Sparks specifically sang to me today. Sometimes a melody can say what your soul wishes it could. What is it about music that grips our heart? How does it sway us? How does a song sound "sad" or "inspiring" or "reminiscent?"
Like a feeling.
A truly talented songwriter can capture a complete thought in a song, a complete feeling, while still allowing the listener to believe there is more to it. It's like a conversation- say too much at a time and you'll lose your audience.
Few people really know how to converse. Fewer write good songs. Those who do, inspire me.
