This is a thread in honour of the dialogical principle in song lyrics.
The beauty of the dialogical principle in song lyrics derives from the integrative and unifying power of the song itself.
Songs have the power to reunite voices that have been driven apart by fear- and hatemongering, by ideology and lies, like in the cat stevens example.
Song lyrics which make use of the dialogical principle can highlight the absurdity of human communication, the reality and brutality of underlying power relations and exploitation, and they can bring together voices that in reality would've never met. Sometimes they are the only way to ease the longing by reenacting a long goodbye...
The possibilities are endless, with the dialogical principle working best when sung by only one singer.
So, what are your favouite "dialogical songs"?
PS: there is also going to be a thread about the beauty of solipsism in song writing, but more of that later.
