The art of 'meaning it' ..the ultimate explanation .

[Chas]

'Just sound like you mean it',sound advice from Sam Cooke to Bobby Womack, and oh how we love to believe Levi was really hurting, and Walter's heart was truly broken on those classic tracks. I've just watched 'Bruce Springsteen, a secret history' on the BBC i player , and at 55 mins he gives his profound take on how a songwriter makes the connection with the listener. For me this has to be one of the most profound and sincere opinions, whether black or white. It's music, pure and simple. Take a look, hopefully you'll agree.
