Should I stop looking up song lyrics?
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 !!
