And there's some sort of colloquial formula (I don't know how accurate it is) where you count the seconds after you see the lightning, until you hear the thunder, and it's supposed to correlate to how far away the central part of the storm is. So I agree; the lyrics are backwards. Way to not read a word I wrote. No one was talking about a single lightning strike. I think everyone knows light travels faster than sound... Also, it's 3 seconds per km. | ||

I built this synthy legato, 'ping' sound routed through a lowpass filter and ran it through a bunch of guitar pedals. I come up with a little cascading part that wound up as the intro and verses of a song called 'Fireflies.' I have insomnia and I've always had a tough time falling asleep for as long as I can remember. I wanted to sing about my inability to sleep in a whimsical way that portrayed the condition as lighthearted and almost more of a 'blessing' than a curse. It's ironic that when sleep and I cannot bring ourselves to meet is often when inspiration strikes hardest. I'd just been on vacation to Iowa the week before I wrote the song and was amazed at how many fireflies came out at dusk. I didn't really have to think about making a connection between insomnia and lighting bugs, it just sort of happened and the song basically wrote itself. It was a lot of fun."" So.. he has insomnia and a bunch of fireflies appears and writes a song about it.. That equals "deep"? How is this any different from all the artists writing lyrics while they're high. The lyrics came out pretty damn dumb if you ask anyone. It may have a "deep" meaning to him, but it's really just a bunch of gibberish in the end. The music is pretty catchy, I'll give it that. | ||

When you're talking about determining qualitative values to objects, anecdotal evidence proves nothing. It's possible to prove that something is sub-par when it is compared to either a specific standard or a proxy of said standard. At that point, the "goodness" and "badness" is determined not by subjective opinion but is instead a scale of how close one object is similar to another. | ||

It's the abstraction of normally coherent objects in order to describe an incoherent experience. It is inherently inconsistent and inherently fragmented to performatively reflect the subject it is discussing. It's both a description and a recreation of a subjective experience--that's what makes it supposedly "deep." Personally I think the wonderful thing about the lyrics is not the content of the words but the phonetic experience one has in the both the rhythm and the rhyme scheme of the song. But that's just me. | ||

Uhhh, you should clarify that because it sounds like youre saying music should be manufactured to be as similar to each other as possible within each genre. Last time I checked, music, as with any art form, is about being the opposite of manufactured. Its about expressing yourself in your own way, not by some preset standard. Unless, of course, youre talking about mainstream music. Then I would agree with you about having specific and measurable standards for music genres. Of course in that case it would be easier to measure which songs are "good" by using record sales as a standard. | ||

I personally think the lyrics to John Lennon's "Imagine" are pretty poorly written on a philosophical level. The tune is awesome, and the delivery of the message is great, but the message itself is self-defeating, cliche and a tad bit self-righteous too. I also think U2 has some tooth-grindingly bad lyrics. However, whenever you touch the Beatles or U2 it's like you've insulted the great white gods whose wrath must be appeased and people jump all over you. Seriously. Try criticizing U2 in public, for anything, especially for being an "okay rock band with only one or two songs I like"... and people will pull out the shotguns. ALSO!!- "It kills me not to know this but I've already forgotten what the color of her eyes were" grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr | ||
