What's matters more to you, lyrics or melody?

As an ex-amateur musician, I will like a song based on the melody. Some songs may have good lyrics, but the melody may not be great, hence, I will dislike that song.

word
like yall should get into poetry

@WritingWithStars

Melody, probably. I mean, I can like the lyrics too- but it’s honestly the melody that gets me hooked to a song.

vibes

@WritingWithStars

I prefer reading books and reading poetry for that sort of deeper meaning.

ik like i came here to jam

@WritingWithStars

If the lyrics are bad - like racist or something I definitely won’t listen to it.

@Kbail

If the lyrics are satanic or something I would stay away from it

@Littlefeets

Sometimes I will listen to a song primarily because of a single lyric.

okay but word
sometimes that shii hits different
UGH, flashbacks

@anon80318563

Sometimes the lyrics will put me off if they’re really offensive.

It can be the best melody ever, but if I hear a lyric that doesn’t make sense or just sounds weird… I’m completely put off by the song

you don’t make sense to me.

@KiaraTheSnek

I usually more attracted to the melody the first time I hear a song but the longer I hear it the longer I dug into the lyrics. Sometimes the lyrics is what makes me love the song even more.

@ThePoeticRaven

It depends on what song I’m listening to. Until about a year ago, it was the melody that mattered. Nowadays, it’s usually the lyrics that matter more to me.

@anon68003072

With this said I think it depends on the song, there are some songs where I feel the melody is a little weak but the lyrics help it out.

Rad relatable lyrics are my all time favorites but melody is important too because well
It’s music
You gotta listen to it

The melody. I do care about the lyrics, but not that much. If the melody isn’t good then I’ll probably not listen to it again.

As the bigget song lover, I’d say Lyrics are of course important and makes the song more delighted… but song is about melody. Even if the song doesn’t have good lyrics, you can enjoy singing it bcz of the melody, but if the lyrics is good and melody isn’t, then it will suck
