What I Want This To Accomplish

I love music. I love all kinds of music. I love a good melody and I love good lyrics. Here's the thing. Too often I have noticed people getting lost in the melodic side of a song and never listen to the lyrics, the message that the songwriter is trying to share with the listener. Words mean things and there are a lot of songs out there with great lyrics. Here you will find love and hurt, pain and longing, emotions and intimate thoughts from songwriters over the years. There will be no commentary from me on the lyrics. Just the words. The words for you to read, process and ponder and hopefully come away with a little more meaning to a song than just a lovely melody. A more complete understanding of where the artist is coming from. - Bill Clark

THE GREAT AMERICAN MARRIAGE

Nothing is wrong
Oh but nothing is right
Days filled with nothing
And nothing at night

We once had something
Something to share
Time came & turned us
When something was there

Now we lie side by side
Nothing to say, nothing to do
Love has become just a word
Something you’ve heard
But that’s nothing too

We’re surrounded by lies
Our friends joined by ties of family tradition
We all enter the act, a well publicized fact
No need for permission

I consider your face
Lying deep in somebody’s dreams
Sleeping eyes crying
Falling apart at the seams

Nothing is wrong
Oh but nothing is right
Days filled with nothing
And nothing at night
