I have a fondness for rock songs that start out sweet and then --POW!!!-- the song turns ugly and violent. I guess this expresses some kind of weird feelings that I have. Doesn't everyone have some kind of angst?
Right now I am listening to "Don't Cry" by Neil Young, a singer/composer I really enjoy. This song is full of bitterness and longing.
Other songs with "sweet, then sour" moments include Creep by Radiohead.
For anyone who knows me very well, you will understand why I like this song and other "sweet/sour" songs. If you don't know me that well -- here's a clue^^.
A Belgian girls choir recorded Creep, too, but their version is mostly "sweet" and very, very moving!
A quintessential example of "Sweet/sour" with the emphasis on "Sour" is The Pretender by the Foo Fighters!!
