What happened to songwriting??

Frank Sinatra:
Fill my heart with song
And let me sing for ever more
You are all I long for
All I worship and adore
In other words, please be true
In other words, I love you


Justin Bieber:
Baby, baby, baby oooh
Like baby, baby, baby nooo
Like baby, baby, baby oooh
I thought you'd always be mine (mine)



...
oh yes.
Songwriting is incredible in the 21st century....

  1. Oh man, I often wonder that myself. It's probably why I'm straying over toward country music and artists that actually write lyrics that mean something!

  3. So true. And have you noticed that they're all about "i'm suck a gangster jerk..." and breakups. Instead of "Let me tell you all the romantic ways I'm going to take care of you."
