It’s all about Bob’s writing, how it hits me.

lyrics

“Military School Dance Dismissal” really hits me in the feels, makes me reel, takes me back to a day in my youth, when I, a military school cadet myself, was tasked with the planning, smooth execution, and dismissal of a dance. It’s remarkable how the lyrics of his songs can mean different things to anyone who hears them. They’re just obscure enough. Is that what makes it art? “Legendary Breakfast Code” can make me hungry, and when I hear “Motor Away” I want to drive, and singing along drunkenly to “Hold on Hope” I feel lucky and happy just being alive. It’s remarkable how the lyrics of his songs can mean different things to anyone who hears them. They’re just obscure enough. Is that what makes it art? What do you visualize when you hear “Kicker of Elves”? Do you see Putin or Trump or some ogre, or do you see yourself? Until I found out that Titus was an Avenue in Dayton, I saw it as a mountain with a vampire’s castle at the top. It’s amazing how the lyrics of his songs can mean different things to anyone who hears them. They’re just obscure enough. Is that what makes it art?
