"remember, after all these are only songs, you know..." (Paul McCartney)
Can I start a PMC vs John Lennon debate on the matter?
well if you want
I guess Paul said this in an itw after the Manson tragedy, meaning that there was too much consideration/analyse about songs lyrics in general
And John agreed on this many times saying that journalists were always finding some hidden messages in his lyrics while there wasn't, and many of them he wrote with nonsense, just for the rimes.
Of course John took the things seriously when turning to politics, protest, etc... and there was the famous fighting with "how do you sleep / silly love songs", but still, many artists like Dylan for example, are saying the same thing :"don't take my songs too seriously, I sometimes even don't know myself what I wanted to mean in my lyrics", so...
of course I understand that music, and songs can be milestones in someone's life. I love music, it's my passion, but hey, there are things in the world far more serious than MK's setlists...and that's why I like Pottel's sentence, I think it sums it up to us all : sometimes we must calm down, take a breath, and remember : all we are talking is just "songs"
