Echosoftom 3 Report post Posted April 9, 2009 I'd have to say both. But I do lean a little more towards lyrics. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Refugee 7 Report post Posted April 9, 2009 For me, it's the music. The lyrics come later for me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KansasPettyFan 1 Report post Posted April 9, 2009 Definitely music. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weird monkey 0 Report post Posted April 9, 2009 Music. I'm really bad at parsing lyrics. On the other hand, some people are able to craft a song whose lyrics are not always immediately clear or sensical, yet still convey a sense of what they are singing about.

Trishia4 28 Report post Posted April 9, 2009 I have to say initially the music and after listening to the song several times, I get attached to the lyrics. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mudcrutch 285 Report post Posted April 9, 2009 music. lyrics are usually "good" because of the music/melody. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Square One 0 Report post Posted April 9, 2009 Both!! I honestly couldn't say one or the other. A really great melody can pull me into the song but then the lyrics can put me off or alternately the lyrics can make me more intrigued and the melody is just an underscore.... and then the best is when the two fit seamlessly together and you just completely fall in love with the song.

Ladywiz 4 Report post Posted April 9, 2009 Both...and when I write songs both come in at the same time. Its like I hear it in my head and have to scramble to get it all down. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Softanimal 7 Report post Posted April 9, 2009 ^ Me too. Most annoying is that all the good text and music comes to me when I am out, riding my bike! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SingsInFrench 262 Report post Posted April 9, 2009 Music first, then lyrics. If I can't decipher the lyrics, I'll just stick with the music. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
