The beauty of misery

I got to hear this song after a gap of nearly 4 years (am not sure if it is correct but it feels so)...My friend who drives us to the office in the morning started playing some Pak songs and this was one amongst them.....The song’s memory in my mind was so haunting that I couldn't help but searched for it on the net. It was when I saw the video that I recollected the times I first saw it. Khamaj by Fuzon is one of those typical songs which have a strong air of sadness associated with them but nevertheless you like it...Its strange how we always like to be happy, like to be surrounded by happy people but still go back to those that are heartbreakingly forlorn and fall in love with them. A friend of mine once said "Hey I like listening to that sad number in 7/G when I feel low". I thought "How the heck will a sad thing help you when you already are miserable". I don’t completely agree with her but these melancholic tunes are something that I go back to and listen just for the emotion and melody they have in them.
