Going to be harsh... in order to play your selection I paused Leonard Bernstein playing this:

@SW-User Also a beautiful piece…The one I sent you, was one that immediately came to mind when I wrote my response.

What I really want to hear is something non-poetical from the likes of Byron. Something unconstructed.

Melody. I don't think there is one song that I know all the lyrics too.

"Happy Birthday to you"? But you have to know the person's name; damn!

Both can be meaningful. What I really hate is when the lyrics are drowned by the instruments (Someone pre-pubescent on the sound board?) or are otherwise unintelligible, maybe with exaggerated regional accents & vernacular.

@SW-User What scheme is that - can you spell it out? Is music insignificant to it; are songs and words?
('Hate' was too strong a word and I shouldn't have used it. My irritation is significant to me; and if there's a 'scheme of things' I appear to be part of it.)

The scheme of what is really important. Like children dying in never-ending wars.
I overreacted, to be honest. Melody to me is everything as far as music is concerned. Lyrics are a pleasant adjunct. A filling out. But the melody is paramount.

@SW-User I'm sickened, horrified and despondent about much (nearly all) of what's happening in the world, but I can still give some importance to whether my egg is cooked the way I like it. I can even overreact if it's not!
Happy Father's Day (whether you're a Dad or not 🙂)
Oh, music ... yes to melody, harmony, appropriate rhythm, pace & dynamic variation. As for lyrics well delivered, 'Nessun Dorma' and 'Universal Soldier' would be lost without them.
(Second edit) but melody IS paramount so we can forget r*p and screaming cacophony.
