Title: What determines if you like a song or not?
Post by: Kurama on May 25, 2016, 04:05:28 PM
We're an eclectic lil e-family here. I always wondered what is it that makes people go UP for a song???

Vocals? Verses? Beat? A video? (You musical terminologists can help me with terms lolz)

A combination of beat, vocals, and lyrics for the most part

The beat, overall.

Production>

The vocal would have be completely terr to ruin the production

I typically go up for how the song ends and how it begins. The atmosphere it creates. The things I can feel/imagine while listening. I think that comes from the melody and flow more than anything.

Vocals and lyrics usually come last.

Usually if a songs can trigger my imagination. No matter the genre.

It could be the dumbest trap song imaginable. But if it my mind start to create a whole world for it with images n mess.
Like I start to envision the song.

For me it's a combination of beat and vocals.

I'm an atmosphere gorl as well. I love music that really captures a mood and makes me feel it, even if I can't understand a word they are singing.

For example...



I love this song, but I have no idea what they are saying.
However, I can still feel the song and interpret it the way I want.

I love music that stimulates me, no matter how basic or complex it may be.

Im thinking and it really is everything for me. I have heard songs where I like the beat but the voice is terrible, liked the voice but the lyrics are dumb, or I simply cant get beyond the music. Ive written songs off for all of them. This is kinda my problem with Brandy's Afrodisiac. Of course Brandy SINGS, but between those corny ass lyrics and that production, I just think it's a terrible song. Im very voice heavy tho so when she performed it live I actually was able to get in a lil more

So it's a combination of beat/production,  lyrics,  and if the song creates a feeling in me. Whether it's a slut to feeling or emotional feeling....

The voice can't be too bad no shade.

For example:

BANKS

Cute production but I can't take her warbled vocal for a whole song

I really liked her music from what I heard. Funny enough I just went looking for her album the other day. I never got "warbled voice" but I have not fully got into all her work tho

For you lyrical or mood folks, do you listen to music because it helps you feel something that you haven't expressed or become aware of?
Title: Re: What determines if you like a song or not?
Post by: charlie. on May 25, 2016, 04:38:39 PM
I think for me it's the melody of the vocals and the beat.

And then the lyrics....
OVERALL, the beginning (of the beat/vocals) has to catch me and then the vocal arrangement and melody should keep me interested.

If not, I'll turn it off and try to relisten later (if it's someone worth retrying. ddd or unless I'm listening to an album)

It depends on the genre.

If it's something outside of R&B/pop, I can ignore something like shrill vocals or sparse production.

Post by: Buy The Stars✨ on May 25, 2016, 04:40:21 PM
the beat first.. before i can even get into the lyrics i need to be invited in by some nice instruments or a beat.. then ill listen to the words too
Title: Re: What determines if you like a song or not?
Post by: Vonc2002 on May 25, 2016, 04:41:08 PM
Maybe not something that I havent expressed or become aware of but I just wanna connect with the song and what ur saying. I need to empathize, sympathize, SOMETHING! That's why I dont like alot of younger R&B. They usually aint talking about shit or the lyric is so damn basic
Title: Re: What determines if you like a song or not?
Post by: b7 on May 25, 2016, 04:41:31 PM
production is one thing. the melody (consistent or otherwise) has to be GOOD, period.

The vocal is important if im listening to a singer no matter the genre, and then eventually i get into the lyrics. If i really really like a song, THEN i start tuning into the lyrical conent, unless its a basic song and pretty straight forward, obviously.
Title: Re: What determines if you like a song or not?
Post by: yummy on May 25, 2016, 04:41:49 PM
I just realized I don't pay attention to lyrics half the time. I usually get caught up in the melody and production.

I've actually read lyrics to a song before and developed a new appreciation for it after I listen again with lyrics in mind. :ohwow:

I like ambiguous lyrics that are metaphorical or imaginative. It allows for me to interpret my own meaning behind lyrics and thusly making it more personal I guess....im weird lolz

Idk guys. Sometimes I like MY version of the lyrics. Im scared usually to look song lyrics up because then the song may be about something Im not really here for :dead:


I like ambiguous lyrics that are metaphorical or imaginative. It allows for me to interpret my own meaning behind lyrics and thusly making it more personal I guess....im weird lolz
no no i agree with this too. it really all depends

It depends on the genre.

If it's something outside of R&B/pop, I can ignore something like shrill vocals or sparse production.

!!!

Yeah I definitely see having requirements depending on what genre.
I can agree with this. the vocal is a constant for me, I have to  like it regardless of genre.
From Marilyn Manson's Beautiful People (love this damn song) to something completely R&B I need to be captivated by the fckn vocal

In that order. Sometimes 2 and 3 switch for me, depending on the artist.

For me, it's the beat (production) and how the melody or vocal (tone) RIDES the fuck over it. I love catchiness.


Tone wise, an example would be "I Been That Girl" by Melanie Fiona.

I love how A song begins or ends. It kinda go up when certain artists let out a moan or lil signature rift to let ppl know it's them. Brit was kinda IT for that.


Songs ending like these....SEND me off proper dammnit!

I'm an atmosphere gorl as well. I love music that really captures a mood and makes me feel it, even if I can't understand a word they are singing.

I love music that stimulates me, no matter how basic or complex it may be.

Something has to resonate within me and intrigue me

Whether it's the best, melody, lyrics  or vocal

Usually I focus mostly on the vocal
how the person sounds (tone/timbre the ad-libs, the bgvs/harmonies)
then the lyrics next, usually Im just hoping it makes sense and its some repetitive mess
then the production, but I pay most attention to that for rap/hip-hop since they dont really care
how they "sing"
