Well, Jalaluddin Al-Rumi was pretty dam good at love..
If anyone asks you
how the perfect satisfaction
of all our sexual wanting
will look, lift your face
and say,
Like this.
When someone mentions the gracefulness
of the nightsky, climb up on the roof
and dance and say,
Like this.
If anyone wants to know what "spirit" is,
or what "God’s fragrance" means,
lean your head toward him or her.
Keep your face there close.
Like this.
When someone quotes the old poetic image
about clouds gradually uncovering the moon,
slowly loosen knot by knot the strings
of your robe.
Like this.
If anyone wonders how Jesus raised the dead,
don’t try to explain the miracle.
Kiss me on the lips.
Like this. Like this.
When someone asks what it means
to "die for love," point
here.
If someone asks how tall I am, frown
and measure with your fingers the space
between the creases on your forehead.
This tall.
The soul sometimes leaves the body, the returns.
When someone doesn’t believe that,
walk back into my house.
Like this.
When lovers moan,
they’re telling our story.
Like this.
I am a sky where spirits live.
Stare into this deepening blue,
while the breeze says a secret.
Like this.
When someone asks what there is to do,
light the candle in his hand.
Like this.
How did Joseph’s scent come to Jacob?
Huuuuu.
How did Jacob’s sight return?
Huuuu.
A little wind cleans the eyes.
Like this.
When Shams comes back from Tabriz,
he’ll put just his head around the edge
of the door to surprise us
Like this.
Drake, Dylan, Veddar, Cobain, Reznor?

absolutely, what a wonderful thing to say. it's so very, very true. i am living proof.
use words to change the world for the better. if we let negativity and hatred take over, we are lost.
sidenote: marilyn manson's appearance in bowling for columbine = succinct and beautiful expression of the way things get fucked up so easily. to me, he is the prime example of someone who combines brains, art, music with a message, with anti-establishment expression. okay, eddie does that too, but i don't think he irritates parents the same way. in fact, his appeal to many moms (maybe dads too) may be quite fortunate.
Songwriters that I feel are among the best :
Maynard James Keenan.
Bob Dylan.
Shannon Hoon.
Kurt Cobain.
Jerry Cantrell.
Eddie Vedder.
John Lennon.
Paul McCartney.
Roger Waters.
Thom Yorke.
Joni Mitchell.
Tori Amos.
PJ Harvey.
Jimi Hendrix.
There are more that I can't seem to remember...
