| «Today’s Lyrics Are Pathetically Bad» Rick Beato @immatthewj I would confess not all that much. But in a way that makes my point. During the 60s and 70s you didn’t have to search high and low or put a great deal of effort into finding great songs. In fact, it was hard to miss them. All you ha... | |
| Anyone read this NYT story about analog audio bars? They'd have to be divided into sections for introverts and extroverts. I enjoy listening with others... in silence! | |
| Can you recommend Jazz for some one that doesn't like Jazz? @2psyop Tones and rhythm are probably not enough if one doesn't grasp the significance of the notes being played. This seems to be a major stumbling block for those who do not like Jazz. It apparently sounds like a random jumble of unrelated not... | |
| «Today’s Lyrics Are Pathetically Bad» Rick Beato I meant, lots of variations of "good writing". @immatthewj +1 | |
| «Today’s Lyrics Are Pathetically Bad» Rick Beato This thread has got me thinking a lot about what I’ve liked and why, over the years, and what has influenced my preferences. When I was young, a lot of the lyrics I liked were about the search for the ideal partner and all the associated emotions... | |
| «Today’s Lyrics Are Pathetically Bad» Rick Beato @ezwind Can anyone reasonably argue that today's young songwriters are putting out music with lyrics comparable to those songs? I doubt it. How much effort have you put into exploring contemporary songwriters? I haven't read through the ent... | |
| «Today’s Lyrics Are Pathetically Bad» Rick Beato @tyray I watched those videos and I respectfully suggest we simply agree to disagree regarding what constitutes "melodic" where Rap is concerned and focus on what we both like. Overall, from what I've seen so far, our tastes overlap much more t... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @frogman I’m afraid I can’t shed any light on the "Cisco" discrepancy but I’m looking forward to buying the Remler release! The Virtuoso series highlighted Pass’ solo chord melody playing. Here’s one of several that featured his single-line ... | |
| «Today’s Lyrics Are Pathetically Bad» Rick Beato @tyray Please link me to some Rap in which melody is as prominent as the rhythmic delivery of the lyrics. | |
| Jazz for aficionados ... while on the topic of Jazz guitar, here's a track from an upcoming live Emily Remler release "Live at the Four Queens, Las Vegas, May 28th, 1984": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=akjgp20yZ8Y | |
| Jazz for aficionados @curiousjim Back atcha ! | |
| «Today’s Lyrics Are Pathetically Bad» Rick Beato @tyray As a listener, rhythm is extremely important to me. On a wider scale, the contribution that African culture has contributed in this regard to the world (and to my enjoyment of Jazz, Rock and Blues) is unquestionable and profound. However... | |
| «Today’s Lyrics Are Pathetically Bad» Rick Beato @mahgister That was the era convergent complicities, everyone was ready to discover not so much consumate a product... The young generations was educated and very distinct from his fathers... We were lucky... Yes! ... and every generation has... | |
| «Today’s Lyrics Are Pathetically Bad» Rick Beato @bdp24 I guess we should count ourselves as lucky to be familiar with Americana, given its great wealth of talent! @mahgister The truth is the public also must be talented and educated...No musician nevermind his genius can win over smartpho... | |
| «Today’s Lyrics Are Pathetically Bad» Rick Beato @frogman He is not saying that there are no good lyrics being written today. He acknowledges that there are. He is saying that today there are few songs with good lyrics relative to their popularity (number of listens). OK. My bad, then. I gu... |
