I always hear the music first. Sometimes it’ll be months or years later when I’ll actually tune into the lyrics and get to be really impressed by them or surprised when I realize what the song is actually about. lol

I basically do not care about lyrics at all. Vocal melodies are as important as any other melody though.

@GlitterEater very true

Instrumentals and vocals (as an instrument)
Penny · 46-50, F
Instrumentals complement the lyrics. So lyrics first though i do like some instruental only music too.

@kodiac I really ought to look more into his music, because I see you suggest him often...Honestly, I'm kind of stuck in this Buckethead world 😅, it's not just his playing but his aesthetic.
But I wish I had as much talent in my body as this kid has in one finger. I'll give a serious listen

@foldedunfolding I'm exited to report that I met my major influence and hero of all things poetic last night.
Got invited backstage for larfs and autographs! The one and only Bard of Salford,Dr.John Cooper Clarke.
~He will be performing live at Austin 3Ten on monday the 25th,along with my new pal Mike Garry,a deep wordsmith in his own right. I've been a huge fan of JCC since I was 18-he is peerless in the punk poetry arena!

The instrumentals, but good lyrics make a good song so much better.

I’m mental about instrumentals. The best music works even without lyrics and vocals. Of course there are tunes that can only be instrumentals. But, sometimes clever people manage to write lyrics even to original instrumentals. I can think of a few.
This track was originally an instrumental, Buckley did the lyrics.

Instrumentals. I often don't pay attention to lyrics at all or don't even understand.
But there are exceptions, of course. I was drawn to a few songs or put off them because of lyrics.

Bit of both. Mostly how it all sounds.
Then again I also have Official Sound Tracks from movies and TV shows on my playlist as well.

It honestly depends. I love literature, poetry, so I can appreciate clever and well thought out lyrics.
But I also enjoy musicians who play their instruments skillfully. Including those with a virtuosity as singers.

@bijouxbroussard completely. I love to watch just as much as listen, and am amazed by skillful musicianship. And I agreed with DDonde, vocals can be just as much an instrument

Little column A, little column B.
But lean more towards instrumentation.

Same. Needs to have a good sound. Most the crap I listen to is instrumental in general these days.
