and unlike music that answer doesn't change.... my favorite line in Almost Famous is
'They don't even know what it is to be a fan. Y'know? To truly love some silly little piece of music, or some band, so much that it hurts.'
I was on my elliptical this morning and Rob Thomas Live At The Red Rocks was assisting in my work out... he does If You're Gone acoustically during this performance. As I was listening to that i realized I miss the horns during the acoustic version...
Now I'm a lyrics girl... pretty much that's what gets me, the music and melody is secondary... the lyrics are what make me fall in love with a song PERIOD. However... there are a few songs that for whatever reason... something else stands out... so if you are so inclined... what about you? Are there certain songs that if the bass line or fiddle were missing ~ you would feel like you had Thanksgiving without the mashed potatoes??
These are the ones that come to mind right off for me...
1. If You're Gone by Matchbox 20... the horns
2. Crush by Dave Matthews Band... the bass line in that song... is as my favorite GUY would say Money
3. Eden's Gate by Pat Green... the fiddle... The Fiddle... THE FIDDLE *swoon*
4. Vincent Black Lightening by Reckless Kelly... the lead guitar in this song just makes me want to dance ~ and I don't dance except with Jake in convenience stores to goofy songs!

It's funny you should write about this because I was just thinking about this the other day. I listen to cds I get over and over and over to the point that I can start humming the very beginning of the next song before it starts...and it's weird the things you hear and hum when it's just a music section....and then when you're hearing it live and it's not apart of the performance you're like, whoa wait a minute....
