Just finished watching one of my favorite bands on Guitar Center Sessions. The interview and more importantly the responces from Jon Foreman the lead singer of Switchfoot were outstanding. In the last segment Jon talks about how he can't sing songs that don't have any meaning for him any longer, but still older songs may have evolved to a new meaning in his life. I think that this concept may be true for the listener. If the so.g doesn't have meaning in the listeners life, there isn't much value to the song and they no longer listen to it. Songs I know that I have enjoyed in the past don't hold a strong feeling in my heart today cause my life has changed. Still I love songs from mu past, but these are songs that I have been able to impart new meaning to them. Go on and listen to your favorite song and think why do like it so much? If you still like that song in a few years reflect back and see if that meaning has changed for you too.
