Tuning in / tuned out.

Most of my life when listening to music I've tended to take in the music but not the words. Years ago a professional singer I knew asked me my opinion of her latest song. I said I liked the sound of it. When she asked me about the lyrics I said honestly 'I've no idea' and she was unimpressed with that. Has anyone else experienced similar with music and/or other things? I'm watching some 1980s music videos, some of which I liked at the time. I'm able to take in (without trying too hard) the lyrics too now which is refreshing and like a new experience of the same thing, funnily enough Slight smile

  • Yes I find it difficult to take in lyrics too. For me it's likely a difficulty in processing auditory information in general. My ears were checked and were fine so they put it down to my brain not processing speech very well, particularly when involving people talking to me for a length of time or with background sound. So lyrics can be quite hard.

    Fortunately I really love classical and choral music where the lyrics really aren't the point. And for my non classical music if I want to learn the song I look up the lyrics and do it that way.
