Best Lyricists Today?
Some examples of Al: "You look like you've been for breakfast at the Heartbreak Hotel." "I've tried to ask you this in some daydreams that I've had but you're always busy being make-believe." "Somebody told the stars you're not coming out tonight, so they found a place to hide."
For Mikel, I'd recommend listening to Sometime Around Midnight, Elizabeth, and Neda.
I love these guys, but I'm always looking for artists with incredible lyrics. Who are your favorites?

You're the light, you're the night
You're the color of my blood
You're the cure, you're the pain
You're the only thing I wanna touch
Never knew that it could mean so much, so much
You're the fear, I don't care
'Cause I've never been so high
Follow me through the dark
Let me take you past our satellites
You can see the world you brought to life, to life
So love me like you do, lo-lo-love me like you do
Love me like you do, lo-lo-love me like you do
Touch me like you do, to-to-touch me like you do
What are you waiting for?
Fading in, fading out
On the edge of paradise
Every inch of your skin is a holy grail I've gotta find
Only you can set my heart on fire, on fire
Yeah, I'll let you set the pace
'Cause I'm not thinking straight
My head spinning around, I can't

- Latest Review: Who Was That Masked Kid by Dan Neiser
Here's a sample from Samsa's song Butterflies:
It seldom happens that she listens to my voice
And doesn't chime in quick with unsolicited advice
An unapologetic tyrant of passive aggressive rivalry
Ask her a question
And catch and handful of sass and irony
And from NF's Mansion:
Insidious is blind inception
What's reality with all these questions?
Feels like I missed my alarm and slept in
Broken legs but I chase perfection
These walls are my blank expression
My mind is a home I'm trapped in
And it's lonely inside this mansion
