"What Was It You Wanted" Bob Dylan

Whether Bob Dylan personally has earned the right lately to have an attitude about deceit and hypocrisy is eclipsed by his expressing it so well.  A great artist does express our sentiments as well as his own, and so he has in fact earned this right. "What was it you wanted when you were kissing my cheek?" and this song in general expresses my resentments towards a couple of people.  However, without other people being more supportive either publicly or privately against these idiots I don't think I will dignify their abuse by describing it further. www.bobdylan.com What Was It You Wanted? WRITTEN BY: BOB DYLAN What was it you wanted? Tell me again so I’ll know What’s happening in there What’s going on in your show What was it you wanted Could you say it again? I’ll be back in a minute You can get it together by then What was it you wanted You can tell me, I’m back We can start it all over Get it back on the track You got my attention Go ah

"I Can't Tell You Why" Diana Krall

Usually without why, I don't think that something is worth knowing.  "The unexamined life is not worth living" [Socrates] is also one of my mottoes.  But not about some things, life, love, why things fall apart, etc. simply aren't reducible to knowledge and experience. Surprisingly, I couldn't get this song out of my head all this week.  This song "I Can't Tell You Why" was originally by the Eagles. "Every time I try to walk away, something makes me turn around and stay.  I can't tell you why" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uzNJT1jKeL0
