I have always thought that songwriting and poetry were very similar, yet incredibly different at the same time. I remember an English lesson from a few years ago where my teacher printed copies of lyrics for George Michaelâs âI Want Your Sexâ and made us compare it to a similarly lustful medieval poem. He had mainly done it for jokes, whilst an incredibly danceable song, âI Want Your Sexâ is not the most meaningful songwriting that George ever produced. Despite that, I do believe that all songs are poetry, but not all poetry can be songs. The added element of a soundscape to accompany the words, give this form of poetry a much more 3 dimensional form, allowing a listener to perfectly experience an artist's vision. And so with that today I am going to be diving deep into the lyricism and meanings as well as the sounds of some of my all time favourite tunes. So strap in and get your Spotify playlists ready because youâre gonna wanna hear these.
