Music is great in so many ways. Music cam be motivation, inspiration, realization, and even fantasy in many occasions. I found that the songs I really like are the songs I could relate to the most. Sure, the poppy songs that make you want to dance are always nice, but I have no idea what i would do without the songs that are more real, deeper, and meaningful. These are the types of songs I blast my system to when I've had a rough day and need to get away. It's always good to remember that music isn't only sound, but can be words too. Don't get me wrong, I'm a fan of sick guitar solos, or a nasty sounding set of drums, but what really catches my attention in songs are the lyrics. Without the lyrics, a song isn't a song; without lyrics a song just turns into a worldless story. Who wants to listen to a story with no words? So what i challenge you to do is write your own lyrics. Write about anything, perhaps a life experience, or even something that may have upsetted you the day you decided to write these lyrics. I write all the time, so if you'd like to see some of my pieces of work I'd be more than delighted to share them with you and try to help you get started on your own work.
Type of music I listen to when I'm mad or upset: Metal and Screamo music

I agree!! Words are sometimes the most important part of the music. That is one of the weaknesses with Pandora- it does not plays songs with similar messages. There are days that I am looking for music that has a particular theme.
Nice post Eli. I like lyrics, but I sometimes hear them last. What is really odd is that I can't stand instrumentals, but I never really know what they lyrics are to many of the songs, and sometimes I never try to find out. I guess I am 70% melody and 30% lyrics. But 100% in favor of the way you write these posts. Keep them coming.
awesome blog, i dont think i could write that much. lol i love music too, you and i should jam sometime, we could teach eachother our own style so our styles can become more complex
I totally agree. Music is a feeling, not just a sound or a hobby. You have to feel the message thats being sent to you.
