We &#8220;bud out&#8221; at work or just have it on while driving to drown out other noises. We don&#8217;t often, or at least often enough, listen to the lyrics. In order for us to actually listen to a song in its entirety the song must have a &#8220;sound we like&#8221; for a mood we are in at the time we turn it on. Then and only then do we listen to the lyrics. Sad really.<\/p>\n<p>We probably get conditioned to this behavior during our &#8220;pop music&#8221; years. Too often &#8220;pop music&#8221; is just a beat with a handful of nonsense words. The words are really how you find a diamond in the rough.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ZTbTHlTmDX8\">Galveston<\/a>&#8221; was originally a Don Ho song nobody heard of until Glen Campbell heard it and turned it into something everyone heard. Don Ho usually sounded like a really drunken Dean Martin so&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=lcWVL4B-4pI\">Blinded By the Light<\/a>&#8221; was an obscure tune only a few Bruce Springsteen fans knew until Manford Mann turned it into something magical.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m sure you all have one or two you know the story behind and wish to share. Feel free to share them in the comments.<\/p>\n<p>Even writers, especially script writers, can make use of incredibly good lyrics viewers may not know.

Normally I&#8217;m out getting ice for my wine and snacks, or just desperately clicking the skip button until I get to the movie menu. For some reason I left these roll. Perhaps because the preview for some movie whose name I don&#8217;t remember had a song playing with a lyric that snagged me:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 150px;\">I remember when I lost my mind.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>I had never heard the song but was immediately pulled in by the lyric. &#8220;What a great opening for a book!&#8221; I thought.
