There are certain phrasings in songs that make the line. Some artists are genius at it- changing the entire tone of the song with a phrasing. Good phrasing can drag you into a song even if you don’t know that’s what it’s doing.
As silly as it sounds, if a great part of a song comes on, I can close my eyes and just vibe out on it- it makes me smile when I can pinpoint a phrase. It feels like it’s my little secret that I notice and no one else does. However, some things are just too good not to share….
Some of my faves, to name very few…:
