Lyrics vs Melody - who are you?

Most of us enjoy music. In fact, I would say everyone enjoys music, but for a few troubled people around us. Please give them a hug if you know one, because honestly, we are crazy about music over here at Epoh Music. And we cannot begin to imagine how hard life must be without music. 

Back to the gist, people love music differently, and that is ok. Everyone has different things they enjoy in music. For some, it is the lyrics. They want the words to speak to them, to express their thoughts. They want the words to give them strength and bring healing and comfort to them. Honestly, this is not too much to demand. And for people like this, no matter how popular or recommended a song is, the quality of lyrics are not negotiable for them. 

For team melody, it how pleasing the sound is to the ears. How every word rhymes and the beat compliments the strings. It is about the tempo, how fast or how slow. And these are people you find listening to the same type of songs, maybe different artists, but the same style of music. Because what they are looking for is the sound that soothes their ears. However, it is not that they don’t listen to the lyrics. It is that they care less. They can dance-off to a song that has little or no meaning lyrically as long as the song is ‘interesting’. 

However, they are not the only ones with shortcomings. Team lyrics can listen to any song as long as the lyrics speak to them. The song could be so toneless it gets you angry. The melody could make you consider hiring people to beat the artist, but none of that matters to them. 

The lyric people and melody people are constantly at loggerhead because one can seem to understand the other’s choice of song. 

So my question is, which one are you? Have you ever considered what you really enjoy in music?

If you have never considered it, now is a great time to start. You should take a look at your playlist and the type of songs you have there. Music is so close to us and unites us. It is a universal language that connects us. The lyrics and melody are like speaking dialects of the same language, and that only results in a communication breakdown. Understanding people’s choice of music helps us respect their choice without making a final judgement on their character based on their preferred music. 

Whichever one is for you, Epoh Music has an array of music that suits your style. Get started -Register
