A Song for Love

It’s really hard to listen to music, and not wonder what the lyrics mean…did the artist have a particular girl or relationship in mind when he wrote that love song? Or is it like a writer penning a novel..a story being told, and not actually about anything or anyone?

It’s even more so true, though, when you know the artist, and wonder if you can fit yourself into the nooks and crannies…and then wonder, who actually IS there. The songs are surely not about you…or are they? And if they aren’t, why aren’t they?

I live and love in a circle of artists – we are all in some way a creative – whether it’s of lyrics or prose or visual arts – and thus the heart on canvas (or audio) comes up very often, to various results.

And we find ourselves praying to have a song written about us,or for us – and dreading those bitter “ex” songs…but the worst fear of all? Not warranting songs at all. Cause that would truly prove we just aren’t all that significant, right?

Or maybe, just maybe, a song is just a song.
