I love how you responded to this. I guess because I also believe the characters we songwriters create are real in that they are formed from the writers experience, observations or both. The more honest the writer is, the more 'on target' the song seems to be and the greater the ripple effect. The ripple effect was my favorite part of your answer :) Let's ripple, baby! LOL
That’s a great question and a great answer. It made me stop and think about something I wrote. The characters in songs, in my case seem to be a fusion of real and imaginary people, of personal experience and fantasy. I have to confess that they, in good tradition English folk tradition, have been killed off in the last verse! It’s a very interesting subject. I wonder what happened to the narrator in Hotel California. Is he still there? Wherever “there” might be. Or did he die? Or topically, what happened to the Rocketman? 🚀
That was a great question and an even Greater reply. I like to think that especially in music, characters in songs can live for generations, maybe forever as the the long as they are being enjoyed by someone?
Such an interesting question. I don’t think in a million years i would have ever thought of that! But it’s given me pause. I love your answer Allison. Your words just flow, and make so much sense to me.
I hope you’re having a wonderful weekend, filled with lots of good spaces. 🐇
Contentment IS wanting what you have (thanks for the reminder) but I'm pretty sure he named his son Bill or George. Maybe for his daughter it would work
Many thanks for taking my question and for such a great answer.
I'm especially pleased for Louise. You could tell she was a fighter. I suspect she spends more time looking inwards and forwards than backwards these days. I hope she doesn't need to put her dukes up too often.
And I hope you don't mind but I borrowed that "rocky socks" line for something I wrote. It's wonderfully descriptive.

I love the reference to Rocket Man
The ripple into the universe sounds to me a little like quantum entanglement. Somehow in one way or another, everything is somehow connected.

What about the woman in Long Black Veil?
Did she remain married, or leave to become the devoted widow?
On the Pina Colada song....my dad thought it was “pink enchiladas.” 🙄😉🤔

It would totally work for any gender
In my world the Pina Colada couple stayed together happily ever after 😎
I agree with Gay, your words flow so smoothly in all of your writings. The novel is going to be a bestseller!
Great question, and your reply was a real treat. Thank you.
I think the artist put a mix of teality and fantasy, together. I do it myself when writting.
