I'm sorry if someone DISSAPOINTED you.
but some of us work our ass off to come up with the best lyrics we can by meticulously combing over every precious word, spending hours and hours on our craft. I spend over 30 hours a week doing this and I have a full time job also as a computer technician. Plus I have a family. So when I see lyrical rubbish that I could of wrote when I was twelve it tends to flare my Hemorrhoids.
Yes Brian made a great point of not judging the art because its pointless.
But there is a bar of standards that most songwriters look at..
That's usually what's playing on the Radio.
I and others who focus on the lyrics don't feel this made the bar.
But the song did meet the two other bars.
one being melody line
and the other Vocal Likeability.
So I agree that "two out of three aint bad"
which coincidently has 2 out of three also.
So yes Brian did a positive thing by trying to change our thinking and focus on how the song got there and not whether it was worthy.
I still stand by my assesment that these lyrics suck and if I wrote them I would hope someone would tell me that they did..
Anyway Who Are you.. My Mother.
again Sorry to Disappoint you..
I'll be sure to get you a firckin Hallmark card.
