Bard AOE spell Question

[Beldon]

I have been looking through the forums and noticed a lot of people talking about AOE kiting with the lvl 18 song. It can be done with the lvl 2 song but is harder. After looking at the songs, they both seem to be PBAOE and have a range of 30.

Am I reading this right? or is the lvl 18 song a targeted AOE and the lvl 2 a Point Blank?

Thanks.
