Do Lyrics Really Matter On A Song?

Some people say all you need is music in a song, however, when it comes to music, do the lyrics really matter? I have to be honest here and say that out of every 10 songs, only one song's lyrics get to you. Combining lyrics with music is a whole another art in it self. If you can bring music and lyrics together in perfect harmony, you got yourself a song that is going to be there for the ages.

Another great thing about lyrics is everyone can get their own meaning from it. It doesn't matter what the artist is trying to say, what matters is what you are getting from the song. You know why? The reason is when the artist created that song, if the artist was a true artist, the lyrics he wrote were for him or herself.

People create music (Real musicians) to express themselves. It's just how the process works. If you like a particular song or think you can related to it in a much more deeper sense, than it just a bonus for the artist who created it. Lyrics to a song or good lyrics can really change a person's view on things in the most non-threatening and non violent way.

Yes the meaning of music is globally the same, but what if you know the language of a particular culture, you seem to understand music a lot more than just a mere translated version. Every language and culture have their own flavor and the best way to experience is to learn the language. Music is music regardless of where it's coming from and music is one of the few things in the world that remind us that we are all the same human beings.

See everything only matters if you think it matters. Do good lyrics make a good beat even better? Naturally yes, but if the meaning is something you can't relate to, than it doesn't matter. Just take some of the songs out there, some people love the lyrics and some are like what the heck is that crap? See if it matters to you, than it matters.
