Control yourself
Take only what you need from it
[Unintelligible]

Years later, I found out it was:

Control yourself
Take only what you need from it
A family of trees wanting
To be haunted

Ugh, I feel this. I hate listening to music that has a great tune, or interesting textures or rhythms, and then looking up the lyrics and being like… really? This is too stupid, I can’t enjoy it any more.

So many things turn out to be love/sex based. And while I don't think those are unneeded, I do wish a lot weren't.

And this is like, in rock. Though I wish it was less so in pop, as well

I have that issue about 90% of Elton John songs. I heard the lyrics he wrote were even worse than Bernie Taupin's. He should have fired Bernie Taupin.

I don't think I have any kind of disorder, but I've always had trouble understanding lyrics and it's fine by me.

[(Anonymous)]

Waaaaaaaaait, is being unable to hear the lyrics to a song unless you look up/read the lyrics considered a form of auditory processing disorder? I just thought my brain just couldn't do that.

[(Anonymous)]

It can be deflating to realize a song you liked listening to has lyrics that drag it down. But sometimes there’s still enough there that I file it away under “guilty pleasures”. This has got me thinking of the “Ya Nona” skit from A Black Lady Sketch Show:

Honestly hearing lyrics different gave us so much and there's nothing better than fully embracing it. IT's been over 15 years and I still can't get the misheard Wishmaster out of my head, and I wouldn't want it any other way.

Not to mention awful mixing and singers just not enunciating words right.

Like, my god, people in the mixing booth, tell them to sing it again for fucks sakes.

[(Anonymous)]

I am the polar opposite of this. Lyrics are a huge part of my enjoyment of a song, and I can't really imagine having a song I really enjoyed and not having the lyrics memorized.

If I find the lyrics offensive or full-on stupid, then I usually won't like the song. But honestly I don't think that many lyrics are full-on stupid. Most often, with Top 40 stuff, the lyrics are just very basic, and that can be fine, as long as they work well with the music and the singer's vocal delivery.

Alternatively (pun intended), if we go outside the mainstream core a little, there are so many incredible lyrics out there. Not that Top 40 stuff can't be artistically strong. It definitely can be. It just frequently isn't, IMO, because that's often not what it was created to be in the first place.

I thought that Kesha song went "I'm a motherfuckin' bullet!" and was disappointed when it turned out to be "I'm a motherfuckin' woman!"

I found the narration hard going at first but ploughed on because I'm stubborn and I got used to it to the point I really enjoyed the first two books. Not read the third yet.

Not going to be one of those "stick with it!" people because we've all got different thresholds for what works for us. But just wanted to say, even though I liked the books...I completely get your complaint and it's valid. I don't think you're a dummy. It's at best quirky and (at worst) for other people annoying.

I couldn't really get into the web novels myself. I struggled through MDZS and the plot was just all over the place and the translation was... rough. Watching the live action is easier and more enjoyable for me, but there are definitely things that I dislike about the genre in general. Maybe it's just not for you?

But seriously, if you're the secret-maker who keeps hating on Word of Honor and misrepresenting stuff that happens so you can cite it as reasons for why you dislike it... that's not necessary. You're free to hate it, there's no shame is not liking even popular media. But no need to grasp at straws, eh?

Sometimes the press can be great... other times, you wonder what crawled up their ass that morning.

I know there were complaints about the original not being diverse enough but much as I don't want to admit this, that made sense for the characters, they *were* a bunch of white kids living in an extremely sheltered world. Was that realistic? No, but it was part of the design of the world the story took place in (nothing else was realistic either including their sense of time and distance).

Is it too soon to reboot? Technically, no, the world has changed *a lot* since the original went off the air. But...that only means other shows have stepped in to replace it. I mean, if you want to see a Gossip Girl that's allowed to do and say everything the CW didn't allow, then you cna just watch Elite on Netflix.

Thanks secret maker!

Thanks for making the secret! Mine are always so ugly-looking. I don't know how to do the halo'ed text like you do.

Not a fan of the look either OP.
I'm assuming they've done it because they're attempting to age him since they've gone on record as having forgotten to do that in season 1. And hair/beard growth is the go-to method... for some reason.

I feel like Joey could pull it off depending on what sort of material he's been given but I'm wondering if we will see him enough for it to even matter.

I have a feeling that he's going to get a few epic bard moments and then be sidelined for the majority of the show.
