    This simply enlapixs why people can be attracted to foreign songs when they don’t even know what the lyrics mean. Precisely why I can be deeply touched by the beautiful melody written by say, ??? but not some songs with insightful lyrics yet so-so melody or arrangements. Seldom do I hear a canton-pop song with a complexity and delicacy in the arrangement that moves me by just its music. It is really a pity and I’m glad this piece points to this issue.I personally believe that the singer’s voice is one intergral part of the song itself (which is important to the song); lyrics of course plays a supplementary role but this should be be exaggerated. When lyrics become such an important role why don’t we just read poems?VA:F [1.9.22_1171](from 8 votes)
