It was my partner's birthday yesterday and I made him a playlist called songs that convey how I feel about you.
He listens to one song on the playlist and tells me it was a pretty solid playlist. However, regarding the two heartfelt Taylor Swift songs on the hour-long playlist, he tells me I should switch them out for insert other songs that do not convey the same meaning as the Taylor Swift songs at all because they were "better". He didn't listen to the songs.
Maybe he's just not a lyrics person, though I'd think the title would convey that the lyrics are important. It sucks that I'll have to explain that and also that we are probably not on the same wavelength. I'm debating ending it.
Don't write it off completely... I'm not a lyrics person at all. For me it's about the feel and emotion in the music with the vocal - but not necessarily the lyrics, you know....
There's a thing called frisson (I think), which is that rush of emotion you get when listening to a song, look at a piece of art, read a passage that you really understand etc. Example for me is the guitar riff kick in my previously mentioned Fix You by Coldplay... The lyrics are ok I guess, but that guitar at 2:35 just hits so hard every time I hear it...
