Message in the Lyrics

[Xanadu]

Well, I'm just placing this here to see if there is any interest in the feelings you have when the words are written together. I think it is connected to the overall message of her music, even if she is unaware of it. I though this may stir something up, and I placed it with the Lyrics Game so I can add to it, as we move along.

This is what I posted over there: I may have an interesting theory here. What started out as a fun game has turned into something we can analyze. Look at topics and words used regularly to find some sort of message or code. It may turn out to be a sort of other understanding.

Well, I have taken all the connecting words and listed them here:

when, before, me, feeling, room, night, sleep, with, up, heaven, feel, receiving, hear, day, in, like, wake, alive, war, fill, it's, eye, enough, sad, man, right, side, you, baby, hear, light, me, hand, star, morning, window, cold, them, him, room, think, weird, in, back, master, touch, stop, off, moment, chance, everywhere, over, with, down, God, look, big, far, warm, home, weather, water, think, before...

...and so on. and poets here want to discuss the metaphors suggested in the themes present here?

Al' could you move some of your thoughts here, as they were certainly on the track of what I was looking for. You organized them very well, and we can also see which words are used repeatedly. Then maybe others can comment.

Well, I'm going to take baby steps here. Much like my recent post on "Pull out the Pin' (BTW I'd like to hear from you Zan and others on that) By this I mean since you have a certain direction in mind; I would like to give my intitial impressions to be bantered back and forth one at a time. Maybe others would join in on this exercise in creativce thinking and writing. O.K. here goes:

My first impression was the frequent use of "Before" This is word has powerful ramifications. It is about TIME, it is about WARNING it is about PREPARATION it is about KNOWLEDGE...Foreboding and prophetic often in context....your turn

I stopped keeping track of this due to lack of interest, , but we have some new members that might have something to add.

Just to fill everyone in, these were connecting words from the Lyrics game. I started to notice certain feelings while searching for the specific words (emotive nouns, verbs, adverbs, adjectives and prepositions) in the lyrics and wanted to start a discussion about it. The words are posted above. Grouping them in different ways helps bring about an emotional response.

I liked where Al was going here, and I don't really have any set answers, I was just hoping that some of you might get the same repetitive feelings from the connecting words.

I notice a message about living and overall its hopeful, positive, and loving. And dare I say, simple...

Look at the images these words conjure... the sensations... with their emotion. Perhaps this reaches our subconscious (obviously not intentionally by Kate, just her sweet nature) and soothes our soul. And keeps us wanting more...

Anything?
