Thread Name: Should songs make sense?
Subject: RE: Should songs make sense?
GUEST Weerover said, in part:
A number of my favourite songs jump from first person to third person and back again for no apparent reason and are none the worse for it.
The unannounced and unremarked jump from one speaker/viewpoint to another is an extremely common thing, almost a hallmark of the old traditional ballads.
