April's Showers Bring May Flowers

I did not realize I didn't post at all in the month of April. How horrible. I must be slipping in my strict routine of blogginess. How about just a few quick thoughts then?

I often wonder how people who write lyrics are able to express their thoughts so eloquently. They say very obvious things, but in ways that you'd never thought of them before. For example, this line from Ivoryline "The outside doesn't feel, what the inside knows is real." Obviously, showing the disconnect between our actions and our feelings. Why couldn't you just say that? Well, you couldn't. It wouldn't be nearly as attractive. It's these little anecdotes that keep my faith in the poetic ability of my generation alive. They're quite rare, these little quotes, but they are gems in the rough indeed. You just have to say them with a little flair, and hope that the sun catches the drops as they fall. Bend them into little prisms of color, and enjoy it from a distance.

Well, that's all for now!!
