Do lyrics really matter?

Do lyrics really matter?

vague and cryptic lyrics are always better.

Yes, but not as much as the music.

Wrong. If a singer has something to say, they should say it. if not,they should just vocalize.

depends on genre & how they fit with music too

Neither are necessarily better.

They mean everything in only a few words

nope.
if an artist try to do that you should remove his music from your pc immediately.

his 'music'

only if you're a retard faggot david bowie fan because lord knows his music isn't interesting enough on its own

Its only an excuse to put the human voice over music

No, but good lyrics can make a song better.

Depends on the genre. They definitely matter in folk/singer-songwriter at least.

What are good lyrics?

lol has to be bait

Yeah. Less than music but they do.

The Smiths

As good as Morrissey's lyrics are they would pretty much be useless without Marr's excellent music.

But his solo work is better than Marr's

Lyrics can obviously enhance music

y'all have been on here for too long

only for opera

Never listened to Marr's solo work desu. Morrissey still, in his solo career, relies on someone else to write the music though.

Yes, but only because of the actual syllables and vowel shapes.

If you care about the words and the "meaning", go read poetry or listen to vapid, pretentious shit like Bob Dylan or Fr. John Misty.

Good music can save bad lyrics. Good lyrics can't save bad music.

This.

That's the point. They make Marr's music better.

>Actually equating Bob Dylan and Father John Misty
If this isn't bait, this is genuinely one of the worst posts I've seen here.

Marr always wrote the music before Morrissey wrote the lyrics though.

No, a story can be told and you can feel something without lyrics. People that ask "Where's the lyrics?" are dumb.

Spoken like true plebs that can't write lyrics

I hate the fact, that English is not my native language. I can't understand most of the words when I hear them, and I don't feel like reading lyrics for like an hour. Both a blessing and a curse.

>he doesn't understand spoken English
get out of my American website europoor

>can't write lyrics
Writing song lyrics is hardly like writing a fucking poem of literary value you idiot.

I just can't understand people mumbling to a microphone over music.

Nah, they are equally trash

alright senpai post some of your lyrics we'll be the judge
