Reply to Lyrics or the music? by meganelizabethjade

Depends on genre. I listen to a fair bit of punk, post-punk, hardcore, whatever you wanna call loud fast music that isn’t metal. (Thrash is the closest I’ll go.)

Half the time I can’t understand what they’re singing until I do a listen with the lyrics in front of me. So for that I judge based on music, whether or not I like it enough to spend more time with it.

Hip hop is half music half lyrics, beats gotta slap but I also want them to say something.

Twangy old country I listen to more for the lyrics. Like Townes Van Zandt, most of his songs are pretty simple musically speaking, couple fingerpicked chords and some unique lead lines here and there, but a lot of just “one voice, one guitar” which lets the lyrical content take centre stage.

Reply to “You’re so Vain” Confusion by TexitorFlexit

I always assumed that the song was actually about her and her struggles with that person. Saying that he's so vain that even when she's trying to talk about herself having problems, he still thinks it's about him.

Depends on the song, actually.

I love the lyrics in Sally Simpson because they tell a story (and it rocks) as opposed to the lyrics in the world's worst song, We Built this City which is just banal garbage.

Reply to comment by tacobell999 in Jimmy Carter's relationship with the Allman Brothers Band helped him become president by 9mac

He negotiated the first treaty between Israel and an Arab country. He took action on climate change before it was popular to do so. His administration was not corrupt. And by not corrupt I mean that there was nothing, no indictments, no scandals. Carter was the last honest man to hold the office. That fact alone puts him head and shoulders above those that came after him.

Reply to What's one of your favorite appearances on songs from other artists that aren't listed on the title track? by Quick-kick95

Tanya Donnelly from The Throwing Muses/Belly on Catherine Wheel's "Judy Staring At The Sun". Interesting note: On the album, she only sings the chorus, but in the video she sings the second verse as well. I linked the video, bc that version is the best.

Kate Pierson from the B52s on Iggy Pop's "Candy".
