Hi there, Lyrics are very important, but the "feel" of the music has to grab me first. In '89, when I brought home the first IM album and heard "Paper Dolls" for the first time, I just stood there in awe. Her voice, the vibe of the whole album blew my mind...and though the music has changed, the beauty of their songs always amazes me, and I think it's just the natural product of their personalities.
