Counterpoint is cool, but a lot of the time is carries the emotional weight of listening to someone solve sudoku. Objectively, Bach lacks the skill and emotional depth to write a song about that lonely feeling you get when you drink too much and get kicked out of the party (a foundational principal of Country Western music) |

For a wide range of such feelings, some can regard as "lonely", as they develop, achieve a triumph, a catharsis, and finally a recapitulation and a comforting, secure resolution -- communication, interpretation of human experience, emotion, i.e., art.

Bach wrote it for solo violin, but it's been arranged for solo piano, full orchestra, etc.
