Re: the power of music!
I can understand liking a song for the lyrics but I've never found myself moved by a song based on its lyrics. I think when the emotions you're supposed to be feeling are articulated and expressed by the actual artist it somehow cheapens the emotional impact of the song. Sort of like how in a really good horror film you don't see the bad guy's face or find out anything about him or it because no matter how ****ed up the writer can make him it just can't compare to the power of the human imagination.
Edit: Obviously art, subjective, fq.
