Songs That Teach You? by Opentokwowledge: 2:12am On Mar 11, 2018
Some songs come with lyrics that are sharp contrasts; line against line so much it seems unintelligible. The message hidden, perhaps something you'll have to define for yourself. In short, Dylanesque. You can call them classics, you can call them food for the soul. I have got a few on my playlist and I would want to have many more. I need generous prescriptions. Thank you!

Lol. Well, I meant songs that you will have to ponder on and churn over before you might be able to grasp the message that lies therein. Check the thread and access the four songs I shared, you should have an idea of what I'm talking about then... Btw, I can see you have good tastes.

For Headlights, if only I'm not too old to cry, was emotional.

And the Kendrick Lamar's wall ...Well, I've always been a fan

Thank you man!

PS : What conclusions have you reached on who is it? I'm still largely not able to piece it all together other than the glaring fact that MJ was betrayed...

he was betrayed by Diana Ross who left him to marry someone else after he gave her the world and everything,so Michael spends his whole time pondering and trying to figure out why she left him even though she loved him but Michael was subtle in divulging why she left,but I think the industry had a hand in it or something cos it didn't make any sense,i think somehow it was a battle of power between the industry and Michael who was perceived as rebellious by the industry who fired back by taking away what he loved the most Diana Ross.

I think this interpretation is the generally adopted one but I'm just not satisfied as I strongly feel the picture MJ was painting with so much passion was more detailed and deeper than what meets the eye ( and ears in this case).

If you've watched the video of this song, You'll realize the name Diana on one of the bunch of tabs /cards at Mj's gf's house was intentionally used to confuse the audience and lead it to an albeit cute conclusion of bitterness over Diana. However, there are other cards with other people's names.... That should tell you something, perhaps that this ain't all about Diana... And then there was a line that went "I pray this punishment ...Would have mercy on me..." which makes the song all the more confusing... Anyway, I've neglected the song at the unsatisfactory conclusion that Mj was just trying to portray the agony and despair of a hurt and pained man, the events of the time serving as ''sales aid'' if you will forgive my french grin

I haven't seen the video in a while can't really remember,mike always had a deep and profound feeling for diana ross and it spanned two tracks "dirty dianna" and "who is it" which makes it an obvious indication it was about diana regardless of the lyrics and the video and I mentioned somewhere about it having something to do with the music industry..

You're looking too hard might hurt yourself grin but the truth about the lyrics is pretty glaring,it was about Diana,yeah there could be more to it,i don't really dig deep into songs like that,i love the aura of mystery about my songs I think it's what brings out the magic in a song..

Your last line is largely why I'm interested in songs/music. I want a song that comes with a challenge. One that presents itself as a bounty to win, gold to mine, Soil to till till I feel I've gotten to the bottom of the it. It's just my bad habit and I know it will be the death of me grin ... Thank you for your time, I hope the weekend has been rejuvenating?

It's a good habit tho,music listeners mostly care about the surface,they hardly dig deep into songs,its a good thing there are a few people like you out here who appreciate the artistry of songs,i like that.

And you're welcome,yes the weekend has been,hope yours was great as well?..
