I'm showing my age here...."swing" as in musical expression, primarily jazz, where the result has an indefinable feeling of life and human essence that results from artistic exploration and expression at the time of creation, that isn't contained in or explained by the musical score itself, ie., the notes on the page.
Or in more pedestrian definitions, courtesy of Webster's:
4 b: to play or sing with a lively compelling rhythm; specifically: to play swing music
8 a: to be lively, exciting, and up-to-date
Or as the old song says:
"It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing!"
Your work swings.
