I couldn't have put it better myself
I used to always have these arguments with Hazem about what makes a song good! Even though him and I had extremely similar tastes in music, we used to love the same songs for very different reasons; he focuses on the melody and I definately focus on the lyrics. In the last few days, a friend of mine (Sameh), whom I actually do not know very well (we actually make fun of the fact that we only see each other at weddings and occassions!), was sending me two songs that were very unknown and I absolutely LOVED them. When I asked him why he sent me those two songs in particular, all he could say was that he just had a hunch that I'd like them, especially that I am "the type that can really get touched by a good song. It just really hits you how much meaning and clarity there could be in one song". My jaw dropped! I couldn't have put it better myself. And he went on to predict more about me which was just so amazingly accurate! For example, he asked me "do u play the same song sometimes over and over, because u feel it just matches ur mood? and then maybe a week later, it just no longer a fit and u move on to a new song?". Again, my jaw just dropped! Where's Hazem now so that I can finally explain WHY lyrics mean more to me than the melody! I just get so impressed by how artists can really express an inner feeling you have so verbally. How they choose the correct words, how the melody expresses the unsaid, it just all fascinates me. I love how a song can just really move me, and I just feel the emotions behind the words all through my body, and its because of the CHOICE of words. So there you have it guys, there is alot more to WHY I post the lyrics of certain songs rather than others at a particular time; its coz at that time, that song expresses everything IN me that I cant seem to express. Look at little deeper ;) Bravo Sameh!
