In such a diversity it was impossible I should be disposed to melancholy.

I think every human being has a level of melancholy in life and in general.

Much melancholy has devolved upon mankind, and it is detestable to me that might will triumph in the end.

There's a lot of melancholy in my tracks.

It's true, there's a lot of melancholy in my music. I don't know why, I'm not a melancholy person. I've always been drawn to it. Ever since I was a kid, if I had an album I would play the ballads on repeat.

Melancholy has ceased to be an individual phenomenon, an exception. It has become the class privilege of the wage earner, a mass state of mind that finds its cause wherever life is governed by production quotas.

I'm not writing just about melancholy stuff anymore, I made a point to cover a wide range of emotions.
