    These guys are some of my favorite song writers; each have a unique style of their own.  What they do have in common, in my opinion, is the way they write their songs.  A lot of tunes nowadays on the radio and mostly that pop who ha have nice catchy tunes, but they don't say anything.  They are filled with worthless verses that go on and on, but end up saying absolutely nothing.  .
    This is why songs like 'Screaming infidelities' (Dashboard), and 'Slow dancing in a burning room' (John Mayer) are such great songs and have a thick following of people who actually get it!  No words are wasted.  There are no filler lines that are thrown in just to fill up space or finish a meaningless line.  They say exactly what the want to say and nothing more. 
    So when I write songs I like to keep this in mind.  Where am I going with this line?  Does it have meaning?  For example in 'Just go' (Misdirection) it was a very specific story where I didn't want to waste any words and say everything that I wanted to.  I think i accomplished this as the song came out pretty easily. 
    I might write another blog explaining that little gem of a story, if anyone is interested.....

This is how I sound, when you turn around
I can keep, holding back, you'll never notice
We should be going faster, No...we're slowing down
I can hear the water outside, it's draining out
And my pass, expired, your new fix, retired
I just need one more time, just to turn around
    And why don't you go.....faster
    I know I won't....
    And you finally asked me a question
    It took me back, would you take it back
This is now, look back, it's so obvious
I never knew anything, anytime, around you
And this what i'd hope i would never find, just confuse me more
It's so sad, i hope that, you found what you're looking for
And my pass expired, your drum sticks retired
I just need one more time, just to turn around
    And why don't you go
    I know I won't.....
    And you finally asked me a question
    It took me back, would you take it back
    If you have to go back tonight, I would understand it's alright
    Never asked you twice I, never asked you again
    Did you mean to say this out loud, "If i'm gonna leave I've gotta leave
    now"
    I never noticed you....never really wanted to....
