Songwriting & heart. Pyro fades, costumes age, but a killer melody and honest lyric are what people still hum years later.
Totally—and the best songs double as time capsules. You hear two chords and you're 17 again, which no light show can replicate.
Spectacle can carry a message far, but without heart it rots. Bold color and symbols keep art alive for the people.
I agree. Songwriting is heart, but it's also focus and simplicity, the fewest notes that carry the idea with power.
