Great Lyrics

Last winter, Tj and I decided to make CDs featuring songs with lyrics we love. This one's mine.

I love all kinds of music -- instrumental and vocal music in every genre -- but lyrics have a special place in my heart. When a song has great lyrics, it means you can listen to it again and again and the words still seem fresh, even years after the first time.

Some of these songs are what you might call profound, and some of them are just songs I love the words to. A few of them are special to me for personal reasons, but mostly they're simply songs that I never get tired of listening to.
