A lovely danceable melody, the perfect pop music to fill dancefloors, accompanied by lyrics that in eerie perfection describe manic depression. "True Faith" by New Order sets a disco tune that fills dance floors to a lyric in which a drug addict tells his day to day life.īut almost never the contrast between music and lyrics has been as drastic and radical as in 10,000 Maniacs’ song "Like the Weather". Echo & The Bunnymen’s "Ocean Rain" sounds like the romantic ballad you want to hear while holding your lover in your arms, nice and warm while it rains outside, but its lyrics are anything but romantic. "Enola Gay" by OMD tells the dramatic story of the atom bomb dropped on Japan at the final stages of the second World War, while accompanied by danceable electronic music. "The A Team" by Ed Sheeran, about a young girl selling her body to buy drugs but sung to the tunes of a nice acoustic ballad, is a recent example.

It does not happen that often that the mood of the lyrics and the mood of the music of a song seem to totally contradict each other, and yet the result turns out just perfectly fine.
