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

LOVE CHANGES EVERYTHING

Love, love changes everything:
 Hands and faces, earth and sky.
Love, love changes everything:
How you live and how you die.
Love can make the summer fly,
Or a night seem like a lifetime.
Yes, love, love changes everything,
Now I tremble at your name.
Nothing in the world will ever be the same.

Love, love changes everything:
Days are longer, words mean more.
Love, love changes everything:
Pain is deeper than before.
Love will turn your world around,
And that world will last forever.
Yes, love, love changes everything,
Brings you glory, brings you shame.
Nothing in the world will ever be the same.

Off into the world we go,
Planning futures, shaping years.
Love bursts in and suddenly 
All our wisdom disappears.
Love makes fools of everyone:
 All the rules we make are broken.
Yes, love, love changes everything:
 Live or perish, in its flame.

Love will never ever let you be the same.
Love will never ever let you be the same!
