Do you understand the words to the Mus U listen to

The words/message many times is hard to understand with some artists.
Dave Matthews at times is like what is he on about?

Paul MaCatney is easy on the words and is quiet funny at times. Most singers mumble their words and frankly I think they have no real message worth thinking about.

PM Mistress & Maid is a message that speaker to the issues of the heart and you can understand the blinking words. Another one is Hope Of Deliverance. Makes the song that much better when you hear/understand a real message.

Any take on Jethro Tull?

What say you?

I think song writing in general theses days has fallon off some. The powerfull, emotional and cleverness that made you listen and made you think and relate is less these days , I think anyway. Those clever wordsmiths are few and far between. The words and what they are saying just don't appear to be as important as they once were, IMHO.

I moved from Wisconsin to Michigan around six years ago and I still have a hard time understanding the weatherman on the local news channel. Many people in this state talk so fast that they don't enunciate.
I read the liner notes to get a handle on the lyrics whenever possible. Did just that this afternoon listening to "All the Roadrunning" by Mark Knopfler & Emmylou Harris.

Clarity. I have worked hard to improve the clarity of my system. Half of the gibberish is due to a non resolving system IMO.
Once your stuff actually can provide a clear representation of the singing, then you can understand what they ARE singing. Just my perception.
So, in other words, It's not the singer's fault, and not the recording's fault, it is your crappy system. LOL

"She's got the Mercedes bends." You have to read the lyrics or you'll miss lots of good writing.
