Stop it - sorry, but that’s one of my (countless) peeves. You are an expert on what moves you, and obviously Gordon did. Artists shouldn’t be writing for the critics or the artsy-fartsy crowd; a song like that was meant to move the masses of non-experts. It means a lot.
What I meant was I think the words are very well written beyond the beauty of the music. My writing skills are poor and I don’t know the ins and outs of great writing but I find the lyrics of the song very impressive. Others more knowledgeable with great literature/writing may not be so impressed when compared to others works...
