Lyric discussion by Bearded 

Cover art for Lovestain lyrics by José González

I'm a bit confused by such enthusiasm for JG lyrics.

Don't get me wrong I think he's a fabulous musician, I love his album (one of the best of 2005). But I still feel like he is a rather sub-par lyricist.

It's not so much the extreme repetition that happens in his song, but I feel that overall he doesn't expresses much. Maybe I'm just dense to those lyrics.

I read an interview in which he said he always wrote the music first, and then add some lyrics. He was rather dismissive himself as to his quality as a writer.
