Those who wanted to keep your music as hobby, what are your musical hobby goals?

[melomood]

Nope, I'm not agreeing with you.

Yes, you are, unless you mean that everybody connects with all lyrics, all the time, but I'd have thought you weren't that stupid, TBH. Perhaps I was giving you more credit than you're due? If you were correct, those nonsense lyrics songs, like Surfin' Bird (or The Bird is the Word, which is a different song, apparently), would never have been successful. The fact that so many songs with nonsense lyrics are wildly successful tends to say otherwise.

When I saw Fischer Z a few years ago in The Netherlands, the only song anyone seemed to want to hear, despite John Watts having some truly deep and meaningful songs, was Limbo, which goes a bit like this -

A riddle, a piddle, a middle, again
A riddle, a piddle, a middle, again
A riddle, a piddle, a middle, again
A riddle, a piddle, a middle, again, a riddle, a piddle, a middle, again, a riddle, a piddle, a middle, again

People were screaming for it so much he just plonked it into the middle of the set to shut them up. (I could see the set list from where I was standing, it wasn't on it.) They connect with it because of the energy the song has, for the catharsis of dancing like a maniac to it for two-and-a-half minutes. Surfin' Bird would be the same, I reckon (especially when The Ramones do it). People love songs for all kinds of reasons but I don't think a connection to the lyrics is one of the bigger reasons.

Hey hey hey

Just because I like bit of the surfing bird,doesn't mean I don't love songs like 'People's Parties' and 'Same Situation' by Joni Mitchell SPECIFICALLY because of the lyrics and their delivery.

It can happen
and I am far,far from the only one this happens with

[BONES]

I said it "can" happen, I just don't think it happens as much as some like to think. Of course, it can go the other way, too. I got the shits with Midnight Oil when their lyrics became overtly political, because I disagree with them on pretty much everything. But then there is The Call, who I still like, even though he sings about God all the time. It didn't become obvious to me until their 4th album or so but once I realised, I could see that a lot of earlier material was in a similar vein. I'd just never really bothered listening closely enough to what he was singing to have picked up on it. He dropped dead when he was 60 so God didn't seem to give a shit what he was singing about, either.

[donkey tugger]

I got the shits with Midnight Oi

Did you stop taking it?

Or,just as easily, maybe it happens more than you're willing to think,having clearly left out genres in which words conveying messages are an integral part of the work

[BONES]

Like what? I think such genres only exist in your head.

Boooooorrrrrrriiiinnnngg!

[polarsky]

I agree with buff

[melomood]

i've heard there's a thing called poetry

but
If you must write prose and poems
The words you use should be your own
Don't plagiaries or take on loan
'Cause there's always someone, somewhere
With a big nose, who knows
And who trips you up and laughs when you fall
Who'll trip you up and laugh when you fall

[Unaspected]

I agree with buff

Iggy's still got it.
