Lyrics ! How important is it in Music ?



Music , it is the best thing in the world. Some people take it in a different way but the music its there. It depends the mood of the listener , what kind of mood the person in. Also music cures the loneliness , it has something so magical . It makes you sing in the shower or even in the workplace itself.

But how important the lyrics is ? Lyrics are so strong in a song and by utilising is important the lyrics itself. Coming to the point of lyrics , every word of it ,it means something. And when people listen to it , everyone take it different way and go to their imaginary world .Also as i mentioned earlier , it depends on the mood of the listener. Most of us  think song writing is a skill that can't be taught. After all, it is often a matter of finding expression for very personal ideas and themes; and beyond the traditional instruction to write about what you know, people are often reluctant to give or receive advice. This is particularly true in the case of writing words . Everyone has their own understandings, philosophy and emotions, and lyric writing often is a matter of expressing these. However, pop lyrics are often written to achieve other things in addition to exploring their authors' feelings. And in any case, the ways in which people express their private feelings in song lyrics are learned — through schooling, through practice and, above all, through listening to other people's music.

In terms of lyrics, it depends how you as a singer present it  and if you can come up with and present it the right way and that is it .You  just caught the audience .Do you remember in Britain's Got Talent , Bar and Melody  they wrote the song about bullying and presented with a hip hop. The lyrics was so beautiful and had strong ,meaning of it. As a victim of the bullying in school , how do you take and when you don't have friend or father . It just made the listener eyes full of tear drops .

Other night  I met this guy , name is  Benji Warner , charming and very talented .I asked him what do you do ? He said he write lyrics and sing .I listened to his music and it took me as I am driving in a silent road , with darkness all over the place , my destination is long way to go and the song was only companion. It's beautiful and he has wonderful voice. He has not published any music yet . He writes wonderful lyrics and the song  "Pieces"  has so much deep meaning in it. I am sure he will be popular very soon. And this is when it comes  when someone  write words to their songs because they have ideas, opinions or stories that they want to be heard by an audience, or because they want to make their audience feel particular emotions, or because they want their audience to identify with them. On the other hand others write words because it's conventional for the style of music in which they're working to have lyrics, or because the human voice is an important musical instrument in that style and it needs to have some words to sing. And people love it because the same thing you are going through. This is when the songs come with strong deep meaning lyrics.

A hypocritical lyric will come off as such very quickly and is a great way to mislay your listener. No matter what your idea or theme is in your song, your lyrics need to connect with you in order for them to take a life of their own. Or else the lack of certainty behind them will make the lyrics feel sour.
