In my opinion people who write quality music are the most talented writers around. To set thoughtful lyrics to a provoking melody is admirable. Whenever I hear a tune like that I am in awe of the creativity behind it. Music is a universal language and can mean many different things to different people. Nothing else is like that. I heard a song yesterday entitled Because of You. It brought back feelings that I have for my one time neice who falsely accused my brother of some very evil things. I am much more careful now with children from my Sunday school class than I used to be because of her. I never imagined teenagers would say the things she did to get attention and because of that I don’t trust any accusation a teenager makes about anyone – a teacher, aunt, uncle, grandparents. I lost a bit of the innocense I used to have because of her and it defines the way I write now and see the world. The lyrics of the song Because of You echo my sentiments and I’m proud of the person who wrote the song. Wish I had that kind of talent.
