It's the right thing to do faggit. You have to be able to relate to what you sing. Unless you cover yourself in levels of irony but you can't always do that.

Yeah, it's why I hate Joan Baez's version of Mama You Been on My Mind...the problem is that singer's think for a song to be good, it has to be about them, but it doesn't, it can be like a film where it's about someone else

That said, Siouxsie and The Banshees version of 20th Century Boy is more homoerotic and a much better song

Woody Guthrie did it right with Hard Ain't It Hard. Not every song has to be personal, you can just be telling a story.

>guy writes the song
>gets his girlfriend to sing it

what did Longstreth mean by this?

>You have to be able to relate to what you sing.

What about bands where the singer doesn't write the lyrics?

He can still relate to the lyrics, unless they sing stuff they dislike in which case they're just stupid.
