That particular program aside, pianos are worth very little second-hand. If you have a couple of friends and a truck, you should be able to find something very cheaply.

A few weeks ago the news had Ozzy coming out of a hospital and how he couldn't perform any longer... Now, let's rock.... Wtf

There’s a lot of things from 50 years ago that aren’t acceptable today. It’s called progress. You seem really delicate and like you’re offended by people maybe not wanting to use terminology that referred to human enslavement before it was used for pretty much anything else. Which is a problem still present in the world today, so maybe those words should continue to have the gravity of what they refer to as to not minimize the problem that it still is.

Changing the terminology we use has little impact on your life. So again, is that the hill you really want to die on? You seem awfully sensitive about it, and the rest of us are fully capable of saying “yeah, that makes sense” and moving the fuck on. Just sayin…

Joey Bada$$- Land of the Free

Kendrick Lamar- Alright

Not new songs but definitely talking about the current climate in America.

Go back even further with punk like NOFX or Bad Religion.

The people are going to have to rise up and not rest until something is done.

One of the greatest rap concept albums of all time.

This album is amazing and so sad, flowers and you is an amazing song

I was the exact same way as you up until very recently. I’m all about the music and the instruments, and I’ve been that way all my life. Very recently, a good friend of mine sent me some music in a playlist, it’s all more or less simple stuff, but to them it’s all about the lyrics. So I say with this playlist, listened to it “my way” then on the 2nd go, really payed attention to the lyrics, even with them on screen for me to read along with. It was refreshing to say the least, it let me appreciate the music that I glanced over for so long, and my music taste has been changed ever since.

It's now available in my country

It really depends. If I notice that the lyrics are actually deep, well thought out commentary I’ll pay attention, otherwise I just treat them like another instrument in my head.

I feel like most mainstream listeners expect lyrics at this point. I’ve literally had people be confused or surprised when I’ve shown them songs without lyrics. It’s kind of annoying, because it seems to lead to people just shitting on genres of music simply because the lyrics are muddy or not concise, or not the forefront of the music

perfect circle, talk talk

Like I am confused between, squier bullet Strat and tele then Yamaha Pacifica 012, then HH guitars like cort x1 and Jackson js 11 also like cort cr50.

Tranquility base hotel and casino by the arctic monkeys is a really cool dark jazz album. It is based on a hotel and casino called tranquility base thats on the moon, the ending song the ultra cheese is one of my favourite songs by them, same with the title track, four out of five and the worlds first ever monster truck front flip. It’s an amazing album

For real?

Yes.

The lyrics really hit me in my childhood, I’m with you.

Where The Hells My Money - Mojo Nixon and Skid Roper

Honestly this might just be the litmus test for whether people have played an instrument to any depth.

Hearing lyrics is a skill I didn't start developing until I chose to, when I was 19 or 20 - my gf played a song for me and I had no idea the lyrics were in German lol.

George Michael on Deon Estus' "Heaven Help Me"

More than half of the songs I listen to regularly are instrumental. Another good portion have lyrics that are unintelligible because they're using the vocals as an instrument and not as a method of delivering poetry/meaning.

Saying songs are poetry tied to music is missing the forest for the trees imo. Songs can be (and are) so much more than that.

Yes, I was thinking of getting a guitar and an audio interface and using virtual plugins on my laptop.

I read, probably with the lyrics at Spotify, that she was on a plane and noticed that the clouds reflected in her cup of coffee. And used it in the song.

I don't get the sense that it's direct or obvious.

Tommy Lee on Drums for Jack's Mannequin's debut album.

Southbank - Touching the Stove

But it definitely is about whoever so yeah
