oh how lovely...they could read out recipes for fluffy-puffy pancakes, intonate it with 2 chords and some grunts and you kids would go: woha dude!!...sounds rad, man...let's go buy!!
unfortunately i perfectly understand, what they're singin' and that's not very different from the ridiculous american/british/finnish/you name it lyrics...
I don't give a shit about the lyrics. Till could be singing about eggs and flour for all I care, he still has a great voice and they still make great music.
no, its like saying i dont like certian peotry because the words are stupid. music should make sense. its not only about how it sounds, which it should sound good, which is why i like rammstein so much. but music is like poety set to music. and if that poetry is crap, the music can only do so much to help it.
The music does make sense. You just don't like the lyrics.
If you're out to try and prove that the lyrics affect the music then you aren't going to get anywhere.
Music is like...music. That's what music is. If you listen to music for lyrics then you're simply missing the point. I buy a Rammstein CD to listen to the musicians on it, Till's voice, not the words coming out of his mouth. If I cared about those I'd go to their site and read the lyrics.
You seem to have the very backward belief that it's the music's job to help the lyrics. It's not, it's on it's own. Music is music, lyrics are a guest in music. Not the host.
and thats exactly why i listen to rammstein. when i listen to music, i have to listen to the lyrics, call it a bad habit, but i listen to lyrics and i like good lyrics, and dislike bad lyrics, like other people like good music and dislike bad music. and some lyrics i just don't like, and thats why i dont listen to music that goes with them, thats true. but lots are just stupid and dont make any sense at all.
essentially doesn't matter? you must be crazy. (Leaving aside music with no words) its about expression right? saying what youre feeling and like that. Thats what music is. look at old country for a good example, thats music sung from the heart. when you have nonsense lyrics you ruin the spirit of good music. thats whats ruining it for me.

my german techer is a huge fan of theirs, so shes made Rammstein converts out of all her students!
