To many, songwriting is magical.
Part of that magic happens when a songwriter taps into a life experience that speaks to you, personally. It's like they know you and your life.
Sure, sometimes these experiences are universal; like love, lust, break-ups, death, birth, etc. But other times, they can be pretty specific; like a song with your name in it, describing exactly what you do on a daily basis.
Now that may never happen to you, but in today's Monday Music Meld you'll hear some of your picks for songs that you feel are very close to being about you!
For next week's meld, I'm going with a theme suggested by listener, flannel tom: "Songs that make you go Hmmm?" - Songs that you "don't get", for whatever reason. Like for me, I don't get Diamond/Purity/Trust Ring(s) or Sigur Ros for whatver reason."
So, comment below, email Craig.Norris@cbc.ca, or tweet @cbcradio3 with your picks for songs that you just don't get. Please (and I can't stress this enough) put "Hmm" as the first line in your comment and/or the subject of your email.
Also, (and I can't stress this enough, either) please give a good explanation as to why you chose that song!
