A fundamental problem with society is that we worship singers too much. Before rock n roll there were poet authors who changed peoples' lives through an ability to think deeply and create connecting stories. People like Herman Hesse, Leo Tolstoy, and Frederich Nietzche. Now people shape their lives around rock stars and people who make cool noises. People think lil peep and kurt cobain are great men of history when in reality they were basically crying modelesque babies til the day they died young.

yeah
Luke Smith
We still have that
Whether you like it or not some rappers do that like Kendrick Lamar
Zachary Brown
Literally couldn't think of anything gayer then trying to sit and "think deeply" while I'm trying to rock the fuck out. Shut up idiot.

if you think any of the lyrics of Kendrick Lamar are on the level of a good author you don't know what a good book is. And I actually like a lot of his music
Aaron Butler
I am a hot singer lmao stfu

The problem isn't the worship of singers instead of storytellers, it's not worshiping the greatest musical storyteller alive.
David Flores
That's because singing is actually hard and scribbling your gay little narratives down isn't.
Noah Walker
The fact that you have to sing the words you write means they can't stand on their own. That's why many great musicians say not to read into their lyrics too much, because at the end of the day it's just a song. Yet you still have midwits and below writing paragraphs on Genius while completely missing the mark

Come back when you know music theory.

You just don't know yet.
Cooper Lopez
I bet I know more theory than you. Also this comment is irrelevant to my post. I'm saying lyrics, by definition, will never be on the same level as good prose or non-lyrical poetry
Sebastian Smith
true, we really don't appreciate yeezy's greatness enough.

Dude listen to the timbre, inflection, vibrato, pitch. The words don't matter. If the 'artist' is a shitty singer turn it off, that's my rule. Bob dylan? into the garbage it goes. The point is to convey feeling with sound the words are just superficial icing. I like a lot of foreign music so I can enjoy singing without having to endure a narrative some faggot wants to inflict on me.
Jaxson Howard
In many ways, I prefer not knowing the language and just enjoying the sound, like you say. But I like lyrics in English and them telling a story as well. Probably about 60/40 on how much I listen to each kind.
Wyatt Lewis
Yeah I like the technically difficult but simple unpretentious narratives in classic country for example because they don't meander and they don't pretend to be anything more than they are. I also like this guy he is the only rappist I still listen to because it isn't retarded or trying too hard.

Actually, no one compares to Andy Shauf at this point. His story-centric songs tower above anyone else I've heard of any genre. No flowery language either, just real human moments.
Tyler Turner
This dude reminds me of the original Wicker Man music.

you are so far missing the point it is incredible you have dubs. I'm not saying music sucks, I'm saying as literature it's not on the level of good prose writing and for this reason people should stop looking up to musicians so much as conveyors of Truth
