We do listen to the radio at work sometimes, which is better. We’re not allowed, though, so we have to be careful. The other day they were playing clips from The Simpsons of a guest band’s appearance, and then they would play a song from the band. I think... I think they got everyone but the Ramones! :chuckle:

They are unworthy.

Kidding.

Also, a lyric does not have to be a technical masterpiece for me to enjoy it. I find that when I’m tired, I find listening to lyrically simple (but not stupid) songs much more relaxing. But... maybe that’s because I’m usually tired after work, and the songs that play there are generally so horrible that anything is soothing. Who knows!

*ruins moment*

Awesome. :D It doesn't REALLY matter to me either way, but I like knowing that it does matter to you. Maybe it's stupid, but it bothers me that my brother can't tell a good songwriter. But maybe that's just cause I put a lot of emphasis on words and I love words and more often than not it's the lyrics that get to me and make me all speechless and whoa, and not the music.

Lyrics matter to me. If they are in a song, then they are part of the song, so they matter. Ignoring them would be like looking at a painting, and covering up a part of it. That’s not to say I will hate a song I like the sound of it it has horrible lyrics. Songs are different, and the way to listen to them are different, but that’s getting off-center. I suppose... interpretation of lyrics, is also important and interesting. Some people hate it, but I like the way a song and its lyrics can mean one thing to me, another thing to someone else, and once more something completely different to the writer.

I know I'm totally changing the subject here, but are lyrics important to you? I don't mean understanding them or anything like that, but...do you recognize when a song's lyrics are particularly good, or are you like my brother, and it doesn't matter to you and you can't tell the difference either way?

Typically, their girlfriends have pet rats that run around their clothes while they are on a bus.

Yeah, I agree. I just want to take scissors to it. How can they stand it. And how can they have girlfriends what the smurf is wrong with them.

They are more gross than creepy.
