as far as lyrical hhc goes, has anyone else noticed how many of the songs' lyrics focus on lost love, love not working out, wishing for a love that you cant have. . .
i know thats a pretty big generalization, (and of course there are exceptions) but just wondering if anyone else had noticed it. it just strikes me as kind of a paradox that hhc (being happy, chipper, hyper) has lyrics which are usually sad in nature.

Image.... you are in the middle of the packed dance floor... the room is really hot, your dancing hard to the beat, everyone around you is going hard, the DJ brings over the mix into say Heart of gold, you can hear it coming in, it give you goose bumps over your arms, boom the track kicks in with the vocals.... everyone on the floor screams, whistles / horns blowning with hands in the air... it brings a tear to your eye it's so powerful.
The words to the track just make you stronger.

And what about the bass drum! Always in a mix when heart of gold is coming my headphone is gonna explode
But almost every song in every genre goes about love? It's not so trange because you can not sing about your toothbrush

Sander do you mean that you are happy about it or that the mix is just loud?
Generally if the mix is really loud it means it is not perfectly mixed.

I mean both. I love that bass, but I don't know.. compare to other songs it is louder. When I'm listening to a mix I have to volume to the max that my ears can handle.. But if heart of gold is coming then I must drop the volume a little bit otherwise the bass drum will sound euhm.. well not distorded but not clean anymore.

Well the DJ didn't adjust the gain correctly. I'll play heart of gold for you inside my next DJ set next week and you tell me if it happens.

hahah. . . well aside from singing about toothbrushes. . . hiphop/rap has the whole "im awesome" theme going on, and older alternative definitely wasn't about love all the time. . . just interesting how different genres often lend themselves to a certain theme of lyrics.

Agree with Silver, as long as the vocals aint too cheesy, it's damn powerful when summat like that drops in. E.g, Love of My Life, especially the original version. It just makes my hairs stand up on end!

I've noticed that most HHC songs are based around love...except stuff like children of the night

Thats what makes it HAPPY....you hear a song that reminds you of a old boy/girlfriend and you remember the good times the bad times and how you got through them. The songs revolve around love because love is so powerful. Love can bring any emotion to life...Happy, Sad, Mad, Joy, Anger...thats the best part of it. Then you put the lyrics into a song with a melody and a bangin beat...WOW, the impact is undescribable.

Well if you think about it, the majority of songs from every genre are focused on love (I would say about 90% of all the songs ever made)....

EXACTLY. The theme of love, and love lost is the main reasons i love happy hardcore so very much. I am a huge sap I guess and very emotional. Love has always been the main reason my being.
Dunno how many times I’ve cried a little on the dance floor all the while dancing harder and harder. Feeling so much happiness and sadness at the same time… so much energy and emotion. The feeling truly in overwhelming!
