Language: intonation's impact on lyrics and song writing for popular music
-
I stumbled upon this video that got me thinking:

The title notwithstanding, it goes pretty deep into how intonation affects lyrics and song writing, and why certain languages have more trouble adapting to certain pop genres.
To the extent that I compose and improvise, I do so for instrumental music, I rarely think about lyrics. Not sure if I agree with various theses and arguments put forth in the video, but it got thinking.

I love that you know there are pop genres. Many people are dismissive of pop. There's no good reason to be be.
I love popular music. It rises or falls based on whether it's popular with the populace. There's something profoundly meaningful about this democratic aspect of it.
I love pop. I love "high art" music. I love many genres of music. So what.
Interesting post.
Thanks.
