We listen to beats more than the lyrics nowadays. I do bother about lyrics when I'm listening to music because it will help me to know what I'm listening and what the song is all about. I do search about the lyrics of music if I wanted to join in singing the song.
That is for me as well. I believe there are a couple of songs that have deep lyrics that we should always listen to and sing along when the music is playing. How to Love by Lil Wayne has a lot of deep meanings and when I listen to that song, it reminds me a lot about my past love life.
There are many songs that I have to check out the lyrics and sing along. Every of Michael Jackson songs are what I look for the lyrics because all of his songs are talking about children, the world and suffering too. I can download the lyrics, learn it so that I will not be confused if any of the song is playing.
