Remember that the radio is what brought you to music in the first place. With that being said, radio has become a veritable smorgasbord of mediocrity. The true lyricists are no longer offering their wares to consumers, so we receive the left-overs. As far as Chris Simpson's lyrics, they are poetic, but certainly not the best I've seen. But they are better than most of what you hear on the radio these days. Radio caters to major labels, and major labels cater to kids, because they are the ones who actually buy the majority of new music. And kids, however much they try to be adults, are still kids. They don't really know what good music is. It's not their fault though, they are spoon-fed a steady diet of mediocre songs on the radio from the time they are born. And if the parents are mere listeners, and not music lover's, the children will never know the difference until they discover it for themselves.
