Thread Name: Debate: It's Just a Song
Subject: RE: Debate: It's Just a Song
'I have to say I love you in a song' who was that now? But that theme has been re-iterated over and over and people still don't seem to get sick of it.
Recently, I wrote a song (from the woman's point of view) about falling in love with the best friend's daughter. It is a good song, even if I say so myself but the idea is hard to take for most people. So does one drop it or record it? This is often the dilemna?
And one can throw it away by saying it is just a song. But it is also a very real experience for some and probably better than all those folk songs about rape and pillage.
But of course it will only work if I am totally convinced and focused when I sing it.
