Songs are what happens when you make words move, says Dean. So move.

That is just gorgeous. Actually, it all is, but I like this line in the way that I kind of want to write it on a tshirt and tell people I came up with it. Which I wont do, obviously, but. It's lovely!

It makes me think about literary theory, readers response criticism and how authorial intent is unknowable and therefore irrelevant and it's actually all about how the person receiving the message (Dean) interprets the writing that makes it what it is. The text becomes its own source of meaning. Mm.
