It's usually considered shallow and crass to quote song lyrics to describe your life... but we've all been there, when we listen to a song and it just taps us... you're the singer, the song is about you, its like you wrote it if only you could put your thoughts together with enough poetry to get on the radio. You listen to the lyrics and faces of the most important people in your life become emboldened by those words.
But how much is music changing our perception of what's going on in our lives? How are our perceptions of the other people involved with us altered by the words we hear describing a similar, but not identical situation? It's an interesting thought, don't you think?
I'll look up the research on it later, given it exists. Which, lets admit, it probably does.
