I agree that it seems to be easier to talk about songwriting in general terms.

As far as specifics go - it is difficult for me to analyze a reaction to lyrics or a tune or a song (if I am lucky enough to hear lyric and tune together ) I can report a reaction - favourable or un - but rarely can I figure out why.

On the other hand - jeri - goosebumps may not be an informative or contstructive critique - but they are a critique!
