Pink Floyd, Sarah McLachlan, the Beatles, they are all the greatest signers of our modern time. It seems as if music is slowly overpowering the esteem of classical written poems. Really, it isn’t. Is there no music in poems and poems in music? Truly, they form one whole. It is undeniable that the soul of music and the spirit of words are intimately connected to each other. Music is intimately connected to the body, the heart beat, and poems are basically the reflexions of the heart. So, whether it’s Edgar Allen Poe or Bono, the esteem is quite the same. Therefore, are singers the greatest poets of our time? In many cases, it’s not hard to believe so.
The song “Dream on” from Aerosmith is one of the best lyrics and songs that I have ever seen. Here is a passage...a long passage! (my favourite part of the song!):
Dream on
by Aerosmith
Every time I look in the mirror
All these lines on my face getting clearer
The past is gone
It goes by, like dusk to dawn
Isn't that the way
Everybody's got their dues in life to pay
Yeah, I know nobody knows

The past is gone
It goes by, like dusk to dawn
Isn't that the way
Everybody's got their dues in life to pay
Yeah, I know nobody knows
where it comes and where it goes
I know it's everybody's sin
You got to lose to know how to win
Sing with me, sing for the year
Sing for the laughter, sing for the tears
Sing with me, if it's just for today
Maybe tomorrow, the good lord will take you away
Dream On, Dream On, Dream On
Dream until your dreams come true
Dream On, Dream On, Dream On
Dream until your dream comes through
Dream On, Dream On, Dream On
Dream On, Dream On
Dream On, Dream On
Everytime I look in the mirror the past is gone
I just feel that this song fits so perfectly with what I need right now. It gives me shivers each time I hear it! So what if Steven Tyler was a heavy drug and alcohol addict, Oscar Wilde was paederastic! What they write is truer to their heart than any other superficial artists. You've got to forgive me. I can be soooo seriouse sometimes! I'm just so passionate you know!
