songs to love and die by

you know ive got this theory, there are two kinds of people in the world. there are music people and there are lyric people. you know, the lyrics people tend to be analytical, all about the meaning of the song. theyre the ones you see with the cd insert out five minutes after buying it, pouring over the lyrics, interpretting the hell out of it. then there are music people, who could care less for the lyrics as long as it has a good beat and you can dance to it. sometimes i think it would be easier to be a music girl instead of a lyric girl, but since im not just let me say this... SOMETIMES THINGS FIND YOU WHEN YOU NEED THEM TO FIND YOU. I BELIEVE THAT. AS FOR ME, ITS USUALLY SONG LYRICS.

music is a necessity. i need it like i need to breathe. as long as it has a well arranged melody i will listen to is, but if it has great lyrics...that is a new feeling entirely. one i wish that i could write about, but perhaps im not suppose to be able to write about it. perhaps its only meant to be mine. i am a lyric girl. i want to know what the artist is thinking, feeling through their song. i want to know the story theyre telling and whether or not their story is like mine. sometimes a total stranger tells my story better than i ever could and for those brief minutes i dont feel so misunderstood and alone. sometimes in the moments that it counts the most there are no words to be found, its like words had never been written. and then when you find them in a song its like finding a piece of yourself you thought youd never get back. lyrics have saved me, brought me back from the edge more than anything else. sometimes i wonder what the world would be like without music, what my life would be like without its soundtrack. i have come to this conclusion...if music, chord and lyric alike, ceased to exist then so would i.
