Lyrical Integrity

[yanis]

Music is most important for me if there are good lyrics even better! Lyrics sometimes are good to remember the title of the song I like! And I could listen a song without lyrics too, if I like the music...like FF songs!

Not necessarily. I've connected just as deeply with songs with a.) pretty incomprehensible lyrics and b.) songs with no lyrics at all.

Yeah, that's a good point. I guess with instrumental music you make your own interpretations. I like GY!BE because the sound recordings offer you a way in (except for yanqui - but that was pretty rubbish). Explosions in the Sky don't, and that might be part of the reason I find it harder to connect with their music.

We all have our own diverse opinions...

I've always found it an interesting, surreal thing when artists are able to create a dreamy, sensual atmosphere by having disjointed, odd lyrics coupled with various instruments and/or moments of silence or white noise. Of course, not many can pull this off well, but some can.

It's truly genius, if not magical.
