Thanks for the posts.
If anything, I’ve discovered the scope of the emotional connection, intensity, and complexity of the poetry within this group that integrates with what we call "music." Some lyrics just make you smile. Others seek to produce a cognition where it appears, at least, that they (the songwriter/poet) "figured it out" and willing to help us work through the chaos. Or simply comment on the absurdity of it all. Then, there are lyrics that are just plain silly. Which is okay, too.
I recall that some of those messages resonated with me based on my life conditions and emotional state at the time. White Snake’s "And here I go again on my own" was one such personal message, back in 1986.
