I was the exact same way as you up until very recently. I’m all about the music and the instruments, and I’ve been that way all my life. Very recently, a good friend of mine sent me some music in a playlist, it’s all more or less simple stuff, but to them it’s all about the lyrics. So I say with this playlist, listened to it “my way” then on the 2nd go, really payed attention to the lyrics, even with them on screen for me to read along with. It was refreshing to say the least, it let me appreciate the music that I glanced over for so long, and my music taste has been changed ever since.
