Topic	For those that drive almost hour long commutes to work: How do you manage it?
Zeus 04/02/17 5:38:23 PM #51:	DorkLink posted... Uh, wait, so do you like the original version of The Boxer or are you talking about somebody doing a reading of the lyrics? I was kind of confused by your post. Because if you are referring to the original, it seems weird you'd like it since it has all the qualities you said you don't like (though "repetitive lyrics" is debatable since the chorus isn't actual words). It sounds basically like your ideal form of music would just be spoken word/poetry. I can see why it might confuse you. However, review the song for a second: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l3LFML_pxlY The lyrics start within the first 5-6 seconds. One of the things I hate most are long instrumental openings. Sure, the background beat is still distracting at times (they picked some odd noises), but there are few breaks in talking. The chorus is very short, which I don't mind. Yes, there's one longish instrumental piece which I'm not fond of and then I just skip to the next song when it hits the orchestral beat at the end. However, despite the things I don't like, it's still a good example of a normal song which I kinda like. As for spoken word/poetry, do you have any good examples? Because what I can recall of it, it's not really storytelling. In general, if I had to pick a favorite song, I'd probably pick "Right-Hand Man" from Hamilton which is a good mix of lyrics and sound (or "Aaron Burr, Sir" or the combo of "Stay Alive" + "Ten Duel Commandments" + "Meet Me Inside") https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HSZwEaYHSpc There is a chorus, but it's barely present. Large portions are just talking set to background music which accompanies it well (and it uses sound-effects in the form of cannons) Granted, I've known people who uncharitably described Hamilton as being a musical without any real music. --- (\/)(\/)\|-\| In Zeus We Trust: All Others Pay Cash <cite>Zeus posted [p:876386665] in For those ...
