Remind me never to get fairies mad at me.

I've been following this thread for a while and a few questions/comments have occured.

1) In dicussing the pure theory of songwriting (such as it is) it is almost inevitable that we will, from time to time, quote from existing songs to illustrate a point.

2) A certain amount of theory is going to come out during critiques of a specific song.

3) Just as many of us as not would seem to have been writing songs for quite some time and, for many of those who have, a discussion of pure theory could become tiresome very quickly and deprive the discussion of experinced input.

4) Even in a discussion of pure theory one is bound to develope a question of how a given concept applies to a song that one has just written.

5) Which leads me to my question: Is it actually possible to discuss theory and our individual song seperately?
