When you listen to a song, what are you listening for, the lyrics? Or the music? If a song has a really good beat, but the lyrics suck, do you still like it? It’s actually kind of a lose-lose situation. If I hear a song that does’t sound appealing, I’m not even going to stick around to see whats it’s talking about. But if I start listening to a song that sounds good, and then the lyrics are disappointing (ex: ‘gettin paid’, ‘gettin drunk’)— well then…. I automatically lose respect for the artist.  Which makes me think…why doesn’t every musician write about stuff that matters. Seems like a simple solution, doesn’t it? At least they’ll have the lyrics part down. Then… all they gotta do is make it sound good. Nite!
