Are any of you really affected by lyrics/tones of songs? (aussie.zone)

I tend to find song lyrics, tones of music etc. really hit me super hard. I'm curious to know how others feel?

So a couple of songs to add to this: Oceanlab - Breaking Ties

Randy Boyer & Eric Tadla feat. Dan Sanfilippo - Alive (HeatBeat Mix)

(Sorry, I'm an old-school DJ) But I do want input. I find music really hits me hard, and that's actually OK. So hit me with your songs.

Controversial take, but probably makes sense since I majored in classical performance. I get teased all the time, I don't listen to lyrics basically at all, often don't even listen to the words until a 3rd or 4th listen. Zero in on the bass / harmony, then percussion, and then maybe the words.

IMO, storytelling through music can be even deeper without relying on words to explain it. Something like Mingus usually hits me way harder emotionally: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f9FzSSGTufQ

Me too. I really enjoy music but don't care about lyrics unless I'm really into a song. The voice is important though, I love the sounds a voice adds to a composition. Bass, harmony, percussion. All that speaks to me more than the words.
