You may have read my previous two blog entries , or heck, even looked at the title of my blog and said to yourself...LyrKICKS?

No, no need to rush to your dictionary, and if you "Google it" all it will do is ask you if you meant "lyrics". So don't do any of that, just keep reading.

An excerpt from the Elise Anderson dictionary:

LyrKICKS: also referred to by the phrase "music that leaves its mark", is shown to be defined as the following:

Musical writing that figuratively kicks the listener in the following ways:

- To move the listener to action

- To emotionally resonate with the listener

Now enough of that. Taking away my self-crafted jargon, I define LyrKICKS as the following:

LyrKICKS are simply lyrics that move the listener.

But NOT in the way songs may be known to be "touching" or cause the listener to pause.

No. It says "KICKS" for a reason.

They are the lyrics that...

caused you to follow your dream and leave the job you hate, gave you the courage to fall in love (again), pulled you out of the black hole a.k.a. your life, caused you to believe in good, made you love, trust, hate, cry, scream, rejoice, laugh, etc...

LyrKICKS are lyrics that KICK you when nothing else matters.

That, my friends, is the definition of LyrKICKS.

Now, I've discussed some of mine, but I'm interested in hearing some of yours, so leave a comment!
