....who doesn't like lyrics in music? On rare occasions, I like it, but most of the time I don't want to think about music or have people telling me what to think about their music in it. I hear enough people talking during my day, I don't want to listen to them when I am trying to relax. Either to relax or to set a mood are the two reasons I listen to music. Lyrics seem to make the mood so blatantly obvious and contrived for me that it feels diluted. A few exceptions. I do listen to music with lyrics if I can't understand them, because then I can relate to them as an instrument and nothing more. I can deal with a few words, as they serve as a good breakup for the music, but when singing dominates a whole song, I can't take it. |

You listen to music to relax or to set a mood. Lolz |
||||||||

|

Yep. |

That's exactly what I have a problem with. I will enjoy songs with lyrics once in a while, but I too don't want my thoughts to be "directed" or influenced by lyrics in music; I can relax and imagine things much more easily with instrumental music. |

Y'know. For mah ladies. |

i mostly prefer instrumental music. most lyrics are uninteresting to me, and i find if i compare what i hear to a lyric sheet i always prefer the inaccurate, distorted version. so you're not alone. |

Whoa chill out. I'm not criticizing anyone's musical opinion. I was just wondering if anyone felt the same way. I took that out of the original post because I thought I would be unnecessary.... |

i don't like it when lyrics are repeated over and over; when the second verse is the same as the first. i am a dog i sniff my but i am dog a smelly mut i am a dog i am a dog i am a dog i sniff my but i am dog a smelly mut i am a dog i am a...DOG. but that's nonsense really, i have no problems with lyrics. |

I love lyrics/vocals. Sorry, bud. |

if there were no vocalists then there would be no andrea corr. so you're wrong. |

Yeah lyrics, I mean WHAT'S THAT ALL ABOUT??????? and like songs, I mean they're totally, like linear and in a rigid structure of, like, WORDS and MUSIC, HELLO you can't have BOTH y'know... God... words, I mean words about... stuff that limits what the MUSIC could be about. I want it left to my interpretation. I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean imagine right, imagine Gantz Graf with lyrics!!!!!!!!!???!?!?! Fucking ruin it, what would the song be about, you know "love" or some other cliché. Tsssh. Fucking singing. |

I read a book the other day, fucking full of words. I just want to look at the pages and imagine for myself what it's all about. Y'know. I only ever buy blank sketch books. Novels? FUCK OFF!!!!!!!!!!! |

I bought a CD, a bloody CD... right, and it has the cheek to tell ME what songs I should listen to ... AND IN WHAT ORDER. And it came in a sleeve with all this information I DID NOT WANT. I only ever listen to blank CD Rs so I can imagine what the greatest album in the world sounds like, in a non linear, formless, ever changing order. |

you must not be a fan of hip hop - which i think is a shame - i love that goddamn genre - the big pants, funny cold chains, silly oversized hats & t-shirts, hoes, blunts, shooting, its all so glorious one song that proves how great lyrics are is "word play" by bahamadia !!! |

Personally, i dont like lyrics in electronic music. Often times (if someone is singing) it comes across as awkward. I stayed away from the new Telefon Tel Aviv because i heard that it had vocals. That ruined me in advance. But on the other hand i like vocals in various bands so i guess it comes down to genre for me. |

I don't really have a preference one way or the other, there's good music on both sides. But I do like to sing along an awful lot. |

No you're not the only one but you people are all probably social rejects. |

No please continue. I'd really like to hear how you rationalize calling someone else's opinion ignorant. |

I hate 99% of lyrics in music. The 1% being the genius idea of cutting up speech and mixing it in with the beats aka Ae/Boards |
||||||||

|

Why? |

wow. that's... radical. |

I like lots of music, actually, I just should have said that I am much less often in the mood to listen to anything with lyrics. I actually do like hiphop when the voice is an instrument, not a means by which to brag about bitches and the such. I actually prefer them to have nonsense lyrics. |

I tend to agree. I like many rock bands that use lyrics, but the stuff I actually appreciate the most artistically is instrumental. It seems more pure. Lyrics can be well done, but sometimes it kinda cheapens the music.. brings it back down to reality when it could have been transcendant, so to speak. Electronic music often seems to be better without lyrics, whereas culturally specific music, music that is obviously a product of its time and makes references to current trends/ideologies (usually rock) is well suited to it.. even needs it. Naturally, however, this can be reversed, i.e. artrock vs. pop trance. |

Sometimes I like lyrics/vocals and sometimes... I don't. Some music I listen to has lyrics/vocals and some... doesn't. I love it when it's in another language, real or fictional. Sometimes I want VOCALS, but not LYRICS. The human voice is really nice but it can say some pretty asinine things at times. Lyrics rule though wtflol |

i care about lyrics and when i love a track i always want to know the lyrics to it... it happened me several times to not know and not search the lyrics to some song/album for months, but it annoys me when the lyrics aren't included in the booklet nor on the official site; especially when they're hard to decipher. i'd really like to know the lyrics to melvins songs for example; if you search them on the internet you'll find dozens of sometimes really different interpretations... no way to know. no way to really sing along even in your head (unless you do "yogurt singing" - but that's more annoying and frustrating than anything else). there are very very few songs i listen to for the lyrics and not for the music (one of them being Nous n'avons fait que fuir by Noir Désir/Bertrand Cantat - sorry people, it's in french). when the lyrics to some song i know are crap i usually feel a bit ashamed of liking it. Eels' lyrics (among others) are pretty great in my opinion. |

there are very very few songs i listen to for the lyrics and not for the music I can't really think of ANYTHING that I listen to exclusively or particularly for the lyrics... maybe Leonard Cohen kind of, but even then, I think his melodies and aesthetics are underrated. I love singing along to his songs. There's precious little lyricists that can write stuff that I can relate to or that moves me, yet I still love lyrics. I'm not even sure why. Most of my favorite songs have lyrics that mean nothing to me but I wouldn't have it any other way. |
||||||||

I probably should have said ''precious FEW lyricists'' instead of ''precious little lyrcists''. Sounded like I was talking about dwarfs or midgets or whatever those abominations call themselves these days. |

I can't really think of ANYTHING that I listen to exclusively or particularly for the lyrics... i think last year i would have said the same. : ) actually Nous n'avons fait que fuir may be the only song i listen to for the lyrics... (it's a cd-book, even, and was a poem before being turned into a song) i remember i had thought of another one but i forgot. |

through the eyes of ruby by the smashing pumpkins is one of my favourite songs ever, yet i can't really relate to the lyrics (i've never been in love, so how could i?). |

Why you ask? Lyrics are too old fashioned, normal, boring, cheap. I don't really see lyrics as music. Merzbow on the other hand... |

I imagine you have some emotional shortcomings and those who know you personally would corroborate this. |

Drawing a distinction between lyrics and other sounds in music is really arbitrary. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
No it isn't. Lyrics have associated meanings, alot more than other music does. |

|

My personality is based around emotional shortcomings. Having someone talk over music is like having your mum hoover over The Simpsons |

Bullshit. Where's the line? What if it's so processed you can't understand it? What if some people can understand it and others can't? A foreign language? |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|

If you can't understand it, then it obviously doesn't mean anything to you. |
