Well...for me it is "Lincoln Duncan and that exactly for the following reason which I could not have phrased better than you C Flat and so I copied it : "The guy is such a perfectionist, not just about the musical content or the lyrical sentiment but the actual sound of every word and it's relationship with the following words."

Guest DON !!! this is the song you mean by the way and funny enough for me it was the same as for you...this line stayed with me for many years and i did not know from which song. but thanks to the mudcatters I was told that this line is the first line of the second verse of "Lincoln Duncan"..

I do not know what it is with this song and I dont care about the actual meaning of the words but it feels as if could not have ever choosen other words for this particular melody...its sound and solid and not one millimeter not "fitting" together in soudn and words..amazing!

Anyone "knows" why some songlines stay with us and speak to us because of their match of melody and words so long ..why some speak to some and others speak to others ? What EXACTLY is going on there?
