Music or Lyrics?

I love lyrics, they are what make or break a song for me. =)

both,katherleen. i feel touched by the melody than the lyrics,i like listen to pop music.now,i love to listen "apologize" by timberland.the lyrics are easy to understand.but i think he sings well.especially the line:" it's too late to apologize,it's too late."

The music is more important to me, especially when I'm listening to the song for the first time, because if I don't like the music I'm not going to listen to the song regardless of what the lyrics say. One example I can give you is rap. There are probably some really good rap songs, lyrics-wise, that have a really good story or meaning, but, I absolutely can't stand the way rap sounds. It's annoying to me. I'll never know what good stories lie within the rap music because I can't stand to listen to the music long enough too see.

I always admire a song with its melody.Because i alway listen to softmusic,so ,melody is spirit of a soft song.A poetic lyrics can improve lingering charm of the songs,so i think it both important for me .

it varies. there are many songs that i like but don't care for the lyrics. like radiohead's creep. i don't like when he calls himself a creep and weirdo. i understand he feels inferior. but some songs the lyrics really make it.

moste of the time if i hear a song i think i like i'll read the lyrics. so i know what they are really saying. (hope that made since)

Lyrics like poetry always catch me first . U2 has alot of great lyrics that seem to speak to me . Best is to enjoy both and it is the best of both worlds then . Sometimes , it seems songs are singing our life , ya know
