Great melody/stupid lyrics and vice-versa...
 
...is there such a thing? Examples?

schizophrenicroom 08.11.2009 09:51 PM

her stories are boring and stuff/ shes always calling my bluff

that part of "obstacle 1" by interpol is so pretty but those lyrics kinda ruin it

StevOK 08.11.2009 10:07 PM

I find that almost all lyrics are stupid. Almost.

jerf 08.12.2009 02:19 AM

the mars volta have great songs but pretty pointless lyrics

Stijn 08.12.2009 02:36 AM

pavement ofcourse
although they have at least one good line in every song

chrome noise tape 08.12.2009 03:41 AM

do you mean if someone sing using reality it's a stupid lyric, and with no-sense words sounds cool and arty?...just asking.

artsygrrl 08.12.2009 07:44 AM

yeah.

Wow that's terrible haha

atsonicpark 08.12.2009 07:55 AM

I don't pay attention to lyrics (since they're almost always shit, in any band), unless they're produced by true poets like Don Van Vliet, Sterling Smith, or Mark E. Smith. Maybe another reason I like listening to Japanese music... don't have to focus so much on the awful lyrics. (though, I've read some translations and guess what? Japanese bands really like to talk about the sexual politics of seducing 13 year old schoolgirls with opium!)

SuperCreep 08.12.2009 08:09 AM

The Cars

gualbert 08.12.2009 08:09 AM

Almost everything by The Ramones.
"I don't wanna walk around with you, so why do you wanna walk around with me?"

atsonicpark 08.12.2009 08:10 AM

Wow. That line is brilliant actually.

Mars Volta has no melodies. I mean, I guess you could almost consider the "YI YI YI YEAHHHHHHHH YEA YIIIA YAHH" sequence of notes in every song a melody but I dunno.

Green Magnesium 08.12.2009 11:37 AM

You "dunno" because the band themselves dunno.

atsonicpark 08.12.2009 11:39 AM

they just suck

infinitemusic 08.12.2009 12:44 PM

You suck. Not that I like the Mars Volta, I just wanted to let you know.

DeadDiscoDildo 08.12.2009 01:07 PM

Fuck the Mars Volta and everything they stand for.

All I hear is fap fap fap

Oh look, some newbie with a boring, typical "hey-look-I'm-an-asshole-who-has-contributed-nothing-worthwhile-to-this-board" gimmick finds offense with my posts, probably because I insulted his favorite pitchfork shit band... Either way, not sure what I did to you, but go listen to some meaningful lyrics by Hole or something, broseph, and relax.

True that. I'm sure certain people probably detest that song here. I don't know I think have some weird fascination with hearing the song since I was little

Hey man, I like me a little Hole no question. Big deal? The reason you suck, just so you know, is because you're constantly bitching about yourself and how depressed you are, yet at the same time sort of brag in a really obvious woe-is-me fashion. Your experimental vids are cool though. But you're right that I should relax... I haven't been able to do that much lately what with the cancer scare and all.

atsonicpark 08.12.2009 05:26 PM

Cancer scare?........ that sounds shitty. Hope all is well.

Hey, since you're a newbie -- and I don't mean this in a condescending way, but I feel like you probably don't understand my sense of humor. It's very particular. My constant joking about my own death is just my way of coping with the problems I have. I've never whined about my problems, though I have talked about them with the utmost honesty. And it's always when people ask me. I don't think I've went out of my way to start threads about hating my life, I'm usually provoked with things like, "What the fuck is wrong with you?" Also, I've never bragged, as I don't really feel proud of anything I've done except for an album I made earlier this year that no one paid any attention to. Self-deppreciation is what I'm all about, and I don't take anything seriously either.

Take care.

DeadDiscoDildo 08.12.2009 05:41 PM

^^Im not trying to seem like a back pedaller, like fuck you, oh something serious happend? im sorry!

but ya, that sucks man, I wish I had health insurance....I feel like I have cancer all the time...maybe its just that I spend alot of time in front of the computer, dont excersize, and do way too many drugs and my body just aches from that...

atsonicpark 08.12.2009 05:48 PM

mmm drugs

westernquinoxrox 08.12.2009 05:49 PM

drugsf arge pointless

infinitemusic 08.12.2009 05:51 PM

Hm well, I AM an asshole a lot of the time, pure and simple. I can't really be too shocked when people don't appreciate my bluntness and rudeness. But anyway, if you want to feel better physically, do some exercise. It changed my life when I started to do that. Even pushups and situps and stuff. Get creative. You can do some really intense pushups if you do a handstand against a wall once regular ones get boring and there are about a billion different little things you can do to shake it up. Or buy some free weights at a garage sale. And if you can find a YMCA or something with a gym that you can use for free, it is awesome. It's a natural high, especially if you like a little pain.
