Lyrics are very important to me.

They make most songs.


the problem with me is that I can never understand what the lead singer is saying with all the other stuff going on in the background.

I guess if i was into metal or punk or something along those lines i could see that.

I never have an issue hearing what the singer is saying and a lot of times if i cant make a word out, i end up looking up the lyrics.

this was my thought on a lot of the 90s alternative type songs that were supposed to have a "message" yet the singer garbled through the lyrics and no one knew wtf they were saying.

Did you hear "laurel" or "yanny"?

Then I won't be listening. That's not to say all music has to have words. And love to listen to jazz, D.Grisman, jams and all manner of non-vocal music. Just that (for me) if the song has words they have to be comprehendible. Which is a big part of why 'rap' has never done it for me.

Just wish I could remember the words verbatim, but it's just not my thing for some reason. Which really sucks because I can play some pretty decent guitar, have a passable voice (people like), easily stay on key no problem even getting the intonation and guttural nuances spot on, but have the hardest time recalling the words.... Strange, considering their importance.
