You tell your band leader I said he's an idiot. You know who else wants "lyrics everyone can relate to"? Every throwaway artist in every genre ever. If you bought a CD on the strength of one song, and you then realized the other songs were complete ****. Go read the lyrics to any non-hit song. You'll see there ambigious. Theres a reason for that, because no one really relates. No one ever says "oh yeah that unnameable person did that terrible thing to me and went off with that other nameless him" god this is jsut like my life.
People can relate to stories if you give them one. Books don't get ambiguous, and the classics sell millions. How many Default CD's compared to Bob Dylan CD's are out there? Give details, no one likes the general gossip, they all want the dirt. Give them it. I can't stress this enough. Ambiguity is horrid horrid ****.
