Protip: Put it on celery and then it counts as a vegetable.

How does one sing along to a song without knowing lyrics? Who would listen to Pantera without being able to angry point and say āCanāt you see Iām easily bothered by persistence? One step from lashing out at youā
My go to snack has been alternating bites from 2 bananas and spoonfuls of pb.
Celery will be good for the sake of variety. Besides, I already count the sugar free bbq sauce as my daily veggies

Well if you listen to todayās mainstream music, then yeah youāll find lots of shallow lyrics. And donāt even think Iām a modern music snob. From a song writing standpoint, Taylor swift is actually creative with her lyrics. Oh and did I mention Eminem? Flame free. Lol

I donāt sing lol. Iāll sometimes do it in funny voices, but not once in my entire 28 years on this planet have I ever sang in my ārealā voice.
Sometimes I think what if Iāve got an awesome voice and could be filthy rich 
but we will never know because itāll never happen.
The sound of silence should only be listened to when an old bald guy with weird piercings is singing it. Then the volume must be ALL the way up with enough base to feel it everywhere.

I change the lyrics in my head for laughs.
āCant you see Iām easily bothered by the giblets!?!ā
āOne step from lashing out at Stews!ā
And if you change Freebird to Cheeseburger it becomes completely different but also beautiful āin its own wayā.

Disturbed did a great job with the cover, but donāt diss S&G, dude. Not cool.
Also, @garagerocker13 - Iāve been breaking the news about that song to people for a while. It was the feel-good song of the 90s when we were drinking beers on the beach next to a bonfire, but one of the lyrics is literally ādoing crystal meth will lift you up until you breakā, haha.

Mostly the same for me other than some artists like Leonard Cohen and The Clash. The Clash were like the perfect combination of great music and lyrics that really hit you hard. Oh, and Springsteen. Springsteen is such a wonderful storyteller.
My favourite band of all time since I was a teen is Led Zeppelin. I only knew found out some of my favourite songs like Ramble On were about Hobbits and shit after I watched Lord of the Rings.
I really wish I had some sort of app to cancel out the vocals of the some progressive rock/metal stuff I listen to like Dream Theater. Their lyrics are shit and though the singer isnāt bad, the vocal melodies are rubbish.
Isnāt that just the karaoke version of the song? Lol

Yeah, but the sound quality suffers and I have to download the songs from youtube. Hopefully some good sound engineer with tech skills will create an app for this. Iāll gladly pay for it.
Some fucker actually claimed to have done something like this and I think it was an obvious troll job:
This, ironically, is the greatest version Iāve ever heard lol.
I forgot about Simon and Garfunkel. The Boxer has some of the greatest lyrics ever IMO.
I canāt listen to this part without getting choked up:
In the clearing stands a boxer
And a fighter by his trade
And he carries the reminders
Of every glove that laid him down
Or cut him till he cried out
In his anger and his shame
āI am leaving, I am leavingā
But the fighter still remains
āAll lies and jestā¦ā
Also forgot about David Bowie. Heās also one hell of a storyteller.

Iām in the āboth lyrics and musicā camp with a lean towards lyrics. Iām glad a few people have recommended Simon and the G-Funk as fantastic lyricists. I love when lyrics express some profound or common truth and the music amplifies the words.
In that vein, Iāll add two more - Leonard Cohenās Hallelujah, especially John Bon Joviās cover:

And Idan Raichel, an Israeli musician. Here, heās playing at an IDF base for special needs soldiers. The two singing with him have phenomenal voices:
A decent English translation of the Hebrew lyrics:

What is time telling me?
Itās all fragments of life
And to live in the moment
To start gathering the broken pieces
Maybe I will get out more
Start to hurry things up
Start to get along
And make some noise
Maybe a different place
A more exciting place
Start to shake things up
And mend them once more

That freakinā rocks! The arrangement and vocal style slightly reminds me of an IDF version that you might enjoy:

Heās a fucking legend. Dude goes to audition for the first screening of Les Miserables. They hear him sing and think heās so good they go and write an additional song just for him.
Iām sure most have heard inferior covers of the song:

I also read the guardian - not sure if that makes me a leftie.
Started during the brexit period to keep abreast of what was going on in the UK, ended up with the guardian, mostly because there was no paywall. Now i actually pay a few euros a month, because I like the business model and want to encourage that kind of newssite subscriptions.
