So, after reading the article about the love songs of the Bedouin I began thinking about he role that lyrics and poetry have played in my life. As a hopeless romantic, I pride myself in being able to appreciate the words and emotion behind some of the worlds best poems while listening to some of the sappiest love songs ever written. Yes. I am one of those girls. An any case, I find it intriguing that these songs are used to release emotional tension and to satisfy the need to express emotions as well. Both the receiver and the sender are using the peice as a tool and supposedly both find satisfaction through it. Poetry is used in the same way. We write poems for people, find poems that express our emotion, or we recieve poems that help us understand the way someone else feels.
I think that the lyrics of a song make it so intriguing. A well-written song lasts forever and this can be attributed to the fact that its lyrics touch people deeply. We express ourselves and everyone knows that a good song can get you through a break-up, help you in a rebellion, help make a happy moment, or create a romantic situation. So, think about why that song is "your" song and why you listen to that one jam a hundred times a day.
Are you saying something that you really aren't saying?
