Simon & Garfunkel say hello! I actually heard "I Am A Rock" on the radio last week, and even though I've known that song forever, it was the first time I actually really listened to the lyrics (You probably know this phenomenon first-hand… when you're very accustomed to a song you won't consciously listen to the lyrics). And so I found myself appreciating its lyrics for the first time, and I thought I just HAD to include them on signifikat.
In the philosophy of language, there's a very basic (and quite Wittgensteinian) difference between statements and expressions - statements referring to objective facts, expressions referring to subjective states. Can you guess which is which on this page? :P
Thanks for reading and commenting.

DAJB: Agreed, I'd also consider myself "just" a big fan of the "Graceland" LP, not of Paul Simon himself. That's not to say I don't like most of his other stuff though… I'm just not that big a fan (say, I wouldn't defend poor Paul in an argument :P).
SoraNezumi: Couldn't have said it better!
Nepath: So it IS a universal experience after all :P
