Music & Lyrics

Music is an integral part of my life. I appreciate any and all forms of music..almost. But, between words and melody, I've always felt more connected to words - lyrics. This is in no way to say that I like music less..but in debates where people say music makes the lyrics, I beg to differ. I'd say it's lyrics that define the music.

Falling Slowly - OST from the movie ONCE is my current favorite. The lyrics just speak volumes.

"I don't know you
But I want you
All the more for that
Words fall through me
And always fool me
And I can't react
And games that never amount
To more than they're meant
Will play themselves out

Take this sinking boat and point it home
We've still got time
Raise your hopeful voice you have a choice
You've made it now

Falling slowly, eyes that know me
And I can't go back
Moods that take me and erase me
And I'm painted black
You have suffered enough
And warred with yourself
It's time that you won

Take this sinking boat and point it home
We've still got time
Raise your hopeful voice you had a choice
You've made it now

Take this sinking boat and point it home
We've still got time
Raise your hopeful voice you had a choice
You've made it now
Falling slowly sing your melody
I'll sing along"

My favorite lines are:
You have suffered enough
And warred with yourself
It's time that you won...

Words from the heart, don't need music to make them heard..they can just be said or sung, with no tunes and no beats. They'll reach their purpose and will be understood by those that need to understand.
