Re: why do you like the music you like?
This thread got good fast.
The best song from The Crane Wife, imo, is "The Island." It sounds great, I could listen to that [censored] all day on repeat, etc. BUT if you don't take some time to absorb the lyrics you are missing out on 60% of the song. That right there is an epic story about a place and the vicious crime that happens there. Now I can't listen to it without feeling the emotion and horror of those characters, which is of course intensified by the music. It all fits together beautifully, and I feel sorry for the people (who I know exist) who own this album and listen to the songs and never get this layer because they don't place enough importance on the lyrics.
