blue

Aka Meloncholia, often confused with soul or rock music. See also "The Blue Period" a term used in Art to define to the works produced by Spanish painter Pablo Picasso between 1901 and 1904, when he painted essentially monochromatic paintings in shades of blue. In music, the "blue" is often the sound of emotional loss or heartbreak, with a 1-4-5 progression using dominant 7th or minor 7th chords to give a dissonant tonality. Some EDM is bluesy. Many people say Robert Johnson invented the blues, but they never had the true blues, or they'd know better. Blues is old as life.

man 1: dang, I'm feeling low and unworthy and I can't seem to make it better. I need to express this in some creative outlet. Hmm, maybe I'll play music nd sing about meloncholia.
Man 2: yeah ok, that sure sounded Bluesy
Man 1: it's the intervals I played they have a tonal resonance that resembles how I feel.
Man2: Art imitates life...
Man 2: hey, did you hear the new BB King & Eric Clapton album, they says they king of the blues
Man 1: eff that, they're rich and married, they ain't got the blues, maybe when they was young they had em, but now they soul rockers or some other genre. see that homeless guy singing to himself with the harmonica, he's got the true blues
Man 1: sorry man, I'm kinda strict about proper labels.
Man 2: dang
Man 2: but artist can imitate others to create works, it's like therapy or a way of understanding
Man 1: in that case, let's go paint the town "red"
Man 2: now you're talkin'
