Songs are repetitive, cyclical, a crappy form of poetry, basically not sophisticated.

Yes of course there are deep and beautiful songs,

But unless you can analyse how the specific tone colours and cadences and other music features affect the audience.... Don't.

Just don't.

Songs are bad, UNLESS you can analyse the compositional aspect of the song (ie, staccato, crescendo, rhythm etc), as well as the lyrical aspects. If you only analyse the lyrical aspects, it's like losing half the related text. You wouldn't analyse half a Skrzynecki poem, or only read half of As You Like It, so why analyse only half a related text?
