“Some of our songs are sublime; some are silly. Some tell of lovable eyes and hearts, others tell of crimes learned of in grand opera or read about in daily newspapers or in the classics of literature. They deal with a panorama of events and people, substance and shadow, paunches and fleshpots, as well as filaments of sunset mist. They have roles.

“Often a song is a role. The singer acts a part. He or she is a story-teller of a piece of action. Characters or atmosphere are to be delivered… No two artists deliver a role in the same way. Yet all good artists study a song and live with it before performing it… There is something authentic about any person’s way of giving a song which has been known, lived with and loved, for many years, by the singer.”

- Carl Sandburg, The American Songbag (1927)
