Music OR Lyrics?





Music or lyrics? Preferrably both. But which is more important? If song lyrics are very cruel or stupid or immoral, I'll hate the song no matter how fun or compelling the music is. However, if the lyrics are merely mundane, I can listen over and over to a song of catchy music (think Dynamite by Taio Cruz). Contrariwise, if the music is mundane, I adore a song of profound lyrics (think One Day by Matisyahu). In fact, I'll love a song of profound lyrics even if the music is downright awful. Therefore, lyrics are more important.


By the way, Music and Lyrics, the movie, is one of the few romantic comedies that are actually funny, and I enjoy it.
