I’m a lyrics whore

I’ve always joked about it, but it’s really true, no matter how tired a melody may be, if I really like the lyrics to a song, or they touch me, I can forgive clichéd arrangements, even mediocre voices… lyrics are just the end all be all for me in music.

(Not that I can’t appreciate great, inventive, original MUSIC, there’s lots of lyric-less classical music and jazz that I love, I’m speaking mostly about popular music- get it? =)
