"these old love letters
Well, i just can`t keep cause like the gambler says read `em and weep and the dawn don`t rescue me no more without your love i`m nothing at all Like an empty hall its a lonely fall Since you`ve been gone its a losing battle Stampeding cattle, they rattle the walls And the sun don`t shine anymore And the rains fall down on my door" |

to be clear.
You actually simulate somebody else's contrived experience? How does hearing of another's experience help? Ive just looked up how many humans have been born on this planet. (I dont know how they have come to this figure so cant verify) But the figure is 107,602,707,791 and these people writing songs think they are doing a service telling people like its new? |

Your argument holds no water.
You may as well say the same thing about all books,newspapers etc etc, anything with words, be it fact or fiction, is written by an individual. They are relaying their experience or their imagination to the reader. Is this superficial , is this trite and superfluous because it's ' not new ' ? |

music is the loveliest art. Purely rational beings will never appreciate it, but they are the ones it would most deeply benefit...in the moments when they do listen to it...if they had the facility to understand it and appreciate it. like everything not everyone does.

Much fiction I believe is superfluous yes, ones where stories lack moral teaching especially.
Non fiction less so since they are factual or close to factual accounts. If a song is being factual account of events (which they seldom are) then they are relevant to the songwriter only. Somebody else might have had a similar experience but again thats a personal one so why would another wish to hear of it? History would constitute the collection of events that are relevant to the collective, not running accounts of individual's feelings so imo those are more relevant and hold basis. Im essentially saying the vast majority hear the tune and the sound of the verse, they dont instinctively (in my opinion) deconstruct the message within, and even when people do, its a second hand irrelevant experience. |

....there are rare occasions ofc where songs have messages like folk songs etc.
Some are clever almost proverbs. But they are rare, the vast majority is just popular twaddle regurgitated filth sold to the masses who should by now know better. |

A question for you Facts;
If theres any sincerity in the manufacture of songs then why does Eric Clapton's 'Tears in heaven' have a price tag on it? |
