What Does The Music Say?

No matter what some some songwriters may have to say, I fimly believe that the music that one writes reveals a lot about that person. This applies to all parts of the song, melody and lyrics...

Okay, just listen to the stuff that Michael writes. Unfortunately, he doesn't do lyrics. There is something about the way that he seems to wander off into someplace so far away in spots and amazingly somehow find his way back that speaks so loudly to me of who he is...

But what of the music that I write?
The fact that just about everything that I write is in some minor key must certainly say something about me. And the lyrics nearly always involve something or someone that means a lot to me. Snarky love songs like Baby Blue Eyes and sappy love songs like the yet to be completed Sometimes The Angels are quite typical of what I write.

How is it that this self-proclaimed cynic writes so many love songs? What can I say to justify this?
Perhaps that inside every cynic beats the heart of a romantic that has been kicked around one too many times...
