Hi, Peace to All Here--
I must admit that I am a bit nervous about posting this question. But after a fair amount of consideration, I have decided to go ahead. I hope it does not seem silly--I am totally sincere.
Music is a big part of my life, and over time I have noticed that there are certain songs ( both with lyrics and without, but for my immediate purpose, I am talking about ones with words) that just seem to cast more of a "spell" than others (best way I know how to state it). Of course, I realize that it just may be my personal tastes, and I think I am about to show my "age" here to boot--and I am not even sure if everyone is familiar with the tunes I am going to bring up as examples, but I have always been more drawn to those performers who actually write their own lyrics. Among these (IMO) great, "spell-casting" artists are people like Edie Brickell, Joni Mitchell, Ann and Nancy Wilson, and, of course, Stevie Nicks. (There are some men, too).
I was just wondering if anyone else thinks so--and the conversation does not have to dwell on these particular artists--in fact, since my daughter married, I have been missing out on lots of new music that she always brought to my attention. (She is a "monotheistic" Wiccan and astrologist--I know it sounds strange, but she is.)
I guess I just wondered if anyone might like to discuss this subject?
InPeace,
InLove
