Quiet Man Cometh
We're all mad here.
I like lyrics that sound pleasant, even if they seen silly or make little sense. What drives me nuts are songs that are written with very obvious or forced poetics. If the lyrics are complicated or intricate, I prefer the song to me minimal in design, with fewer intruments or elaborate stretches of music and what not. I guess I like something of an inverse relationshp between complexity of lyrics and complexity of music.
I like to sing too, though it's been some time since I've done anything outside of moments on my own. I gravitate towards songs that are pleasant to sing, where the lyrics make up the melody more than the intruments.
I know this doesn't particularly talk about specific words or sentences but I like it when the voice feels like an intrument itself.
Some of songs where I like the voicework would be Nightwish "Kuolema Tekee Taiteilijan" (I love it even though I don't understand it), Triakel "En Vacker Vän" and Stone Sour "Bother," all with fairly simple instrument work.
Tea?
