Hi James,
When it comes to music, it all depends on the placements of notes, don't you think?
Minor or major keys.
Rhythms and melodies really direct the lyrics.
Mood and phrasing also lend additional support.
It's a whole combination of things, I suppose. You really can't judge anything until you hear the whole.
So with respect to all of this...I can say without hesitation, you're right! (But then, I don't think I'm wrong.

)
