Topic: Poems Are Not Songs !!

This song  argues the point , Poems are not Songs,

I cannot relate to having a poem or song come to me that has the magnitude of something like this,

"My Back Pages"

Re: Poems Are Not Songs !!

Hi Wilbaye,

I used to sing this song so long ago now.. It was always only with a certain group  of people who appeared to understand  the lyrics somewhat more then others ?..

Some never  understand the magic of the written word like this.. Its beyond magnificence.

Poems or songs ? who cares whether  great  written works have music or not.. But! these musicians certainly do this piece justice.

Thanks for sharing. Its a good note to retire on.
