How do you choose your music? There are songs with beautiful melodies but with lyrics that are almost foolish. Some music, though, has meaningful lyrics, yet their tune doesn't appeal to me. It's a dilemma sometimes when choosing a song and creating a playlist. Which can you tolerate more with your music?
I really never consider which. It either appeals to me to not. There are songs though that I come to enjoy after initially not giving much thought to.
Hey, I noticed you're fairly new, so welcome to the forum. I guess I'll go with the melody, since I often misunderstand the lyrics anyway.
I will have to go with melody since I can afford to listen to songs I don't even understand. Even when songs are in a different language, I come to appreciate them because of their melody. Besides, I prefer instrumental and classical songs over lyrical ones.
I rarely pay attention to the lyrics unless I fully know the song. I'd rather have music with great melodies since it helps with my imagination. Some tunes bring me back in time, and I find these types of music exciting.
Both! Some songs just hit me in "the feels", others I love the melody. I guess it just depends on my mood. That is why I love music, it helps determine my mood.
With Spotify, I'd search for a genre that I'm feeling at that moment. I don't go into details when looking for songs, and I seem fine with the recommendations. I think I'd be more tolerant of petty lyrics since I imagine myself choosing next if the tune is too rough.
