Do lyrics really matter?

>>74171261
vague and cryptic lyrics are always better.

>>74171261
Yes, but not as much as the music.

>>74171285
Wrong. If a singer has something to say, they should say it. if not,they should just vocalize.

>>74171341
depends on genre & how they fit with music too

>>74171285
>>74171733
Neither are necessarily better.

>>74171261
They mean everything in only a few words

>>74171261
nope.
if an artist try to do that you should remove his music from your pc immediately.

>>74171985
his 'music'

>>74171261
only if you're a retard faggot david bowie fan because lord knows his music isn't interesting enough on its own

Its only an excuse to put the human voice over music

>>74171261
No, but good lyrics can make a song better.

Depends on the genre. They definitely matter in folk/singer-songwriter at least.

>>74172229
What are good lyrics?

>>74172113
lol has to be bait

>>74171261
Yeah. Less than music but they do.

>>74172487
The Smiths

>>74173141
As good as Morrissey's lyrics are they would pretty much be useless without Marr's excellent music.

>>74173357
But his solo work is better than Marr's

Lyrics can obviously enhance music

y'all have been on here for too long

only for opera

>>74173391
Never listened to Marr's solo work desu. Morrissey still, in his solo career, relies on someone else to write the music though.

Yes, but only because of the actual syllables and vowel shapes.

If you care about the words and the "meaning", go read poetry or listen to vapid, pretentious shit like Bob Dylan or Fr. John Misty.

Good music can save bad lyrics. Good lyrics can't save bad music.

>>74173463
This.

>>74173357
That's the point. They make Marr's music better.

>>74173458
>Actually equating Bob Dylan and Father John Misty
If this isn't bait, this is genuinely one of the worst posts I've seen here.

>>74173500
Marr always wrote the music before Morrissey wrote the lyrics though.

No, a story can be told and you can feel something without lyrics. People that ask "Where's the lyrics?" are dumb.

Spoken like true plebs that can't write lyrics

I hate the fact, that English is not my native language. I can't understand most of the words when I hear them, and I don't feel like reading lyrics for like an hour. Both a blessing and a curse.

>can't write lyrics
Writing song lyrics is hardly like writing a fucking poem of literary value you idiot.

>>74173793
I just can't understand people mumbling to a microphone over music.

>>74173558
Nah, they are equally trash

>>74173695

alright senpai post some of your lyrics we'll be the judge
