EVERYBODY IS A SONG

People are like Songs

They can be Country, Rock N Roll , Reggae, Disco, Classical, Swing, Folk or Pop
but they are all Music to someone's ears


Many Songs have an unforgettable Melody
but their insipid, uninspired, Lyrics ruin it


Others have brilliant Lyrics that go unheard
buried beneath a cacophony of noise


Far too many Songs have one line hooks
that get stuck in your brain all day long

Some Songs transport you back to simpler times
while others make you wonder about tomorrow

One Song may make you laugh and jump for joy
but another can make you sad enough to cry

Too often you hear the same Song over and over and over
and even if it is great, you stop listening


There are anthems that strike a chord with all of us
and we can recognize them after hearing a single note


Some Songs are robotic and rhythmic
others unique and acapelic


Most Songs rely on a Producer
and very few would ever get heard without a Program Director

Every once in a while you discover a Song that has it all,
brilliant lyrics soaring atop a rhapsodic melody
that grabs you like a wave and sweeps you out to sea
These Songs are my Friends
and I always listen to the entire Album

Some Songs are total Rip Offs
that you’ve heard a million times before


A lot of Songs are contractually obligated filler
that accompany a lonely Hit Single.

We organize Songs by Mood, Genre, Length, Titles and Tempo
but it is usually how they make us feel
that determines how much and how often we listen
and try to understand that song


Sometimes we start off on the wrong note
and we need to listen a few times before we can truly appreciate them

Of course I am preaching to choir
and I probably sound like a broken record



WHAT ARE PEOPLE HEARING FROM YOU?
and what are you hearing from me?
