Caring about lyrics in music is like caring about plot in film. Only plebs do it.

I usually focus on the instrumentals, but every once in a while I'll read through the lyrics whilst listening to the songs. That way you can focus on the lyrics.

I don't think listening to the lyrics necessarily makes a song more enjoyable, whatever you normally focus on listening to music probably does.

I always used to give equal weightage to both lyrics and the instrumentals. When I got into Radiohead and other similar bands, I just stopped thinking of lyrics as an important aspect. I started treating the voice as another instrument in the song and completely changed my way of thinking. I still don't know most of the lyrics to my fav albums even though I've been listening to them for close to a decade now.

you didn't think radiohead lyrics were enjoyable? They're one of the reasons I want to learn to listen to lyrics

It wasn't about enjoying as much as it was about thom's voice blending in with the instrumentation. I didn't think it was a requirement anymore. I paid a lot more attention to the music. OKC and Kid A are great albums musically, with or without the lyrics.
