Most music is about the songwriter. That’s the stuff that comes from the heart, that’s the stuff that speaks to people, because there is a commonness of experience. Heck that’s where the timeless classics come from, The Kinks See My Friends might be about Ray and Dave’s sister’s funeral, but once you’ve buried a loved one, that song is about YOU. Your daughters might think they’ve out grown it, but wait another 10 years. Part of the growing up cycle, dropping stuff from your youth and rediscovering it. I know plenty of people that are older than Swift that love her stuff. She ain’t going away any time soon.
