Maybe it's because I AM 16 and I can totally relate to the lyrics in "To Forgive" and other "childish" songs. So perhaps in a few years I'll feel the same way as you do.
But at the moment, and I do still believe my opinion is valid, I don't agree that SP wrote emo lyrics by today's definition. Probably because thinking of SP as emo makes me cringe and want to puke, because I'm a teen in a time where emo is associated with awful bands. I simply cannot make that comparison. But like I said, I'm able to admit that I might change my mind in ten years. In fact, I probably WILL. However, for the time being, I really don't think Billy wrote/writes emo lyrics. Nonsense lyrics, yes. Emo lyrics, no. |

I can tell already that this thread is going to annoy me.
Someone let me know when it gets off topic and interesting. |

its my firm belief that bc could write good-great lyrics every time if he wanted to, but doesn't because it takes less time to write bullshit lyrics which thus affords him more time to churn out superfluous tokenistic b-side material.
i think the coil my tongue around a bumblebee mouth lyric isn't bullshitty though, its an aptly poetic description of the frustration of not feeling able to adequately express one's anger about something. the lyric sounds like a whirled-up mess because the feeling behind it is too. |

what did everyone do tonight? I had a vocal class and my teacher made me stand in her back garden and sing "In My Life" at full volume. Then she made me sing on front of the woman who came to fix her net curtains. Pretty weird but I'm too self conscious apparantly and this will help my vocal performances. There you go. |

that's one of my favorite SP lyrics of all time, actually.
EDIT: referring to bumblebeemouth's post about his/her dumb username. |

No "In My Life" works fine. Beatles before Jovi, that's my motto.

I just got home from work a bit ago. I played Bingo with old people, made them popcorn, and took some of them outside for cigarettes. Tonight I'm going down to a bar in town that has free tacos on Tuesday nights. |

I thought "emo" music in it's current usage refers to artists that write pop punk faux-histrionic joke songs about self-mutilation and not being able to get laid accompanied by glossy, goth-for-toddlers videos.
