How important are song lyrics to you?  Or is it the tune that matters most?

For a song to catch me it has to have both lyrics and beat. Lyrically it has to have a point and the beat has to be steady and not all over the place. \n\nI like emo/alternative/punk music, it's what fits me

Okay, you need to be more specific. Do you have any of the lyrics?

A strong memorable melody. Lyrics that people can relate to. They also need a good "hook". This can be in the melody, maybe in the chorus, or just repeating catch phrases or words.\nBad songs have no memorable melody or no melody at all some times and lyrics no one or very few people can relate to.

A bit repetitive, but then lots of songs are.\nIf you penned it, keep it up. Everyone starts somewhere.

You have very good meter. The words seem to roll effortlessly off of the tongue. KEEP AT IT. I love the rhymes. \n\nI also like the mood you set up with your words. To be very honest, your lyrics are much better than alot I have read. I am not just being nice, either.\n\nAs a songwriter/arranger/musician myself, it is refreshing to read a good piece of material. Like I said before, KEEP AT IT. Good job.\n\nPeace and chicken grease\nJon

When you relate so well with the lyrics of a song, it's that song that will stay with you forever. You almost want to ask "How did that person know?". The fact that your feelings and life can be put to music in a 4 minute block seems amazing since your life is so much more than that. But once things are better, there will be another song out there so explain how far you've come.

One of my favorite songs.\n\nAnd I don't care if there is a message behind it.\n\nBut it is a good idea.

Music is an expression of self. It is very powerful. It can affect mood, trigger memories...\nI think We attach to songs for two reasons. 1) The song conveys a message that reflects who we are and what we believe in. or\n2) It just has a snappy beat and we like the sound of it.\n\nCould music change the way the society perceives other cultures.  I'm guessing no. Primarily because there would typically be a language barrier and most people would not take the time to find out what the lyrics mean. But I believe if they did take that time, it would have some sort of positive impact. For example. Con Te Partiro sung by Anthony Bocelli is a very powerful love song when you look up the lyrics and then listen to it.\nAnyway, could music bring peace between cultures. I'm still thinking no on that. Interesting question.

The words are some of the most important criteria for me. I wonder if many people do actually pay any attention now days however as the songs don't seem to say much any more. Some just say the same word over and over again.

I'm a pro writer.  Nobody "buys" lyrics.  Your best bet is to find a collaborator who will write music to your lyrics.
