Default Re: why do you like the music you like?

Music is much more important than lyrics. I'm a big fan of songs that are either constantly changing or build up, adding more and more layers of instruments with each verse. "Superstition" by Stevie Wonder, "The Bleeding Heart Show" by The New Pornographers, "Happiness Is A Warm Gun" by The Beatles, and "The Crane Wife Part 3" by The Decemberists are some examples.

Female vocals usually are a big plus for me though.

same here...although sometimes a gorgeous song like The New Pornographers Go Places perplexes me with its lyrics:

Yes a heart will always go one step too far
Come the morning and the four corners I see
What the moral of the back story could be
Come with me, go places

And a heart will always stay one day too long
Always hoping for the hot flashes to come
For the glue to dry on our new creation
Come with me, go places

Come head on, full circle
Our arms fill with miracles
Play hearts, kid, they work well
Like classics play aces
Stay with me, go places
Once more for the ages

Yes a heart should always go one step too far
Come the morning and the day winding like dreams
Come the morning every blue shade of green
Come with me, go places

Come head-on, full circle
Our arms fill with miracles
Play hearts, kid, they work well
Like magic, play aces
Stay with me, go places
Once more for the ages

Come one now, come all ye
This story breaks free here
Tales from the back pages
From somewhere, Encida
Deus ex machina
Good morning, Christina


Come head on, full circle
Our path blocked but sure we'll
Make records, then set them
Make copies, win races
Stay with me, go places
Once more for the ages


I love this song but... say what???
