Albert Ellis, the controversial yet brilliant psychologist who invented REBT (Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy) would definitely have liked the song. There's only you and me and we just disagree." Up until I was 16 and I first heard this song, I had never heard a song with a subject matter such as this that was written and presented in such a straightforward and rational, non-hysterical way. There ain't no good guy, there ain't no bad guy. Have you lost your feel for me? So let's leave it alone, 'cause we can't see eye to eye. How've you been? Have you changed your style? And do you think that we've grown up differently? It don't seem the same. And sung so stoically by Mason that it would have made even history's most famous stoic, General George Washington, proud. It's probably the only song that I've ever heard that can say something that's sad in such a matter-of-fact, pragmatic, and rational way, with absolutely no histrionics. An adult kind of song with a mature kind of approach. It's a good song with very simple and straight-to-the-point lyrics. I've liked "We Just Disagree" by Dave Mason since I first heard it when I was just a teenager of 16. Everybody listens to music differently, I guess. Dave Mason, who sings it, doesn't feel the need, necessarily, for it to be just another "nice song." It's more than that, or less than that, depending on one's point of view. And that's what makes this song so different. Well, when I listen to it, I think of it as much more than simply just a "nice" song.
