do really listen to the song??/??  

I do and I do not if you know what I mean, some songs that I hear, I just hear the words and that is what makes me like the song, but I like a lot of dance music and so with that sort of music there is not really many words in it, so it is mainly the music that attracts me to like it. I am into really modern music and so some of it does not actually make sense or have words in that mean anything to me. But I have some songs on cds from over the years that the words in them tell my story if you know what I mean, they are songs that are linked to certain parts of my life and certain things that happened that meant an awful lot at that time with the words that were in them.

If I am in the mood for music Bella I do tend to really hear a song. Most of the time though the radio is just like the TV its is just background noise. If I am in one of those moods I still love to put the headphones on. I like to play spades on line and play my cd's. With headphones on I can shut out everything and everyone. Yes even this Nana still has to shut everyone off occasionally.

Some songs I like just because of the beat and rhythm (wow, took me forever to get the spelling of that word right!) But most I do know the words to. I don't always know the story behind the song, but I know the words and what they mean to me. I can sing along with many songs I haven't really heard in 20 years. Music is often an emotional experience for me- a good vocalist with passion behind their words can draw me right in and touch my very soul. Even instrumental music, with enough passion in the notes, can do the same thing. So, yes, most of the time I really listen to the song.

I love listening to the words in songs. Even though some songs have great beats and rhythyms, if I don't like the lyrics, I just can't bring myself to listen to it.

The lyrics are what makes the song. Some music reaches the heart, and some music, well just doesn't sounds like music.

If the sound of the tune captures my 'ear', then I listen. If the singer's voice pleases my 'ear', I pay attention. If the words make sense and are above average in imagery, then I become totally engaged in the music and the song. It takes a lot to musically capture my imagination, but I have a totally eclectic group of favorites, so I'm never bored, always entertained and learning something.

Depends on the genre u see. ... If its R n B or hip hop.. its usually for the beats and all.. but if its alter rock, classical etc I listen to it for the inner meaning of the song. for example.. I really love the album Let Love In by Goo Goo Dolls cos the songs have some meaning and they relate to me.. in some way or the other. The same case with Nickelback, Linkin Park et al.

I listen to music to relax but I can hear clear lyric. I only appreciate the melody because it's very interesting with me. It make me want to sing with melody.

I don't really listen to a whole whole lot of music, but i tend to just listen to the beat i think!

Yes, I do listen to the song and I know the meaning of the song that I like.
