Are lyrics important to you? I need to know the lyrics to songs I like (except for instrumental/classical etc.) and have good recall for lyrics to songs I’ve only heard a few times, I sing along to songs in the car all the time by habit and my wife is amazed that I know the lyrics to obscure songs, she recently disclosed to me she doesn’t listen to lyrics and likes songs pu…

Album names that are not song names but lyrics Often times an album is named after a song on the album like “Master of Puppets” by Metallica or The Strokes’ “Is This It?” “Nevermind” by Nirvana is not a song name but part of a lyric in “Smells Like Teen Spirit.” The same with “Use Your Illusion” by Guns N’ Roses is in “Locomotive.” Are there any other examples of this? Certainly there are, w…

Songs where the music and lyrics/meaning don’t match? I’m specifically in search of songs that sound sweet/nostalgic/etc whose lyrics, once you listen to them, actually aren’t.

How much do you listen to lyrics? Right now I listen to about 15 bands. But my music library is expanding continually and I just can’t imagine remembering lyrics to all the bands. (Btw. english is not my main language and I usually don’t understand it without a text). After all, it’s the feeling and the vibe that gets me into listening to songs, but it’s a shame to miss the cont…

Incredible melodies/music that were wasted on subpar lyrics/vocals? I feel like subpar/simple melodies are not an issue at all when paired with incredible vocals/lyrics, but it feels like a real waste when an incredible tune is paired with subpar lyrics/vocals. submitted by /u/m43l5tr0m

How is everyone able to understand the lyrics in music? Throw away acount, because I feel very stupid, beyond belief. How is everyone able to understand the lyrics in music without first looking up the lyrics? I can barely tell the difference beetween if its a musical beat or a voice half the time, or more. I like music. I just can’t understand what they are saying most of the time if not all the tim…

Why Some Artists Prevent Their Lyrics From Being Allowed Online Curious if anyone knows the benefit or reason why an artist would prefer to make their lyrics less accessible or why lyrics are sometimes subject to DCMA take down requests without an apparent reason.

What do you think is one of the best single line lyrics of all time? The lyric I heard that made me ponder this question was Shania Twain’s “Man, I feel like a woman” (not the title, but the lyric).
