| Topic | What might be the best song in the world? Idea from Tenacious D - Tribute song |
| Gaawa_chan 07/14/20 3:16:59 AM #3: | Ha, that question isn't possible to answer. Prioritizing lyrics? You're going to want something poetic that emphasizes vocals and is probably fairly modern. If you want vocal or instrumental technique you'll probably go for a classical or jazz song. It's hard to come up with a song that has some sort of perfect mash of great lyrics, stunning technique, excellent vocals, and is easy to listen to all at once. Like... I could say that The Decemberists have some really great songs in terms of lyrics but let's face it, those vocals are definitely not for everyone. Spem in Alium is a beautiful song (I found the King's Singers version of the song years and years ago and when I first played it for someone, they started crying from it) but it doesn't have instruments and its lyrics are just religious text in the form of an extremely complex round that turns the song more into a pure interplay of vocal sound than a song with a message you're supposed to get. Metal songs can have extraordinary percussive performances but their vocals often leave something to be desired for people. Complexity is impressive but not necessarily as impactful or memorable as starkness (I think a lot of Beatles songs are pretty good examples of this), and one is not necessarily "better" than the other. *shrug* If you're just asking for music recommendations, that's different, lol. --- Hi ...
