Q: i often speak metaphorically in my songs that i write. but a good portion of the people i show my lyrics to, dont understand them. should i do that a bit less?
A: to me, if you are just showing the lyrics, that doesn't count as a song. have to play the actual sound of the song. also showing songs to a person is can be a bit awkward, because songs are extremely context sensitive. they only seem to work their best when they are discovered in the natural course of the listener's destiny
