I take my hat off to you


If you listen to every great song, this may bar a few, there is always a deep emotion seated within the lyrics. When artists sing, they are doing something they love, they have a passion that leaks into their song and it is never easily hidden. Song lyrics can be powerful. They can spark off inspiration and open up ideas and thoughts that people didn't even realise they had; they can be the key to solving questions. A song isn't just 'a racket' or 'soppy', don't get me wrong, many can be, but I think that if we listened to the lyrics of songs more intently, we would hear so much more; built up anger, a longing for love, sadness, loneliness or simply reaching out for answers. Song lyrics hold passion and they can be a real comfort to people; we can all relate to some song at different times in our lives. And these great artists deserve a round of applause for being brave enough to share their passion and hurts with their fans.
