I know that music is made for all of us to listen to, but how many of us listen to the music? If the ‘beat’ is good can you honestly say that the ‘words’ or the ‘message’ of the song has reached you? I have always thought about it and it kinda boggles the mind.
Something else that I think about rather often is… What makes a good song? I had a look at the music on my mp3 player the other day and most of the tracks I can honestly say I would listen to anytime, but there is a select few that I just can’t remember loading or ever liking.
Is music one of the social things that we like coz we heard it loud at a party or club a while back and we think that it is best or do we make our minds because something in the sing speaks to us?
I have recently started listening to a more blues/jazz vibe and in this genre it is important to listen to the ‘message’ because the melody doesn’t do justice to what the artist intended of that I am sure (Corinne Baley Rae and James Morrison comes HIGHLY recommended)
Rap is another genre that the lyric is important, the problem is the message is the same for the majority of the songs… I got money, girls want me, I was shot (by a water pistol or bb gun) so I am unstoppable. In my honest opinion I think that for rap there are a few artists that actually use what they have to add to the world. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t think that music should be depro, but I do think that at least we get something from the song otherwise it is just like TV… making fools out of all of us. Please note: Weird gold teeth or nasty and unsanitary. Not Ayoba!
If music should feed the soul then make sure that Jamie Oliver is cooking… so that it is good all the time.
