Cool, do pass along our greetings. Cool that he is from Edinburgh. In my recent trip to Britain, Edinburgh was the only place I could be sure my ancestors had lived, in the long time agos, 1600s.

No worries Keith, that is why we have me. I am into music enough to cover both of us.
I performed a subset of the thought experiment I proposed, using only one artist I chose because he wrote his own material, both lyrics and music, so it is likely to be a consistent signal. I chose John Denver, took 30 of his songs, filtered it down to a little over 5000 words. Heeeeere's the result:
No surprises, there are 278 thes, 182 tos, 158 ands, etc:

Love came in 25th.
OK let’s trim out the irrelevant stuff, the ands and thes, etc, then sort by frequency. The left column is the rank sorted by frequency, the word, then the number of instances. This is what John Denver songs are all about:

OK then, it is about you. You is in first place, and I is in second, but just describing it makes it sound like I don’t understand the fundamentals of English grammar.
She is in sixth place, but behind me. I is ahead of me, and so is you. Noe, your in seventh, and I did mean your rather than you’re.
She is ahead of time, but behind me. Im over love.
Love is eighth and heart is twelfth.
Keith I could have even more fun with all this, but the signal is very clear and the conclusion inescapable: I have far too much free time on my hands.
