Interesting piece, Kathy!
For me I’ve always been more interested in the instrumentals than the lyrics. It doesn’t matter what the genre is, or whether it’s more or less melodic and rhythmic. I just love music, simple as that.
In terms of songs that truly touched me for their lyricism, they had to catch me at the right place in the right time. Much of OK Computer and Kid A resonates with me lyrically this past year.
Everything In It’s Right Place ironically because everything is NOT in its right place. Lol. And when I’m feeling too overwhelmed How to Disappear Completely is the perfect sad meditative track I need. Finally Idioteque perfectly describes how I feel about Fox News and COVID.
