Okay Okay this is my last blog today I swear (technically it's tomorrow so ha!). I just had to comment on this:
When words fail, music speaks.
This is pure blasphemy to me. I mean, sure I've used lyrics as my Facebook status numerous times, and even put a song on repeat because it said exactly what I was feeling. But I don't think that music is taking place of words then because THE MUSIC USES WORDS. I think what people mean to say is "When OUR words fail, music speaks for us." Sometimes we can't phrase or express what we want to say, but with music, it's mainly the lyrics we use to express our feelings for us. However in some situations, when you're really sad or pissed or happy, you just blast the song because the beat or melody show what your mood is. But when people use the line "When words fail, music speaks" they mean the lyrics, and I just think it's kind of redundant.
LOL!! You are spot on, darling! Dr. Who is proud - Shakespeare too, with your poetic wit and insights.
