Sometimes it's only a certain metre and not the lyrics, sometimes it's the way the lyrics evoke a certain feeling. There are instances where I am not even aware that what I am responding to is a certain song, dawns on me much later :) All art is a response to something. <br /><br />Have the loveliest day!Nilanjana Bosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08656370320322301943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4794648014067102242.post-13569817839250043012018-01-08T19:58:46.931-05:002018-01-08T19:58:46.931-05:00Hi Renee - I wish I was musical and I'm on the...Hi Renee - I wish I was musical and I'm on the edge of the techie aspect ... but perhaps I'll catch up now I'm getting settled here.
