who here likes songs with real actual lyrics? and if so, whats wrong with you? it has occured to me that far too many of you are turning to the dark side (or have come from the dark side and like to reminise) and listen to genres of music that have lyrics...even tho you listen to healthy music like aphex twin as well. why is this, you so confusing to me!

because a human voice can also be beautiful.
can even be more beautiful than any other sound, if you know that it is actually produced by a human.

music is music. if its well written and sung(pink floyd, beatles, radiohead, bjork, a hell of a lot of hip hop music) then i have no problem with lyrics.
and if you honestly cast aside genres of music because you don't like the human voice than you're a fucking idiot.

it's not like you have to choose... sometimes you listen to instrumental music, sometimes to something with vocals. I don't really prefer one over the other.
Altough i'll admit at first i only listened to alternative rock-music, and i was very worried i would find instrumental music boring. I just thought lyrics were so important... i wasn't sure music w/out lyrics would be able to hold my attention.
Kept me from listening to postrock for some months (even though the reviews i read about it sounded interesting). But then one day i just bought a mogwai-cd... :-)

I always listened to electronic music(techno,hardcore) then I found electronica.
Then I found this board,and heard people speak of Radiohead,saying how good they are,so I borrowed Kid A from my Dad.I always hated guitar music/lyrics,but a couple listens of Radiohead,I fell in love.

im not opposed to the human voice - in fact i love any song that has a lot of voice samples in it - but i just cant see whats so great about having so many songs all basically sounding the same to me, singing on about love and heartache and crap...

well, once again, not all songs consist of those two or three themes.
i do understand shifting moods and how they can correlate to what kind of music you like. i have long periods of time where i only listen to instrumental music. but in the end, the human voice is an instrument in itself and i won't cast its use aside simply because a lot of music focusing on it is shallow or not as good as the instrumental stuff i listen to.

There is something about the sound of another human voice that makes a personal connection unlike anything else. Music dosn't need lyrics to be great, but some of the greatest music ever created contains lyrics. Being able to communicate a direct message to the listener can almost only be done with lyrics, and that is a great thing. Sometimes it's great to be able to get your own meaning of the music, and that's why I love electronica so much, it appeals to the imagination. But, overall, both forms of music (lyrical and non-lyrical), can be just as great as the other.

Lyrics are a dangerous thing for me... I hate most of them, a lot of songs make me cringe. But if someone writes good lyrics, then there's nothing better.
There's also a lot of voices that annoy me...

it depends who's singing and writing the lyrics pretty much. some people write awful lyrics to go over awful songs......
and some people write marvelous ones.

first off.. . its not a song unless its got vocals.. . a song needs to be sung.. . if there are no vocals its a track or a piece.. . sorry.. . its a little peeve of mine.. . cant stand tracks being called songs. ..
and vocals are so loved because its an all most indulgent act to listen to them.. . its human and immediate therefore instantly gratifying unlike instrumental music where you have to be able to listen to and understand the main parts to get something out of it. ..
best vocal music in my opinion is choir type music.. . or vocalisations without words. ..
though I love Pearl Jam and stuff like that. ..

tay (either way)
it depends. i couldn't imagine a lot of IDM would be suitable for lyrics, but i could be wrong on some occasions. i've been more open-minded about lyrics lately, so when i want good lyrics, i go for the hip-hop; dr. octagon or funkstörung in particular.
i dunno. i think it all depends on what the lyrics are about.

I like them sometimes. There are some beautiful singing voices out there, and lyrics sometimes add powerful depth to a song, giving it more emotion than would be possible with instruments alone.

i made this post because after finding good music without lyrics i couldnt go back to songs with lyrics, not that i listened to many in the first place...i assumed when i came here that all aphex fans would think the same way, but you dont...ive tried to be open minded about your opinions, but the constant references to how good you think certain rock songs are is really annoying me.
glitch- i agree that songs have lyrics and instrumentals are tracks or pieces, i didnt mean to imply otherwise...
xlr- i can never consider any voice as 'beautiful'...interesting or catchy perhaps...
anus- no its not a joke :P

I HATE the lyrics/vocals on that DMX Krew mix on 26MFC though, it ruins the song for me.
