Hi Jeanette, hi Jonetsu, "Tränen lügen nicht" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QDS73rC4d8c Deutsche Schlagermusik that was also an instrumental in the first place https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soleado . To claim that "Tears don't lie" is a lie. The reason that people today still get paid for mourning https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Professional_mourning is that tears are a much used weapon for emotional blackmail and to underpin lies. Chocolate could be your friend, when you hit rock bottom, while kisses, brown sugar and similar could/would be frenemies. First several musicians taste love and/or brown sugar and after that they lament. Kisses, tears, brown sugar & Co. give music a cheesy taste, while chocolate makes music hot. Maybe words such as kisses, tears, brown sugar just fit better to rhythms, than other words do, but I don't think so. I guess pathos is a nice musical element of composing, unfortunately not for arrangements or lyrics. For example self-pity of blues lyrics easily could give even good music a bad taste. OTOH especially self-pity of a musician could cover the self-pity of the audience. It allows the audience to taken up in their own self-pity https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weight_(album) .
