GUEST,Ed Do you listen to the words? (72* d) RE: Do you listen to the words? 08 Feb 17


why the input about bloody Pop songs

Because there aren't any physical boundaries between musical genres, Leadfingers. And, thankfully, the discussion of all types of music is welcome here. The home page no longer even makes mention of 'Folk and Blues'.

I'm very much in the music first camp, whatever the genre. When I first became interested in folk, it was the overall sound that appealed to me. Whilst I've become more interested in the words over time, there are still a lot of traditional songs (even some performed unaccompanied) that I love but don't have much idea what the story is.

If I just enjoy the sound, what's wrong with that?

What applies to opera also applies to so called 'World Music'. For example, when I first heard this traditional Malian song I hadn't a clue what it was about. I still found it sublime.
