Have you ever wondered what really draws you to music. Is it the voice of the singer, or the instruments used to play the song? Or maybe it's the fact that it's calming, or crazy and fast paced? To me it's mostly about the lyrics, the meaning of the song, the feeling. Sure, there are a few songs I like just for the beat or the mood they put me in, but really, the only way for me to actually really get into a song is for me to hear the words, to know the lyrics, to in some way understand them. I can hardly listen to a song without the lyrics. Whether its because I relate to the song in a way, or I just understand the pain they are going through. Take, for example, screamo. I used to absolutely HATE it. But then a very close friend of mine had me listen to a few songs every now and then, just to try it, to hear the words, because he was trying to tell me something. After hearing the lyrics, they either gave me such a happy feeling, or let me feel their pain, that I felt a draw towards the music, and now it's becoming my favorite kind of music. I still have a little trouble with some songs every once in a while, but every day I love it more and more.
