I like lyrics (I have written various songs) but lyrics with an unfitting melody makes average songs. When I'm listening music (or songs), the first is the tune. If I don't feel anything I don't care about lyrics. For example:

I find Standing On The Outside a great song. It has a feeling, you totally understand what the music's about. It's hopeless and lonely. It's not a complicated song as tune, but the melody is talking. After you read the lyrics, you find the same story. That's what I call good music.

When I'm listening Our Love & Our Souls (what has a message and not only emotion unlike Standing On The Outside) I don't feel the balance between music and lyrics. It's not far from each other, but the arrangement is not enough. I don't talk about Meat's voice what I think is not perfect for the mood of the song. Anyway... When I'm listening the melody OL&OS I imagine another story...

Listening the music I don't feel the cold weather, I don't see a broken car. That's it!
