say a word or two to brighten my day.
one thing i like about the whole concept of music is the way lyrics and melody work together - the fact that lyrics can have such a deeper, more poignant effect when they are together with the perfect melody. it changes the emphasis, sometimes, it changes the intention, it changes your focus. to me, this is the magic of a really good song. it's the perfection of music, and the most admirable of artistic skills.
one of my most recent favorite examples of this magic is the hamburg song by keane.
