Hi Mick. Interesting topic indeed. There have always been artists who sing songs that years later people don't know what they meant. I'd like to see what happened if Lennon or McLean posted thier lyrics on a site like this back before they recorded and released them and asked opinions. I've always been taught "if you have to explain a lyric then it's not a clear enough lyric". Now I don't think that can apply to an abstract lyric very well. Then again I wonder what a person that writes in the abstract hopes to accomplish with thier song? Great thread
