Fab article. I am a poet. I am all about words, therefore lyrics are vital to my enjoyment of popular music.

But the reason that poetry is not universally treasured as is popular music is that there is no attending ambience. The lyrics work with the music to create a synesthetic gestalt. I even put my poetry on audio visual form for my own personal enjoyment.

Lyrics are trees but not the forest

That being said I read the whole article which is amazing and appreciated by someone with adhd. You really held my attention.
