lyrics important?
Kirkles:
I love lyrics. I like it when I get a song with lyrics I don't know what the story is they are telling or whatever, because then I have to listen to it until I do. (of course, with some I still don't have a clue) I think it's because I love analysing them. We're analysing pomes at the moment in English and I love it. Does that make me sad? I guess good lyrics aren't always important, but to me they are. I think it's because I can't play anything, I can't read music. I can play piano and the tin whistle a little by ear, but I'm not very good because I haven't done it for a long time. With lyrics though, anybody can know what goes into them. And I love writing. Bla. I don't really know what I'm saying.
The best songs are ones you can turn up, shut your eyes and think: I could listen to this song forever. And for me it's usually the music that does that. I think lyrics just give songs that extra bit of interest.
Hmm, have I flip flopped my views slightly on the subject? I've never really thought about it before. I usually get bored of a song that has no lyrics.
KharBevNor:
I do love a bit of lyrical analysis. I still have fond memories of when I was 13/14 and me and my best mate were sitting in his room working out what all the songs on 'Toxicity' were about.
zekterellium:
what about a band with awesome lyrics but that are rubbish? like cradle of filth or sparklehorse?
KharBevNor:
Pssh, I like CoF. They dumbed down their lyrics recently anyway, only on Damnation and a Day to cool lyrics and crud music truly co-exist. New album has ok lyrics and crudder music.
heretic:
khar, i like your meter and scheme but the content feels cheesy to me. bu then again i like either completely pointless or really good and on a set idea. no middle ground for me, but if that's your thing these wouldn't bother me in a song with good music.
