Creators of music have a responsibility to their craft. When they have finished using all the notes and words, they must pass them down to the next generation with a simple request. “Use these to create new music.”...Steven McDonald
How about this being a "Post Your worst Lyrics thread" LOL

Yeah that's what I was thinking too...so when do we start....LOLOL
Actually I was thinking they would be lyrics that everyone might know, not their own stuff

These are GOOD LYRICS! Simple, cohesive, and obviously lend themselves to rhythm lol... THAT'S STYLE!
Beato is absolutely right. It's as if rhyming is more important than meaning today. Beat is more important than melody. IT'S INTELLECTUALLY LAZY!
But, hey, spamming hits and boosting votes is cool today...
He always does that , He's good on music and theory, but comes off as grandpa all the time. Blah Blah Blah comments on the Beatles were the best , really ? He's net worth in 10 million , so now he's the famous youtuber making the bucks. alot of new music is great lyrically and musically , if your not listening from your rocking chair . kids don't care on the 60ties 70ties 8oties 90ties 20ties by great grandpa's and music sucks , its 2024. Led Zeplin , who the hell is that ? , when they come out... during the Civil War. WTF This sucks , Shocking listen to this !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! sucking people in . Same deal when the Beatles hit , Old grandpa , This sucks , nothing changes. Kids were the same 1000 years before the fairy tale and 2024 after the fairy tale . they believe in fairy tales of their generation and how it presented to the by artists the same age as them. Grandpa didn't get the memo , cuz it wasn't invented yet. No doubt the Flinstones had great music , but to say this generation music sucks , belongs in a rest home with Biden .
Pop, Rap/crap and even some rock, it seems lyrics don't seem to matter, but in country and gospel lyrics do matter. I don't write or listen to rap and little pop so go ahead and put out the garbage, but leave country alone. Destroy genres that say nothing or promote violence, but country is suppose to say something about life while gospel tell about eternal life, stay away, stay in your own lane.
Rap (crap as you put it, cuz its not Motown) is the top Genre for kids, That weren't born when dinosaurs ruled the earth. Whoever say their lyrics don't matter , maybe should listen more to them . but in all fairness you should not say : you go girl "if your white and old , its a bit embarrassing. I always found that amusing in gospel music , Somebody wins or loses on awards .I guess Jesus loved the winner more.

I don't doubt that. I even tried my hand at a "rap song."
A few years ago, I watched a segment on M&M where he explained how he jotted down ideas, catalogued them and then put them into songs. It was kind of fascinating. Real bright guy.
Until then I never considered rhyming O-ringe (orange) with Door hinge. That was some of his collected notes.
As yet, I haven't looked closely at any rap lyrics that I came across and been able to say...that is really good writing. Rhyming going on. Rhythmic stuff going on, but truly worthy and elevated content, I can't find.
Since you are the 72 year old non-dinosaur who is in touch with such things...please point something up.
ha ha right Dino , Anything by these guys . some of it's a bit much for a ole country boy , But keep a open mind . R Kelly had some great songs , But we all know what happened to him .He really blew it . his early stuff i mean , Before he turned into I'm God and all that bullshit . The whole point is.. new music does not suck . Just different like everyone before them . there all about the same , start at 12 years old get a deal by 20 , off they go

