watch it and weep
i think bad lyrics can make a song worse. i particularly despise crappy, mush songs superimposed on generic production, complete with soaring strings and the like. i think the unusual production was one of the reasons why i liked umbrella (there, i admitted it :p). (can’t figure out how to get the link in colour - i am a luddite)
on the other hand great or even good lyrics aren’t really necessary for a song to be great. sometimes the quality of a song is improved just by how the voice is used as an instrument. its almost irrelevant what the lyrics are. isn’t this one of the reasons we enjoy music in a foreign language which we don’t understand?
