*sigh*

well I guess..
like I said before, I don't think either is *superior* to the other.. music 
with lyrics/not lyrics I mean...

why did I even argue over this it was so stupid.
I don't even remember how it got started..
oh wait.. I remember..
Have you ever gotten a strong emotional imprint from something? Like a point 
in your life,.. where the air happen to smell a certain way, when you lived 
at a old home.. do you remember? little things.. just flash images.. 
especially when they are significant to your life, everybody can conjure up 
images that will spark a feeling.. an emotion.. it's almost like a mix of an 
emotion and an idea.. It means something, yet at the same time, it sparks an 
emotion, like love, safety, facination, danger, anger, fear,... many more... 
and their all mixes.. and all as different as snowflakes..

we were arguing about whether music is a purer form of communication. Or 
commication even.. 
Yeah, you can use different words of different flavors.. contrast the 
meanings.. each word like a piece of that snowflake.  BZZZZZZZZZ I'm wrong. 
.. lyrics, used with an artists touch, can be any as expressive as music.
I guess I tend not to think much about the artsy side of lyrics.. I keep 
hearing the local radio station bullshit going and going through my head. I 
guess that would be the data that the word "lyrics" produces in my head. 
Instantly it conjors up the idea of po(o)p music.
oh well.. I'm dumb, lol guess I better sign off the list.. afterall, it's not 
the dumb dance music list. Oh what's that? I think I hear scatman john in the 
background!
