#i speak music

There’s a concept I learned about at school called Death of the Author, which kinda fits this thought.

I know so many songs that are about things I’ve never experienced. But they fit different experiences.

Songs about the horrors of war, government shit, addiction… they say things about parts of my life I don’t know how to express.

I don’t know that many songs about growing up in a cult and being shunned by your whole family but I know songs that fit my emotions

There’s nothing wrong with redefining songs
