The Words that Leap Off the Pages

Lyrics. The words that add together to tell a story in a song.

I think songs and their lyrics can sometimes capture a feeling or emotion better than anything you or I can come up with. Sometimes lyrics may not be enough. The music just might be enough.

I believe that good songwriters are just amazing poets in disguise. That is all a song is really. A poem put to music.

These are a few songs that have some of the best lyrics

Fix You by Coldplay
Better Days by Goo Goo Dolls
What a Wonderful World by Louis Armstrong
Changes by Tupac
