As Richard Ashcroft said in the song "Music is power". I have to admit, it really is! If you think about what music can do to a person it is an incredibly powerful thing, it can get someone out of their seat and dance or it can bring a person to tears. It's the only language everyone speaks and can understand too!

It's a cliché, but to me The Beatles set about the foundation for a LOT of what music has become whether that be in the studio or just the writing of songs.
It's a force I can't quite put my finger on, but there is something in the background that keeps telling me to write and work on songs.
Whatever the listener interprets it as, honestly music is for people to hear and if you take away what it means to them it could ruin the song.
Usually it was drunk, but not anymore.
