Essence

The "Message" song/Politics in Lyrics...

Aside from the usual "I love you baby" songs how do the lyricists amongst us here find the quest to get deeper and bring a message to the table? Can music really handle politics nowadays? Which was the last good "message song"?

When attempted even, it can often come off as pretentious and insincere...

Your thoughts?
