I've gone through a few of my all time favourite songs and read the lyrics - it's really weird. There are indeed stories I wasn't aware of, and some are interesting, but most I'm afraid do absolutely nothing for me. A few I realised I did sort of know the story. I tried to think of the Chapin and Croce songs and I can't remember any of the words and had to look them up. I also realised that I could hum the tunes, but the words just didn't come back. I've been in a band for years so have sung the same 2 x 60 minute set hundreds of times - but as I sing harmonies - which are usually random words and phrases plus oohs - I realised I know the lyrics for only 5 or 6 in full. Weird - I thought I was quite normal.
