the music i like is about the beat. thats what music is. the words come second to me. i guess it is diffrent for each artist, like lily allen, i love her upbeat tunes, thats why i love her, and her words dont really mean as much as the feel good rythmn. jeremy messersmith, and bob dylan, on the other hand, are 2 artists that really get me with their words. it is very deep, having many meanings, and the music sorta seconds it. it fits the mood that the words portray, and it fits. kate nash, much like lily allen, is about the beat, but it is also about the words, cuz they are so personal, they really show who she is, and so does her music, thats why i like her so much, she is genuine. the decemberists really impress me with the stories they not only tell in a song, but with an album, it is beautifully laced together in a tapestry of beautiful music. death cab for cutie at first got me with the sound, but looking deeper, and listening to the words brings out so much more in their music. regina is another one of those amazing artists that harnesses not only the words, but the rythmn, and beat. what really draws me to music is not the words but the sound, cuz that is primarily what music is. words can take so many other forms, but music takes one, thats why i am initially drawn to the beat, not what the artist is saying. but if i am intrigued, i take a closer look.
