Not sure if this belongs in ZC, but . . .
I was reading through the paragraphs in the Symphonic Mini-Tournament threads and I realize that I haven't had time to read or figure out lyrics to songs for quite a while now . . . years actually.
When I was much younger, I used to relish buying a cd, putting it on and lying on my bed reading the lyric sheet as the disc played on. That's why I know so many lyrics to 80s up through mid to late 90s music.
But then I graduated college and went to law school and blah blah blah and all that followed, and I just have never had time since then to really dig in to the lyrics to any new music.
I frickin' LOVE Bloc Party and I don't know the lyrics to 95% of their songs! (I did make an effort with "Waiting For The 7.18" because I absolutely adore that song and I just had to know what he was singing!) Even HTDAAB, I never really had time to sit down and figure out all the lyrics. I don't even think I could cite "Vertigo" lyrics accurately . . . and that song was everywhere.
Plus, so much new music is digitally downloaded and doesn't even have lyric sheets.
I guess it just bums me out. I feel like I'm missing over 1/2 the song without knowing the lyrics. I couldn't even partake in the Symphonic Mini-Tournament if I wanted to -- you have to know the lyrics to have a theme.
Damn growing older and not having time for youthful indulgences anymore!
