There's a song I heard on the radio with a lyric wishing an old (possibly estranged) friend many "blessings," and one of them was:
"May all your favorite bands stay together."
I cracked up.
Sarcasm and truth. Some people care a LOT about their music.
There was part of an interview with Dawes, the artist, after the song played on the radio, and he told that it took an entire year for that lyric to turn into an entire song.
This causes me to reflect on my quickly-written poems, my get-it-done art style, and my general approach to life. He let that song age like good cheese.
I don't think it will change the way I act, yet. But I will think about what he said every time I hear the lovely sarcastic tune.
It's worth it to put a year of time into a song if someone is going to listen to it for years to come, don't you think?