Lyrics below
Uh, from the bottom of the ash I rose Yeah, to the top I go, where I'm from, it's cold But I don't need this coat (nah), keep my sleeves rolled Got my city's area code on my shoulder (what up?) 216 forever in my soul Swear to God every single night, it gets colder No heat so we all around that stove Like, "[naughty word removed] this broke [naughty word removed]!", petty ass hustling Couldn't even sell one zone Slim still workin' at the store And the only time we ever get to eat is when he brings something home Every day's dark here Praying for a rainbow to lead us to that pot of gold And exchange those nights on a concrete floor For a bottle of Rose to pop that bitch off like we suppose to Never gave a [naughty word removed] if we went gold I just wanna be able to say that "I made it" 'Cause real EST mo'fuckers don't fold Real EST mo'fuckers don't break up, real family grows old Real EST mo'fuckers representin' for the city where they came even when they gone And [naughty word removed] this throne, ain't no kings No pretty princess, ain't no queen No fairy tale endings on the eastside Just these broken homes and those screams Broken bones underneath these jeans Broken bricks cover up my streets Fiends outside trying to get they fix While my firstborn in here trying to get sleep Motherfuck this rap [naughty word removed] Try buryin' your boy six feet, let me show you 'bout real Try telling me that you can't make it up out the city 26 dollars to multi-mills Face inside of the XXL Then try coming back to the eastside still Well bitch I did, and it's still the kid Labeled a Bad Boy before this deal What up Slim, Dub, Xplo, Dre, Swirv, Ash, my boy BK? And everybody from the beginning that bled with me knowing I would be here one day So as I roll through all the hoods that raised me Lookin' at the house of pain I'ma runaway from the ones that pay me Hoping I'll stay the same Can't you save me? Can't you save me? Can't you save me? Can't you save me?
I'll give ya a point of reference, My wife is young , She plays songs like this and I'll say being a (dinosaur( you like this [naughty word removed] ? . She'll say.. its what kids listen to these days . if you go back 50 years and Led Zeplin , You'd probably get the same conversation , with dinosaurs and young people. That same conversation will go on till the end of time . We both like Taylor Swift , and once in in awhile after listening to billion rap songs on Tick Tok, She'll say.. these song are nasty , or something of that effect .
Country music is notorious on this "Jelly Roll sucks , a bunch of old farts who grew up on Alan Jackson. Now I like Alans stuff , but trends change .
Disagree...you are stereotyping dinosaurs
I don't like everything that Jelly Roll does, but these lyrics and the musical delivery are extraordinary imho. It's not about being current and hip and "with-it.". It's because something is actually there.
"I only talk to God when I need a favor And I only pray when I ain't got a prayer So, who the hell am I, who the hell am I to expect a savior? Oh-oh-oh If I only talk to God when I need a favor But God, I need a favor"
"Hangin' in there, just barely Throwin' up prayers, like Hail Mary's If You're still there, Lord, spare me Oh my God, oh my God, Hail Mary"
Yes its real good , I'm not sure why you disagree on back to topic. Old people and young people have different generations of music to relate too. its always been like that , Not because Rick Beato came around , Don't get me wrong , I like him , just not todays music sucks vids
The world is passing the "old farts" by. I am not one of those old farts, because I am "tuned-in." The proof of that is my love for Taylor Swift.
My point was...that being old, young or in-between and/or liking Taylor Swift is not the primary measurement. It is whether or not, there is actually some "there" there when you look at lyrics. With Jelly Roll and "Need A Favor." Massive there, there. With MGK and many others on your list...where's the beef?
As the little boy said when the emperor passed...that dude may be the emperor, but he's nekid. Don't tell me he ain't.
Somebody 90 -years old is going to relate to String Bean and not Jelly Roll. Fans are not songwriters , So your measure and fans are going to be completely different.
As the little boy said when the emperor passed...that dude may be the emperor, but he's nekid, I have no idea what that means , But I've read it before , lol
Lyrics matter in many ways, one overlooked way is the sound of the words, it just like another instrument in the mix. some words sound better than others, they just do. and even if most of us never understand most lyrics, there are many that do come through, even if its one or two great lines that stop us and say wow, yup
and whats the point of writing a song anyway? to communicate something. If you're doing it as a hobby it shows. you're supposed to be communicating something, not self endulging your ability to rhyme two words.
writing for sake of writing is fun i guess, but its supposed to be heard. Unfortunately for most of us thats not reality.
But for me, im still gonna play the game the way its supposed to be played.
Anyway, somebody 90 years old is only going to listen to, if at all, to music of his youth.
Something about the music that was popular when you were a teenager, defines who you are, and everything else seems to suck.
For that matter, you can intentionally make music that sounds exactly like whatever era youre talking about it, and that person STILL wont really dig it. it's about YOU and your life, and your time, nobody elses.
When i play led zepeplin for a youngster, its hard for me to imagine that they have no use for it, but they dont.
Ill say doesnt that guitar solo excite you? huh? who cares.
but if led zeppelin was suddenly on the radio today again, on pop stations, then kids would be digging it.
Some songs are like being on a flight over Sudan with no air con , between 2 sumo wrestlers in track suits eating ritz crackers like a praying mantis. You can't wait for the 3 minutes are over . And some are like being over a flight over Malibu between 2 playboy models hand feeding you caviar . You wish the flight would never end .
