I think lyrics mean a lot. Many bands are popular just because of lyrics. I don't know if it's a good example as this band is not much popular outside Russia and Post-Soviet countries but Lumen very popular in Russia because of their lyrics. They discuss political and social problems which have to be discussed. Here is their video with subtitles:
I also very like to analyse lyrics and just read it after listening the song I like. I liked Iron Maiden's "Run To The Hills" so I wanted to know what it is about, I read lyrics and realized that it is about American Indians who were running to the hills to save their life from invaders, that made me love this song twice more. -------------------- Guitar Altamira M01D, Samick Royale 3, Musima Lead Star 1 Effects Boss ME-25 Amp Stagg 40 GA DSP DAW SONAR LE YouTube | Facebook | Last.fm “One day you pick up the guitar and you feel like a great master, and the next day you feel like a fool.

first off, when I started listening to music I didn't know a word in english and I didn't care, I just thought it sounded cool.
But know that I understand it I can't stand cheesy love lyrics. This post has been edited by Daniel Realpe: Jan 5 2011, 06:57 PM -------------------- Visit my:

Then we have stuff like this: Du, du hast Du hast mich Du, du hast Du hast mich Du, du hast Du hast mich Du, du hast Du hast mich Du, du hast Du hast mich Du hast mich Du hast mich gefragt Du hast mich gefragt Du hast mich gefragt Und ich hab nichts gesagt Willst du bis der Tod euch scheidet Treu ihr sein fur alle Tage Nein, nein Willst du bis zum Tod, der scheide Siie lieben auch in schlechten Tagen Nein, nein Pretty repetitive and it wouldn't work if all Rammstein songs were like this. But it just works in German, it's so intense and full of feeling. Good example - this is actually my all time favorite in terms of lyrics - to me you cant beat that. The double meaning of the words in German makes it the best metal lyrics I have heard. What starts as "you hate me" develops in to a wedding ceremony - and the final answer is "NO!" . It's fantastic. Check the bottom of this page while listening to the tune on high volume and you will see what I mean. http://www.sing365.com/music/lyric.nsf/du-...8256caf000abdf1 |
