Do you understand the words to the Mus U listen to

The words/message many times is hard to understand with some artists.
Dave Matthews at times is like what is he on about?

Paul MaCatney is easy on the words and is quiet funny at times. Most singers mumble their words and frankly I think they have no real message worth thinking about.

PM Mistress & Maid is a message that speaker to the issues of the heart and you can understand the blinking words. Another one is Hope Of Deliverance. Makes the song that much better when you hear/understand a real message.

Any take on Jethro Tull?

What say you?

Inna, the name "Dead Can Dance" is derived from the ability of musicians to make "dead" drums and other musical instruments to come alive and "dance"; of drawing animacy out of inanimacy.

"Dead Can Dance" lyrics: they decided words are too limiting for their music. Lisa Gerrard was listening to her little girl, who hadn't yet learned to talk, "sing"; and decided a musical language unencumbered with words gave her the freedom she needed to express herself. Her language is, "The language of the soul".

They use "goblet drums" from ancient Persia, this gives their music a "mid-eastern" flavor. Lisa Gerrard's dulcimer, is of an ancient Chinese derivation.

I'm sure this is more than you wanted to know about "Dead Can Dance", but I think it clarifies the vocal aspect of this conversation.

No, Orpheus10, this is not. I like Dead Can Dance and have all their albums on vinyl. I also have their 1994 concert in California on video. Very talented people and very interesting duo. Her singing is quite abstract and he is very earthly.

Since the days of the song Louie Louie by the Kingsmen I have not been able to understand all the words to any song with strong electric instruments and/or them screaming into the mike. I think I was 7 back then, so I gave up trying. I like adding my own words to songs anyway; I think it makes them more interesting.
