I am wondering if I should stop looking up song lyrics... I usually
like knowing what I'm listening to so that I can relate more to the
song, draw connections, and make a visual in my head.. It's fun
knowing what artist's are saying.. But, it can be time consuming..
And, lately, it is disappointing. I've come across some great sounds,
but also uninspiring words... One example, I thought I was listening
to a love song, and it turns out to be about death. Or, I'll hear a
pure sound, and then the words are kind of creepy. I know some artists
are ironic, and they have fun.. I'm just more of an honest simple
feeling person, unless it's The Smiths which make me laugh.. I'm just
trying to listen to more joyful, beautiful sounds, without the angst
I'm used to... hoping it will help my mood.. So, should I forget about
the lyrics, and just enjoy the music? Any good, beautiful inspiring
music? I like Brazilian (when I took samba I heard great music, but
don't know any artists :(] music, Negramaro, Andalusian, Belly dance
and Beethoven and Vivaldi. I've just discovered shoegaze. The
prettiest lyrics seem to be in Latin languages (Pedro Infante). In
English, I enjoy America, Bob Dylan, and Chet Baker, Dead Can Dance,
and The Duke Spirit. Thank you!! I'm looking for similar, and new
artists though, thank you. If this question belongs on a different
post, I will post it there, thanks !!
