i think, as with many things, it comes down to personal preference.
but consider this.
how easy is it to say exactly what you feel? maybe add a few words that rhyme with eachother?
now think about taking a load of feelings, something as complex as a love situation and condensing that into only few short lines.
for me, again a personal belief, simpilicity will forever hold complexity better then complexity ever did.
for those of you who consider yourself accomplished or simply good at writing, i challenge you: listen to jose's music, try and write your own set of lyrics. i dare you to not change his style.
the eerie overhangs that seem to haunt you. if you dont like him you, simply dont like his music. his lyrics and chords go hand in hand. they make eachother what they are.
