sharonregina Posted January 20 Report Share Posted January 20 ok first off, can you please stop ". . . " ing all of your topics! it's fucking annoying.now that i'm done whining . . .words in songs are great- but think about this- words are only one element of a song, while all those instruments, ALL being the keyword, play such a larger part. i'm a lyric freak, but when it comes down to reviewing a CD, that's the last thing I note.------------------"I do not agree with what you have to say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it." -voltaire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cathyo Posted January 20 Report Share Posted January 20 There have been songs that I have loved the music and couldn't listen to anymore because I found the words highly objectionable.------------------ A mind that is stretched by a new experience can never go back to it's old dimensions.~*~*~Don't use time or words carelessly, neither can be retrieved.~*~*~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exitclubgrl143 Posted January 20 Report Share Posted January 20 i always pay ttention to the words. its the words that make the song great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darcangel Posted January 20 Report Share Posted January 20 I never pay attention to the words in songs. I like rythmns and melodies, words just confuse it all. That and I have a very short attention span compounded by no long term memory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nycetouch Posted January 21 Report Share Posted January 21 When a good song has good poetry to go with it, that's great. But mostly I dont need some self righteous musian acting like a poet and trying to communicate his observations on life and trying to command my feelings with his voice and words. That's one of the things I love about techno, it seldomly has words, and even when it does they are there mostly for the sound effect of the voice.If I want to get into some deep poetry, I'll go to Barnes and Noble. Simon&Garfunkel, Metallica-great music, sometimes even better lyrics that make you really think. Matchbox 20, VanHalen, etc.-lyrics are completely circumbstancial for the singer.

But mostly I dont need some self righteous musian acting like a poet and trying to communicate his observations on life and trying to command my feelings with his voice and words.yes, back in the day songs were almost always created by teaming up a lyricist and a composer (rodgers & hart, lerner & loewe, georege & ira gershwin, etc.), but those were also in the days when people rarely even performed their own material . but later on more people starting doing both. i don't think writing good music and fine lyrics have to be mutually exclusive.[This message has been edited by weyes (edited 01-20-2001).] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flippin_e Posted January 21 Report Share Posted January 21 Dave Matthhews....what is there to be said. Crash, and Satelite have some of my favorite lyrics to a song. Of course my quote, but that isn't a Dave original. Can't wait for his new CD!!PS, not only does he have great lyrics..his music alone is great....I mean...who else performs one song that is 12 minutes long!------------------..The judge said: "Son, what is your alibi? If you were somewhere else then you won't have to die." Well I said not a word. Though it meant my life, for I'd been in the arms of my best friends wife.Duuuude your crushing my head![This message has been edited by flippin_e (edited 01-20-2001).] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
