«Today’s Lyrics Are Pathetically Bad» Rick Beato


He know better than me. He is a musician and i am not.  I dont listen contemporary lyrics anyway, they are not all bad for sure, but what is good enough  is few waves in an ocean of bad to worst...

I will never dare to claim it because i am old, not a musician anyway,  i listen classical old music and world music and Jazz...

And old very old lyrics from Franco-Flemish school to Léo Ferré and to the genius  Bob Dylan Dylan...

Just write what you think about Beato informed opinion...

I like him because he spoke bluntly and is enthusiast musician ...

The music Mr. Beato is talking about is far from the art of old that touches the soul and challenges our thoughts. If you have access the AI, the program will write a tune according to the algorithms that maximize clicks. In this world, poetry, musicality and originality are irrelevant. The hard work of creating in hopes of engaging others and redefining how we see things has been replaced with mindless use of computer technology in the pursuit of clicks and likes. You don't need to be well read or articulate or spend years honing your musical talents, just use the software and connect to right platforms. It doesn't matter if you can carry a tune, the software will fix all that. This reminds me of the 2006 film Idiocracy where two average people are frozen for 500 years and when they wake up, they are the smartest people on the planet. What so many now find valuable can be a real head scratcher. I hope this is all a fad and the value of artistic skill and vision will prevail. Maybe I'm just getting older and having a harder time relating?
PS - Please remember to keep your dog off my lawn.

Wow, so do I agree, but it’s not just 5he songs, one also needs to take into account the actual recording, which is very important to the end user, which in turn effects you as well!

Shocking how stupid and narrow minded people get as they age.  But hey, be happy in your rut.  

I only listen to contemporay music at the gym.  I don't know the last time I heard a voice that wasn't electronicly modified.  It is hardly music at all.
