Poets and Music
"Rock'n'roll is characterised by driving and simple but not necessarily easy rhythms, and the words hover between the rhythms," says Christopher Ricks, Oxford University's professor of poetry, who has written about Bob Dylan's importance as a poet. "The question is, what do these wonderful simplicities of rhythm do to the words? Just because in the art of song, words are joined by music and melody, that doesn't mean they are less important. It's a bit like saying oxygen isn't as important in water because it's a compound."
...
"Still, he believes human beings have an inherent need for poetry. He quotes William Carlos Williams' poem Asphodel, That Greeny Flower: "It is difficult to get the news from poems/ yet men die miserably every day/ for lack/ of what is found there." He shrugs. "I think that's why rap is popular. There's not a rock writer as good as Ghostface [Killah]. He's just shocking. And David LaDude. Oh boy." And even so, Darnielle believes, rap is past its lyrical peak."

1998: Cat Power - Cross Bones Style
You could talk about this track as mesmerizing. You really could. Especially since it's said to have originated in a post-hypnotic state, in the shared farmlands of a self-proclaimed fuck up ex-boyfriend (goodness, bill callahan is dreamy). A couple of repetitive chords, the drums kick in, and your interests peak - but it's the token husky-Chan vocals that strike at the drama the melody hints at. Although popular demand assigns the pre-produced, no, less pronounced, no, best version, 'metal heart' as the signature stand out track on 1998's Moon Pix - I'd confidently add this to that pedestal. As she pounds her lackadaisical gun at you, Marshall croons, "you have seen some unbelievable things" and in the comfort of your indifferent rock cradle, you're shaken out of your shared post-hypnotic state, only to realize, that you actually have.
