Mr Red (re: "Songs and Love are both stronger than they appear." ):

concept for a song - yes, hook line or even title - er - IMOHO - no.

Well, I only meant it as a concept -- a "headline", as Jack the Sailor suggested.

Here's an alternate, more "newspaper-y" one:

"Lover praises hidden strength of songs, love -- claims beloved is singer, their love, song"

Now, for the verse on the hidden strength of love, I'm using the ol' cliche of the rose -- but I'm expanding it from the typical metaphor of the blossom, (which fades) and thorn (which wounds) to the strong roots underground, which survive the coldest winters, and sends forth new life year after year. I think the same metaphors show up in song after song because of limited space of lyrics -- there's not much room for introducing an image the listener hasn't heard before. When you equate roses with love, you don't have to worry about the audience not getting it.

The problem is, roses are not a good metaphor for a song -- at least, the quality of songs that I want to highlight: something that seems to be a trifle at the surface, but in actuality is the strongest human beings can create -- that can change the world: topple a despot, or heal a broken heart.
