How Easy Do You Find It To Hear The Lyrics In A Song?
It dawned on me today, that with most songs, I find it hard to hear the words in the song. I would catch the odd sentence, but some words just aren't pronounced properly. It's not an issue of volume, it's just diction and pronounciation
![]() When you listen to songs, do you always hear the words properly the first time you listen to it? Or do you read the cover sleeves/look at the lyrics online?

Depends on the artist, really

Don't even care for the lyrics. It's the tune that I like.

It depends-I often listen to songs that aren't sung in English and my aptitude for other languages can be very limited. I'll usually look the lyrics up and run them through a translator if that's the case.

It really depends on the type of song being sang. If its some Raggae Dancehall for example, such as Mavado. It's a bit hard to understand. Similar problem with Busta Rhymes style speed rapping.

![]() When you listen to songs, do you always hear the words properly the first time you listen to it?

You can sing a particular song for years, only to discover you've been singing the wrong words! Makes a difference even if you're only out by a couple of words.An example of a song where one word really DOES make a difference:- 'Please Don't Touch' by Motorhead & Girlschool - for a long time I was convinced they were singing "Please don't touch I shag so much" when in fact it's "Please don't touch I shake so much".

As some have said a lot of it depends on the artist. Some tend to mumble a bit, or their accent can throw you off.
But with most of the artists I like I can pick them out rather easily. |

Old stuff I can hear ok, but modern stuff I find the music over powers the words. I think Bob Dylan said there is too much noise now, he may be right...

I use broadcast audio processing, and it's tweaked to enhance the lyrics

Makes a difference even if you're only out by a couple of words.
