The Border Ballads, for instance, and the Robin Hood Ballads, clearly suppose a state of society which is nothing but a very circumscribed and not very important heroic age.

Old Songs And Rhymes and Ballads
I love old fashioned earthy stuff old ballads and old rhyme
To modern sophisticated writing I'd prefer it anytime
But that is my opinion and though everyone's opinion ought to count
The opinions of one person to little does amount,
I love old fashioned earthy songs I love to sing along
with the folk or ballad singer of a loved familiar song
Perhaps I do seem boring as old fashioned I am known
But to each their preference like 'tis said to each their own,
I am not anti modern writers in case you get me wrong
But I could listen to ballads and rhyme in an old pub all night long
And with what I say if you are one who choose to disagree
You are entitled to your opinions and that's okay with me,
I may seem a bit dated but give me the earthy stuff
Old songs and rhymes and ballads for me are good enough.

Fanciful
Peace,
hunter of dreams, stalking love's castles,
find me.
Faith,
fisher of smiles, pursuing love's ballads,
catch me.
Hope,
trapper of wishes, tracking love's magic,
cage me.
For to you,
gunless dream hunters,
netless smile fishers and
hookless wish trappers
Love's castles, ballads and magic belong.
Put here for romance my failure to find
care-attachment
shall not last long for I have all
these and my fanciful Muse to guide me
I also plan to release a ballads collection.

In nearly all ballads, the words set the mood and meaning, while the music intensifies or enhances them.

Some of my other heroes around that time were, oddly enough, Frank Sinatra, Nat Cole and people like that - I was always more inclined to listen to ballads.
