As a songwriter, I've always felt that it is impossible to write a song unless I have a certain depth of understanding and connection with the subject of the song - usually obtained through long involvement and experience with that subject.  The more involvement and experience I have, the better the song will be.  If I'm writing a song about washing dishes, it helps if I've washed dishes before, the more times the better.  If I'm writing a song about service, I darn well better have some experience with service.
