Word vs. Rhyme


When you listen to music, do you find yourself listening to the beat and rhythm of a song, or do you listen to the words and messages sung? Have you ever sat and listened to the actual words being said in a song? It may surprise you what the actual meanings are or the blatant words that you may even sing yourself that you would never actually say to anyone. Somehow though, here you are spitting rhymes that your mother may be very ashamed of. Is it really important how a song is sung or what is sung in the song? I personally enjoy well-developed rhythms and rhymes, and am usually not phased by some of the meaning behind them. However, I find that songs with positive meaning or meaning I can better relate to are more powerful to me and aren’t just songs that are catchy that I can’t get out of my head.
