of other “bipolar” songs – Misery, Makes Me Wonder, etc
Summer Sunshine (The Corrs) – “Now that you’ve left me,
there’s no returning.”
Hurricane Drunk (Florence + The Machine) – “And in the
crowd, I see you with someone else.”
Viva La Vida (Coldplay) – “Just a puppet on a lonely string.
Oh who would ever want to be king?”
So on a bipolar day, you know which songs I would be listening to. :)
