Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti- "Round and Round"
The fact that I found the lyrics in this song hard to understand leads me to have a negative opinion of the song. To me, lyrics are an important part of music with vocals, and because I was not able to easily understand these lyrics, I felt as though I missed out on a great portion of the meaning and value of the music. The fact that there was a varying tempo also had a negative impact on my opinion because I tend towards steady, strong beats. I selected those two facts as they are good examples of my opinion of the song: while not awful, I did not particularly like it. Yes, I have bias. My exposure to meaningful lyrics in the past (ex: Flobots) has led me to appreciate lyrics as an important part of song, and my exposure to songs with strong beats has predisposed my liking of beat-oriented songs.
