How much do lyrics matter to you?

Lyrics matter sooo much. I would say the most important factor in deciding whether I am going to love a song or a group on a long-term basis. I have to feel on the same wavelength, have to relate to something in the lyrics.

But vocals and lead guitar are also very, very important. My favourite bands seem to be those where all three are strong in most cases, with the occasional exception.

Kind of hard to sing along to if there isn't anything to sing. Ok ok, can you still hum to it?

Lyrics is a grand part of the music, but you can still be inspired by a single instrument, an orchestra, an instrumental piece, the same as by someone singing acappella. As stated elsewhere, depends on your mood, emotion, and mind set at the time.

lyrics are really important for me in songs. i always look them up for songs so i can understand what its about, and so i understand what they are saying.
