More From Alison Krauss

There's no difference between lyrics and poetry. words are words. the only difference is the people who are in academic positions and call themselves poets and have an academic stance. they've got something to lose if they say it's all poetry; if there's not music to it, and you have to wear a certain kind of checkered shirt or something like that. it's all the same. lyrics are lyrics, poetry is poetry, lyrics are poetry, and poetry is lyrics. they are interchangeable to me.
Lyric Poetry Differences People

The message of the united states is not nuclear power. the message of the united states is a spiritual message. it is the message of human ideals; it is the message of human dignity; it is the message of the freedom of ideas, speech, press, the right to assemble, to worship, and the message of freedom of movement of people.
Spiritual Wisdom Ideas
Melodies can be good depending on the context. you can have a simple melody, and if the harmony behind it is interesting, it can make a very simple melody really different. you can also have a complex melody. the more complex it is, the harder it is to sing, and then sometimes it can sound contrived. you could write a melody that would be fine on a saxophone but if you give it to a singer, it can sound raunchy.

Country Fighting Iraq
We said that each time a country is liberated it is a defeat for the world imperialist system. but we must agree that the break is not achieved by the mere act of proclaiming independence or winning an armed victory in a revolution. it is achieved when imperialist economic domination over a people is brought to an end.
Country Real Winning
We have heard all of our lives how, after the civil war was over, the south went back to straighten itself out and make a living again. it was for many years a voiceless part of the government. the balance of power moved away from it--to the north and the east. the problems of the north and the east became the big problem of the country and nobody paid much attention to the economic unbalance the south had left as its only choice.
